Anaerobic respiration

or the making of energy without oxygen

Whats is anaerobic respiration?

Anaerobic respiration is the methabolic procces in

which oxygen is absen, and
glycolysis is completed.
This procces occurs mostly
it can also be a temporary
oxigen less, condition on the
organisms – even us!
only the stage of
in microorganisms, but
response to anoxic, or
cells of multicellular

 Different between aerobic & anaerobic
Aerobic: Anaerobic:
- Breakdown glucose in the - Breakdown of glucose in the absence
presence of oxygen of oxygen
- Glucose+ O2 gives CO2+ water+ - glucose gives lactid acid + energy
energy - Occurs in cytoplasm only
- Occurs in Cytoplasm to mitochondria - Produced less amount of energy and
- Produced the high amount of 2 ATP realeased at a time
energy and 38 ATP realeased at - Final product: lactic acid (animal cells),
a time carbon dioxide, & ethanol (plant cells)
- Final product: carbon dioxide &
water

How does anaerobic respiration work?

Process of Anaerobic Respiration. Glycolysis is the first

stage of respiration, in which a glucose molecule is
broken down into two pyruvate molecules, releasing
electrons in the process and generating two molecules
of ATP, the energy 'currency' of the cell, and the
desired outcome of respiration

Fermantation & anaerobic respiration:

how cells extract energy from glucose

without oxygen.
In yeast, the anaerobic reaction make
alcohol, while in our muscle, they make
lactic acid.

In fermentation, the moleculs are broke down into 2
moleculs of pyruvic acid, 2 NADH, and 2 ATP are
formed.
But fermentation can’t produce carbon dioxide and
water, and ATP produced is not as large as ATP
produced from glycolysis.
There are 2 primary fermentation processes:
- lactic acid fermentation
- alcohol fermentation

6
Lactic acid fermentation:
Excess lactic acid is carried by the
blood to the liver to be converted back
into pyruvid acid.
Glucose will be broked down into 2
mollecules of pyruvic acid through
glycolysis, forming 2 ATP and 2 NADH,.
NADH is converted back to NAD+
during formation of lactic acid from
pyruvid acid. This Fermentation doesn’t
produce CO2.

7
Alcohol fermentation:
in some microorganisms, energy release event occur
because pyruvid acid is converted to acetic acid and
CO2. acetic acid is converted to alcohol. In this event
NADH is change NAD+. With the formation of
NAD+, glycolysis can occur. Then pyruvid acid is
always available, to be converted to energy. In this
fermentation, ATP (energy) that produced from 1
molleculs is only 2 ATP.
