Aerobic Respiration

Requires oxygen to release energy from glucose.
Occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
Word equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.
Produces a large amount of energy efficiently.
Used during endurance activities like marathon running or long-distance swimming.

Anaerobic Respiration in Humans

Does not require oxygen; occurs when oxygen levels are low.
Takes place in the cytoplasm of cells.
Word equation: glucose → lactic acid + energy.
Releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
Used during intense exercise (e.g., sprinting, weightlifting) when oxygen supply to muscles is limited.
Build-up of lactic acid causes muscle fatigue and soreness.

Oxygen Debt

After intense exercise, the body must repay the oxygen debt.
Additional oxygen is needed to break down lactic acid and restore muscles.
During recovery, increased breathing and heart rate supply this oxygen.

Anaerobic Respiration in Yeast (Fermentation)

Yeast is a unicellular fungus that can perform fermentation.
Word equation: glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy.
Used in bread making (carbon dioxide makes dough rise) and brewing (ethanol is alcohol in beer/wine).

Comparison of Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration

Aerobic requires oxygen; anaerobic does not.
Aerobic occurs in mitochondria; anaerobic occurs in cytoplasm.
Aerobic produces much more energy than anaerobic.
Aerobic products: carbon dioxide and water; anaerobic products: lactic acid (humans) or ethanol and carbon dioxide (yeast).

Aerobic respiration in a cell showing mitochondria as the site of the process.

Comparison of anaerobic respiration in human muscle cells and yeast.
