Question

BIOC 200. H.W 4

Draw the glycolysis pathway

Indicate the location for each of the following process

1. Cellular respiration

2. Glycolysis

3. TCA cycle

4. Oxidative phosphorylation

What is the meaning of anaerobic respiration, explain the two process and when it will occurred?

Answer 1

Location for each of the following process:

1. Cellular respiration- Mitochondrial

3. TCA cycle- Mitochondria

4. Oxidative phosphorylation- Mitochondria

Anaerobic respiration:

It is defined as the process in which respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen (partial release of energy).

The two-process in anaerobic respiration include alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.

• Alcoholic fermentation- is the process in which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.
• Lactic acid fermentation- is the process in which sugars are converted into cellular energy and metabolite lactate.

Both Lactic acid fermentation and Alcoholic fermentation occur during anaerobic respiration.
