Download Steps in Aerobic Respiration

Steps in Aerobic Respiration

An animal eats food
containing sugar

Mitochondria
enzymes begin the
breakdown of sugar

Energy is released
from glucose in
many small steps.

Energy from glucose
is used to make a
valuable chemical
called ATP

Cells gets rid of
waste: H20 and CO2

ATP is used to
power all of the cells
activities
Steps in Lactic Acid
Fermentation



An animal cell
releases lactic acid
as a waste
An animal burns
sugar without
oxygen
Muscles get sore
(fatigue) if lactic
acid levels go up.

is used to make a
valuable chemical

 An animal runs out
of oxygen and can
no longer do aerobic
respiration
 ATP is used to
power all of the cells
activities

Steps in Making Dannon
Yogurt

Milk is warmed to 80
degrees so that
Lactobacillus bacteria
will multiply rapidly

A special bacterium
(Lactobacillus) is added
to milk

Yogurt is packaged so
no new bacteria can
enter; product is
refrigerated and
delivered

Milk is warmed to 140
degrees for 1 hour,
killing bacteria
(Pasteurization)

Bacteria respire without
oxygen, releasing lactic
acid, which curdles milk

Whole milk is delivered
from cow to yogurt
factory

Steps in Alcohol Fermentation



Yeast runs out of
oxygen and can no
longer do aerobic cell
respiration
Yeast burn sugar without
oxygen
Yeast release alcohol
and CO2 waste



Energy released from
sugar is used to make a
valuable cell chemical,
ATP.
ATP is used to power all
of the cell’s activities
Yeast dies if the
alcohol level reaches
about 12%

Steps in Making Beer or Wine



Water, sugar and
flavorings are added to
an open container
Yeast is added to the
container and the
container is closed
Yeast burns sugar
without oxygen

Energy released from
sugar is used to make a
valuable cell chemical,
ATP.

Yeast release alcohol
and CO2 waste

Yeast dies and is
filtered out of the
container. The
remaining liquid is
aged to improve flavor.
