Question

Answer 1

Concept:

The breaking of the C-C bonds of complex compounds through oxidation within the cells, leading to the release of a considerable amount of energy is called respiration.
The compounds that are oxidized during this process are known as respiratory substrates.
ATP acts as the energy currency of the cell.
This energy trapped in ATP is utilized in various energy-requiring processes of the organisms.
There are two types of respiration
- Aerobic Respiration- In the Presence of oxygen.
- Anaerobic respiration- In absence of oxygen.
- C6H12O6 → 2C2H5O H + 2CO2 + Energy

Explanation:

Fermentation:

This process does not require oxygen.
Alcohol or wine is formed by the use of fermentation.
It is also used in the manufacture of yogurt, vinegar, and other chemical substances.
The process of fermentation occurs in the presence of micro-organisms.
The fermentation of lactose produces lactic acid.
Which reacts with milk protein and converts it into curd.

Important Points

Respiration is of 2 types:

Aerobic Respiration	Anaerobic Respiration
It takes place in the presence of oxygen.	It takes place in the absence of oxygen.
A complete breakdown of food occurs.	A partial breakdown of food occurs.
The end products are carbon dioxide and water.	The end products may be ethanol and carbon dioxide as found in yeast or lactic acid as seen in animal muscles.
It releases 38 ATP per glucose molecule.	It releases only 2 ATP per glucose molecule.

Thus, anaerobic respiration is also called fermentation.
