the lactate
1. iha
State the total number of ATP molecules produced from both aerobic and anaerobic :
r
2. Oxygen is absent , which act as a final electron acceptor
ab
So ETC doesnt take place
Where most of the ATP produced in oxidative phosphorylation under aerobic conditions
3. Pyruvate is converted ( reduced ) into lactate which is energy rich
Some reduced NAD is used to reduce pyruvate to lactate rather than entering ETC .
lG
If a runner starts long distance event at a fast speed , then he will have
to slow down to speed that is supported by aerobic respiration, why?
iha
[Link] one can tolerate the high concentration of lactate that will be produced from anaerobic respiration when
running ata fast speed .
2. No enough glycogen stored in body to provide the glucose for such s Long time .
3. Fats can only be respired aerobically

Why Oxygen consumption after exercise increase? to repay the oxygen debt
The volume of oxygen absorbed by the body to metabolise the lactate produced from anaerobic respiration in
Dr
muscles .
Where it is responsible for the conversion of lactate into pyruvate (in a reaction catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase ) .
Then pyruvate is respired aerobically into CO2 and water

r
3. Where its resposnible for the conversion of lactate into pyruvate.

r
Folded forming cristae to increase surface area
ab
A) contain ATP synthase ( for oxidative phosphorylation)
B) site of ETC
Involves pumping of Hydrogen ions / protons into inter membrane space

• The remaining organic part is converted into pyruvate or acetyl Co A …depending on the R groups
Dr
r
3. More electrons pass along ETC
ab
4. More hydrogen ions pumped out into inter membrane spaces
5. So steeper a steeper proton gradient
6 . So more ATP produced per unit mass
