#92 ATP yield in aerobic and anaerobic respiration


Only small amounts of ATP are produced when one glucose molecule undergoes anaerobic respiration. This is because only glycolysis is completed. The Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, which produce most ATP do not take place.





The precise number of molecules of ATP produced in aerobic respiratlon of one glucose molecule varies between different organisms and different cells, but is usually between 30 and 32 molecules.

12.2 Respiration

j) distinguish between respiration in aerobic  and anaerobic conditions in mammalian tissue and in yeast cells, contrasting the relative energy released by each  (a detailed account of the total yield of ATP from the aerobic  respiration of glucose is not required)





- Glycolysis
Glycolysis the breakdown of a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules. It is an example of substrate level phosphorylation. It occurs in the cytoplasm, whether in aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Glucose > Glucose-6-phosphate > Fructose-6-phosphate...

- #97 Summary Of Energy And Respiration
1 Organisms must do work to stay alive. The energy input necessary for this work is either light, for photosynthesis, or the chemical potential energy of organic molecules. Work includes anabolic reactions, active transport and movement. Some organisms,...

- # 91 Anaerobic Respiration - Ethanol And Lactate Pathways
Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen. It is used when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration. In the absence of free oxygen: Oxidative phosphorylation cannot take place, as there is nothing to accept...

- #87 Respiration, Glycolysis
Respiration is the oxidation of energy-containing organic molecules. The energy released from this process is used to combine ADP with inorganic phosphate to make ATP. All cells obtain useable energy through respiration. Most cells use carbohydrate,...
