Explain two steps that have to occur to release energy from glycogen

during aerobic respiration

- Break down glycogen to glucose to be used in cell respiration
- Break down glucose to pyruvate to enter Kerbs cycle
- Break down pyruvate to carbon dioxide and water in the mitochondrion

Distinguish between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration

Requires Oxygen Does not require Oxygen

In cytoplasm and mitochondrion In cytoplasm

High yield of ATP Low yield of ATP

Products are CO2 and H2O Products: CO2 and ethanol(plants), lactate(humans)

Can use fats, proteins or sugars Only sugars

Involves Kerbs cycle Does not involve Kerbs cycle

Involves electron transport chain Does not involve electron transport chain

High yield of NADH Low yield of NADH
