What the differences between anaerobic respiration in yeast and human

Open in App

Solution

Anaerobic respiration in yeast

Yeast breakdown glucose (food) into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide and release energy

Glucose ----^Glycolysis------Pyruvic acid---^{In absence of oxygen}------2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂+ 2ATP
Fermentation Ethyl alcohol Carbondioxide energy

Anaerobic respiration in Humans

In human muscles the glucose (food) is converted into lactic acid with the release of a small amount of energy.

Glucose ----^Glycolysis------Pyruvic acid---^{In absence of oxygen}------ 2Lactic Acid + 2 ATP
