Module 5—Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Lesson 5—Anaerobic Respiration

 

Get Focused

 

Fart is a funny word. In fact, farts sound funny and smell funny too. Has it ever occurred to you that there is a good reason why people fart? Indeed. The good reason involves the idea that all cells do not always require oxygen. Cells are able to function without oxygen and gain the energy they need from organic compounds.

 

The production of gases and acids through anaerobic respiration has been pursued by industry in many different ways. The food industry uses anaerobic respiration in bread and cheese production, while the wine industry depends on this type of respiration to create its product. How does a knowledge of anaerobic respiration further the growth of different technologies?

 

In this lesson you will explore the following essential questions:

• How far can cellular respiration go without the presence of oxygen?
• How does anaerobic respiration release potential energy from organic compounds?
