Let's take a quick look at cellular respiration. When we hear the term "respiration," what generally springs to mind is probably breathing, but there's a more complex reason for respiration. In fact, it's called cellular respiration, and we'll look at two types. Aerobic and anaerobic. The word aerobic means with oxygen. If you've ever done aerobic exercise, then you probably know that when you do them, you end up breathing a little harder. Most living things undergo aerobic cellular respiration. The purpose of that process is to produce usable energy for cells. What basically happens in this process is that the mitochondria and the cytoplasm of cells, glucose in the presence of oxygen, is converted into carbon dioxide, water and 36 to 38 ATP molecules. These are the high energy molecules that all cells use for available energy. Aerobic cellular respiration is divided into three main parts. Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain. At the end of these three parts of aerobic cellular respiration, we end up with approximately 36 to 38 ATP molecules. 01:26: But what happens if we don't have oxygen? Then we have a process called anaerobic cellular respiration, the prefix "an" means no or without. So you can kinda tell that anaerobic cellular respiration takes place without the presence of oxygen. Some organisms, specifically some bacteria, always undergo anaerobic respiration. And they're responsible for a process we know as fermentation. But what about you? What if your coach sends you out to run five miles after PE, and you're running and you're running, and all of a sudden you get that little pain in your side. You know, that kinda lower part of your side. And you just don't feel like you can take another step and you're gasping for air. Your muscles, specifically the mitochondria in your muscles, are not getting enough oxygen and they're going through anaerobic respiration. Now, they don't wanna stop respiration completely because, remember, all living things need energy. So they go through a shorter process. They only go through glycolysis. And in this case, the glucose is converted into only two ATP molecules. Aerobic respiration, you'll remember, produces 36 to 38 ATP. The purpose of this is to keep that cycle going. So when you slow down and you take bigger breaths and you supply oxygen to those cells you're using while running those five miles, your mitochondria can pick back up into aerobic respiration.

Answer 3

Question 1: The term "aerobic" means "with ____."

Response: B) with oxygen

To answer this question, you need to understand the meaning of the term "aerobic." In the context of cellular respiration, aerobic refers to a process that occurs in the presence of oxygen. So, the correct answer is B) with oxygen.

Question 2: Within a eukaryotic cell, aerobic cellular respiration occurs within the _____.
Response: A) mitochondria

To answer this question, you need to know where aerobic cellular respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells. The mitochondria is the correct answer as it is the organelle responsible for carrying out aerobic respiration.

Question 3: Fermentation is another name for ______ ______.
Response: B) anaerobic respiration

To answer this question, you need to know the alternative name for the process of anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is the correct term used to describe anaerobic respiration.
