  • organic compounds or fat are carefully broken down and used to make ATP 
  • Either anearobic (no oxygen) or Aerobic (oxygen)

 

 
Term
The Use of Glucose in Respiration
 Definition
  • glucose broken down into pyruvate in the cytoplasm
  • small amount of ATP also produced
Term

Anaerobic Cell Respiration

 Definition
  • if no oxygen available, pyruvate remains in the cytoplasm and is converted into wate prodct that can be removed from the cell
  • no atp produced 
  • waste product lactate in humans
  • in yeast ethanol and CO2
