Respiration in plants and micro-organisms

Plants and some micro-organisms, such as yeast, will
also carry out anaerobic respiration if necessary.
Anaerobic respiration might take
place in waterlogged root cells, or in
bacteria infecting deep puncture
wounds.
The products of anaerobic respiration are
different in plants than in animals.

Animals respire aerobically during vigorous exercise.

 Working in groups of 3 or 4 visit each station

Complete your worksheet at each station
Check your answers & add detail as necessary
Leave the guidance for each station with the ?
side up ready for the next group

Use questions 1,2,3,4 and 6 to help you complete the work booklet! You do not
need to write the answers for the other questions.

Look out for the equations for respiration!

Use this information to complete the summary on Aerobic Vs

Anaerobic respiration

Requires Oxygen/ Does not require oxygen

Less energy released/ More energy released

Cytoplasm/ Cytoplasm and Mitochondria
Produces lactic acid in muscles/ Does not produce lactic acid
Production of energy from food in presence of oxygen(sugars,
lipids and proteins)/ Produce energy when oxygen isn't present
