1st slides:
Commonly known as the process of inhaling oxygen to exhale
carbon dioxide However carbon dioxide is just a waste product, A more
scientific way of explaining what respiration Is the process of using the
stored energy in the molecular bonds of sugar or fat molecules to
produce the universal energy currency of our body or the adenosine
triphosphate simply ATP. Which is used by our cell to perform daily
activity
Respiration can either be aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic with the
presence of oxygen and anaerobic without the presence of oxygen
2nd Slide
Both of these start with glycolysis or the splitting of six sugar
carbon molecules into 2-3 carbon pyruvate molecules and these
3rd Slide
pyruvate molecules are subject to another series of reaction that use
electron transport chains to generate more ATP. It is this reaction that
requires an electron acceptor whether it is oxygen, sulfate or nitrate.
As we mentioned earlier aerobic respiration uses oxygen to drive its
reaction but what is an oxygen that makes it generate a lot of ATP. Dahil
ang Oxygen is the most efficient electron acceptor because it is highly
electronegative which means that it can pull electron towards it and as it
does that it releases energy so when we eat and when we combine
glucose with oxygen the high energy electron in it will be transferred to
oxygen so that we can release potential energy which will be used to
make ATP. Without oxygen this reaction will not happen which means
that we will not produce enough ATP for our cells and although cells
can extend their lives or performance in the absence of oxygen through
anaerobic reaction, A prolonged absence of oxygen will result the cell’s
malfunction thus we will die
4th slide
On the other hand simpler organism such as yeast and bacteria do not
need as much energy to function without using oxygen and this is called
anaerobic respiration. From glycolysis it will process to anaerobic
pathway or fermentation which can either be LACTIC ACID
FERMENTATION Or ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in animals including humans what
happens with this is you take glucose again and technically pyruvic acid
and is converted into lactic acid plus energy this occurs when the cells
needs energy and there’s just not enough oxygen
The other types is Alcoholic Fermentation occurs in plant and yeast
whenever oxygen is not present the cells takes glucose technically
pyruvic acid and it is converted into ethanol which is a type of alcohol
and then some carbon dioxide and energy this is how many wine and
beer are created.
The other types
To get an idea of how inefficient fermentation is during aerobic 36
ATP’s are produced both per glucose and in anaerobic only 2 ATP’s
are produced so there we go two types of anaerobic fermentation
alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation But they are helpful because it
help to create energy when there’s no oxygen around.
