Key Stage 3

Meaning

Anaerobic Respiration is the process of releasing stored chemical energy from sugars by breaking them down without Oxygen present.

About Aerobic Respiration

In animal cells and plant cells and bacteria anaerobic respiration produces Lactic Acid.
In yeast anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is Alcohol (Drug).
When bacteria or yeast use anaerobic respiration in food it is called fermentation.

Word Equation

AnaerobicRespirationWordEquation.png
A word equation for anaerobic respiration in animal cells, plant cells and bacteria showing the reactants and products.

Symbol Equation

AnaerobicRespirationBalancedSymbolEquation.png
A balanced symbol equation for anaerobic respiration in animal cells and plant cells and bacteria.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Anaerobic Respiration is the process of releasing stored chemical energy from glucose in the absence of Oxygen.

About Anaerobic Respiration

Aerobic respiration takes place in the muscles when they do not get enough Oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration provides cells with the energy they need for protein synthesis, active transport and movement.
In eukarytotic cells anaerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
In prokaryotic cells anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
In animal cells and plant cells and bacteria anaerobic respiration produces Lactic Acid.
In yeast anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is Alcohol (Drug).
When bacteria or yeast use anaerobic respiration in food it is called fermentation.

Chemical Equations

Anaerobic Respiration: (in humans): Glucose → Lactic Acid

Anaerobic Respiration: (in humans): C6H12O6 → C3H6O3

Anaerobic Respiration: (in yeast): Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide

Anaerobic Respiration: (in yeast): C6H12O6 → CH3CH2OH + CO2

Symbol Equation
