AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION

(a)AEROBIC RESPIRATION

  • The respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration.
  • In aerobic respiration, glucose is converted into pyruvate in cytoplasm and then in the presence of oxygen pyruvate is converted into CO2 , Water and energy.

Glycolysis in the presence of O2

Glucose ——————-> Pyruvate ————————–> CO2 + Water + Energy

cytoplasm mitochondria

(b)ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION

  • The respiration takes place in the absence (or deficiency)of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.
  • In anaerobic respiration, glucose is converted into pyruvate in cytoplasm and then in the absence of oxygen pyruvate is converted in
  • Lactic Acid and Energy in Muscle cells.
  • Ethanol, CO2 and energy in Yeast.
