1. Anaerobic Respiration

2. Fermentation: the anaerobic respiration that follows glycolysis
ATP is made in the absence of oxygen
Occurs in the cytoplasm of cells

3. Occurs in some prokaryotes
They grow and reproduce without oxygen

4. Another form can occur in certain eukaryote cells

5. Two Main Types of Fermentation:
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Alcohol Fermentation

6. Lactic Acid Fermentation
Enzymes convert the pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into lactic acid (a different molecule)
Muscle cells produce lactic acid when the lungs and blood stream cannot keep up with the muscles’ need for ATP

7. Causes the burn and fatigue that you feel while working out

8. Lactic Acid
Some microorganisms produce lactic acid that is used in making dairy products

9. Alcohol Fermentation
Pyruvic acid is converted to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide
This occurs in yeast and some bacteria
Used for making bread and some forms of alcohol
