You have the same homework as me don't you?... Well anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is actually a type of alcohol.

What two types of yeast respiration is there?

Aerobic (used to make bread) and anaerobic (used to make alcohol).


Why is yeast used to make beer and wine?

Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.


What waste product of yeast respiration is useful in making wine?

When yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, it gives off Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Ethanol. The Ethanol is used in alcohol production, bread making, gasohol etc.


What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?

Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.


Which organism is most likely use for anaerobic respiration?

Anaerobic bacteria such as certain strains of Escherichia coli and Clostridium are commonly used for anaerobic respiration in laboratory experiments.


Explain ways in which anaerobic respiration is used in the making of alcohol beverages and bread?

When yeasts are used to make bread and for brewing, their ability to respire anaerobically makes them useful. They produce the alcohol for the beer/wine, and the CO2 for the baking. The CO2 makes the bread or pastry rise; the alcohol evaporates during the baking process


What determines which pathway is used in respiration?

The presence of oxygen. Eg if there is oxygen the it will be aerobic respiration, if there isn't oxygen then it will be anaerobic respiration.


What are the 4 differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Anaerobic respiration is performed using ATP. It is only available for your body to use for a short period of time. Aerobic respiration used oxygen and breaks down the atomic bonds to create energy. It lasts longer.


Which terms describes the process of breaking down of sugar or other organic compounds in the absence of oxygen which generates ATP and produces organic acids or alcohol?

Anaerobic respiration.The process is also called fermentation, but this term is used in different ways by different people. Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast, for example, is often called ethanol fermentation, and in animals the equivalent process is lactic acid fermentation.


What does anaerobic respiration have in the food industry?

Humans cannot respire anerobically however, during stressed instances such as excessive running where not enough oxygen is entering the body, glucose can be broken down in the absence of oxygen forming lactic acid which is the reason why you feel a burning sensation after a long sprint/jog. Eventually when you stop and start your regular paced breathing, the oxygen debt is paid and lactic acid concentrations decline.


Where does majority of the energy is stored in anaerobic respiration?

Most of the energy released in cell respiration is recycled. Some of it gets used for other functions, other parts get used to create more ATP to generate more energy.


Why would you not expect to find mitochondria in anaerobic organisms?

Mitochondria are organelles responsible for aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen. Anaerobic organisms do not rely on oxygen for their energy production, instead they use fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Therefore, they would not have mitochondria.
