ANAEROBIC VS. AEROBIC CELL RESPIRATION

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is a metabolic process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a metabolic process that occurs without oxygen, resulting in the partial breakdown of glucose and producing energy along with byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

What is the main energy molecule produced during aerobic respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the main energy molecule produced during aerobic respiration.

Front

Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?

Back
