Question

Make a lengthy note on AEROBIC and ANA-AEROBIC respiration,include equations where necessary and feel free to add pictures. Please never forget my rule, don't give me a guess work and always make researches when you are not sure. Love you all, take your time!!!.Time to see geniuses, don't feel bad if you don't answer because you are still the best.

Answer 1

Answer:

Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration occurs in bacteria.

Aerobic Respiration:

In aerobic respiration,respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and a complete breakdown of glucose takes place in this respiration.It is of following types:

• Obligate aerobic

There must be the presence of oxygen for obligate aerobic respiration.They die in the absence of oxygen.Eg: Bacillus subliles

• Facultative aerobic

In facultative aerobic bacteria,respiration normally takes place by anaerobically but when there is a presence of oxygen they can change into aerobes.Eg: Rhodopseudomonas

Anaerobic Respiration:

In anaerobic respiration,respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and incomplete breakdown of glucose takes place in this process.It is of following types:

• Obligate anaerobic

In obligate anaerobic bacteria, respiration occurs anaerobically and they die in the presence of oxygen.Eg: Clostridium botulinum

• Facultative anaerobic

In facultative anaerobic bacteria, respiration normally takes place by anaerobically but they can change into anaerobes in the absence of oxygen.Eg: Halophiles.

Please see the attached picture.

There is a figure of aerobic respiration in bacteria in first one picture.

There is a figure of anaerobic respiration in bacteria in second one picture.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
