Lesson: Anaerobic Respiration Biology

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to recall the reactants and products of anaerobic respiration and compare this process to aerobic respiration.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

state the word and symbol equations for anaerobic respiration (lactic acid fermentation) in animal cells and some bacteria as glucose lactic acid (),
compare the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of products formed, need for oxygen, and relative amounts of energy transferred,
state the word and symbol equations for anaerobic respiration in yeast and plant cells as glucose ethanol + carbon dioxide (),
outline the uses of anaerobic respiration (alcoholic fermentation) in yeast to manufacture bread and alcohol,
describe a simple experiment to demonstrate anaerobic respiration in yeast.
