- Q: Explain The Small Yield Of Atp From Anaerobic Respiration
In the absence of oxygen, the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are prevented as oxygen is not available as the final electron acceptor. Hence, only glycolysis can occur, generating 2 molecules of ATP...
- Fermentation
In this picture you can see me doing push ups. If I do a lot of them, my body will create chemical energy more rapidly but less efficiently while surpassing the availability of oxygen. This process is called lactic acid fermentation (type of fermentation)....
- Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis is the processes of converting carbon dioxide and water, using light energy, into glucose and oxygen. Plants, algae, and certain prokaryotes capture about 1% of the energy in the sunlight that reaches Earth and convert it to chemical energy...
- Oxygen (o)
Term: oxygen (O) Origin: Anc Greek ????/oxys(=sharp) + ?????/genos(=generation, produced by) meaning acid-former because oxygen was thought essential in the formation of acids. Coined: In 1778 by French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794)....
- Hydrogen (h)
Term: hydrogen (H) Origin: Anc Greek ????/hydor (=water) + ?????/genos(=generation, produced by) because it forms water when exposed to oxygen. Coined: In 1778 by French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794). Definition: Hydrogen is the...

anoxia
Term: anoxia
Origin: Anc Greek ? or in front of vowel ??-) /an(=prevative prefix meaning without) + 2 letters of the word oxygen [Anc Greek ????/oxys(=sharp) + ?????/genos(=generation, produced by) meaning acid-former because oxygen was thought essential in the formation of acid].
Definition:
Anoxia is a condition characterized by an absence of oxygen supply.
