Lab 4: Cellular Respiration Anaerobic Respiration What are the two kinds of anaerobic respiration? What are the byproducts of each type? Aerobic Respiration vs. Anaerobic Respiration What do they have in common? How are they different?
Lab 5: Enzymes and Standard Curve To what extent can changing an enzyme's environment affect its functionality? Experimental design Be able to understand how to use a standard curve to find out an unknown concentration of glucose using absorbance values.
Lab 4
Similarities between aerobic and anaerobic respiration -
Both of them results in The breakdown of sugar
Both of them undertake the process of glycolysis
Both of them result in the formation of ATP molecules
Difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration -
Aerobic respiration | anaerobic respiration | |
Definition | breakdown of sugar in the presence of oxygen | breakdown of sugar in the absence of oxygen |
Location | cytoplasm and mitochondria | cytoplasm |
Steps | glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle and electron transport chain | glycolysis and fermentation |
Purpose | production of ATP molecules which can be used by the cell to perform its metabolic activities | regeneration of NAD+ which can enter aerobic respiration |
#ATP | 30 to 34 | 2 |
Difference between the two types of anaerobic respiration -
Lactic acid fermentation | alcohol fermentation | |
Location | muscle cells, bacteria and yeast | bacteria and yeast |
Products | lactic acid | ethanol and carbon dioxide |
Enzyme | lactate dehydrogenase | alcohol dehydrogenase |
