Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP.
ATP from cell respiration is immediately available as a source of energy in the cell.
Anaerobic cell respiration gives a small yield of ATP from glucose.
Aerobic cell respiration requires oxygen and gives a large yield of ATP from glucose.
Cell respiration is a controlled release of enzymes from organic compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, in cells in order to create ATP (Phosphate bond yields of high energy).
Glycolysis is the process at which glucose is a 6 carbon molecule broken down by glycolysis into pyruvate (3 carbon molecule). This process occurs in both Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration.
ATP; cells require energy for three main tyes of activity:
-Synthesizing large molecules like DNA, RNA and proteins
-Pumping molecules or ions across membranes by active transport
-Moving things around inside the cell, such as chromosomes, vesicles, or in muscle cells the protein fibres that cause muscle contraction
Aerobic respiration ocurs when there is oxygen present. This process occurs at the bottom of the mitochondria.
-Provides a large amount of ATP (36 or more)
-CO2 (carbon dioxide) is executed through gas exchange
-Water is a waste product recycled in the cell

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in the top part of the mitochondria or the cytoplasm.
-Overall amount of ATP produced s very low
-Yeast (fermentation) produce carbon dioxide and ethanol
*Use of anaerobic cell respiration in yeasts to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide in baking
-Humans and other animals produce lactic acid (lactate)
*Lactate production in humans when anaerobic respiration is used to maximize the power of muscle contractions. Example: weight lifters during the lift, short-distance runners, long-distance runners during a sprint finish.
