Biology - Respiration
The following represent two processes of energy production. The letters X and Y represent two products:
Process 1: Glucose → Pyruvic Acid → Carbon Dioxide + X + 38 ATP - Happens with Oxygen Process 2 Glucose → Pyruvic Acid → Carbon Dioxide + Y + 2 ATP - Happens without Oxygen Questions: a) Name process 1 and 2 as well as the substance X and Y b) Name the living organisms that conduct each of the processes c) Explain what would happen to an organism that performs the first process as he climbed a mountain, where there's less air: My attempts: a) Process 1 would be Aerobic Respiration while process 2 would be anaerobic respiration (or fermentation?), but I don't know if I have to go into further detail (any clues?) X would therefore be water while Y would be Ethanol b) Process 1 - Us, humans Process 2: Deep soil bacteria c) In such scenario, the organism would suffer from a lack of oxygen supply hence, having to switch to anaerobic respiration.
