Cellular Respiration
Aerobic cellular respiration is a process in which our cells get energy in the form of ATP. This process has 3 major steps in order to function properly. These steps are Glycolysis, Citric Acid or Krebs Cycle, and the electric transport state. These steps each have an important role in our cells respiration cycle.
The first step in the cycle is called Glycolysis. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol or cytoplasm of a cell. For Glycolysis to start it needs Glucose the main chemical in Glycolysis. At the start Glucose is put in and after the Glycolysis process takes place 2 molecules of pyruvic acid come out. Along with 2 ATP and 2 NADH. After this process is complete the second stage …show more content…
Aerobic respiration. Anaerobic and Aerobic respiration both do the same thing. Producing ATP for energy. However, there is one major difference between these two. That difference is that one uses Oxygen in order to produce the ATP while the other does not. Aerobic cellular respiration is the form that does use oxygen in its’ respiration process. It uses the oxygen to react with sugar or Glucose. This reaction creates Carbon, Water, and Energy (ATP). Anaerobic is the one that does not use oxygen. It breaks the cells glucose into lactic acid (C3H6O3) and energy (ATP). This process releases less energy than aerobic respiration. Anaerobic only occurs when a sufficient source of oxygen is lacking so in other words, only when Aerobic cannot occur. Because one of these uses oxygen and the other does not their chemical equations are different. Aerobics’ equation is- C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 2900 KJ (ATP). Whereas Anaerobics’ equation is- C6H12O6 → 2 C3H6O3 + Energy (ATP). One major advantage of Aerobic respiration is that it produces far more ATP than Anaerobic. However, Anaerobic can produce energy in situations where oxygen is lacking which is a big advantage as well. Some disadvantages are that Aerobic requires oxygen and Anaerobic produces lactic
