I. Cellular Respiration: Anaerobic
vs. Aerobic
enzymes
glucose 2 CO2 + 2C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2 ATP
Human Muscle Cells, when starved for oxygen as in during vigorous exercise,
can switch to producing ATP by lactic acid fermentation (cause of lactic acid
buildup).

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
• Aerobic respiration at the whole organism level
= process by which gases are exchanged with
the environment.
O2 CO2
II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
• Respiratory Surface (= part of the organism
where O2 diffuses into and CO2 diffuses out of
the organism) must be moist, as gases must be
dissolved in water before they can diffuse in or
out.

In unicellular aquatic
protozoans:
O2 dissolved in
water passes across
the cell membrane
by diffusion, and
CO2 exits.

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
In insects: O2 enters
through small
Spiracles openings in the
body wall (spiracles)
and is carried
through tracheal
tubes to moist cell
membranes, across
which respiratory
exchange occurs.

II. Aerobic Respiration: Whole
Organism
In multicellular terrestrial
flowering plants: O2 (in
H2O) diffuses across the
surface of roots and
stems, and CO2 diffuses
in the opposite direction.
Leaves possess
specialized cells (guard
cells) which open and
close stomates,
regulating gas
exchange.
II. Aerobic Respiration: Cellular
• Cells of most organisms, including plants, carry
out aerobic cellular respiration 24 hours per day.
