@Zale101

OpenStudy (13ziar):

help me do anaerobic

OpenStudy (13ziar):

please

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

anaerobic has got something to do with breathing the equation is glucose >lactic acid (+energy)

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

i dont even know just guessing :)

OpenStudy (13ziar):

please tell me the correct answer

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

we did it last year and that's all i can remember but it is right

OpenStudy (13ziar):

there's something wrong with this computer i am viewing this question but on my screen its showing i am not viewing it

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

its ok

OpenStudy (13ziar):

tell me more about anaerobic respiration

OpenStudy (zaynab123):

to be honest i don't remember anything other than that sorry

This is what I wrote about aerobic respiration: Aerobic Respiration Respiration releases energy for use in life processes. There are two types of respiration, aerobic (uses oxygen) and anaerobic (does not use oxygen). Respiration can produce useful products that have uses in a range of industries. Respiration is the series of chemical reactions that release the energy that cells need to operate. The process takes place in the mitochondria. Definition: Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air, but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

OpenStudy (13ziar):

any thing you could add

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

Aerobic respiration, or cell respiration in the presence of oxygen, uses the end product of glycolysis (pyruvate) in the TCA cycle to produce much more energy currency in the form of ATP than can be obtained from any anaerobic pathway. #google

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

after studing i have come to this conclusion: Aerobic respiration needs oxygen in order to function, and provides energy for animals. Anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen to function, however does not produce as much energy as aerobic respiration.

OpenStudy (13ziar):

thanks

OpenStudy (13ziar):

what's ATP

OpenStudy (13ziar):

?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

a phosphorylated nucleotide

OpenStudy (13ziar):

please explain what that is i dont know anything about it

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

ATP means adenosine triphosphate. It is literally made up of the nitrogenous base adenine, and 3 phosphates. The bonds holding phosphate together are high in energy. They are often described as a spring that is compressed, just waiting to be released. When a phosphate does end up getting disconnected from the molecule, it ends up providing energy for other reactions. The free phosphate attaches itself to a reactant molecule and this process (phosphorylation) energizes the reactants. The molecule the phosphate broke off of is now called ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

OpenStudy (13ziar):

ok thank you

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

no prob. can i have a medal though?

OpenStudy (13ziar):

yes

This is what I wrote about aerobic respiration: Aerobic Respiration Respiration releases energy for use in life processes. - not really, respiration is the process of generating energy that can be used by an organism. There are two types of respiration, aerobic (uses oxygen) and anaerobic (does not use oxygen). - correct Respiration can produce useful products that have uses in a range of industries. - respiration generates energy as i said earlier, and it is indeed not simple reaction to take place but few cycles of reactions that are to take place, and indeed there are products of the reaction that are used for some other purposes, but your focus is just the energy that is in a form of ATP that is produced eventually. Respiration is the series of chemical reactions that release the energy that cells need to operate. - you are repeating yourself. The process takes place in the mitochondria. - if you are referring to aerobic then correct, if you are generalizing it then wrong. Definition: Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen. - kinda correct, but please there is no such thing as releasing happening here, we literally GENERATE/PRODUCE Strictly speaking aerobic means in air, but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. - correct Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. - correct. but you didnt talk as much about anaerobic as aerobic. You need more, for example what is the starting compound and what do you end up with along with produced energy. Equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O correct but you should write anaerobic equation too to show the difference between the two.

OpenStudy (13ziar):

thanks

It was earlier in the thread stated that anaerobic respiration had something to do with lactic acid. This is wrong. Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are the same with the exception of the final electron acceptor. In aerobic respiration it is oxygen, which is very good at accepting electrons. In aerobic respiration the acceptor is not oxygen (there are multiple types). The lactic acid part is not any part of respiration; it is a form of fermentation. Many times students get this wrong, and I have even seen college professors incorrectly group fermentation in anaerobic respiration. They are completely different, though both utilize similar chemicals.

OpenStudy (somy):

Yep, then you end up with energy and for example NH3 or N2 if an organism uses nitrate ions as final electron acceptor

OpenStudy (13ziar):

this is only for aerobic respiration : i've changed it to this:::: Aerobic Respiration Respiration is the process of generating energy that can be used by an organism. There are two types of respiration, aerobic (uses oxygen) and anaerobic (does not use oxygen). Respiration generates energy for useful products that have uses in a range of industries and takes place but few cycles of reactions that are to take place, and there are products of the reaction that are used for some other purposes, but the energy that is in a form of ATP that is produced eventually.

Why are you copy pasting? Use your own wording to write it. Also check the english of your text because it too is important. Grammar i mean
