Why is cellular respiration called an aerobic process
it is called an aerobic process because it requires oxygen to take place

What is the importance of fermentation
Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue
-
What is the function of fermentation
It removes electrons from NADH molecules and recycles NAD+ molecules for glycolysis
-
When does fermentation take place in your muscle cells
When your muscles contract
-
Wy is fermentation an anaerobic process
Because it doesn't require oxygen to take place
-
How is fermentation involved in the process of ATP
It allows glycolysis to produce ATP and removes waste
-

They both don't require oxygen, start the same, and the recycling of the ATP

Overview of 4.1
All cells need chemical energy. ATP is the primary source of energy in all cells. ATP transfers energy for cell processes such as building new molecules and transporting materials.
-
Overview of 4.2
The overall process of photosynthesis produces sugars that store chemical energy. Photosynthesis uses energy captured from sunlight to change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars. Sunlight is absorbed during the light dependent reactions, and sugars are made during the light independent reactions
-
Overview of 4.3
Photosynthesis requires a series of chemical reactions. Energy from sunlight is absorbed in the thylakoid membrane by photosystems II and I in the light dependent reactions. The energy is transferred to the Calvin cycle, which builds sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.
-
Overview of 4.4
The overall process of cellular respiration converts sugar into ATP using oxygen. Glycolysis splits glucose and when oxygen is present the products of glycolysis are used in cellular respiration. The Krebs cycle transfers energy to the electron transport chain, which produces most of the ATP in eukaryotic cells.
-
Overview of 4.5
Cellular respiration is an aerobic process with two main stages. The Krebs cycle breaks down carbon based molecules and transfers energy to electron carriers. The electron carriers provide energy to the electron transport chain. ATP is produced by the electron transport chain when hydrogen ions flow through ATP synthase.
-
Overview of 4.6
Fermentation allows the production of a small amount of ATP without oxygen. Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue producing ATP when oxygen is unavailable. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in many cells, including human muscle cells.
