Anaerobic Energy Production Blake Burchett

Anaerobic Energy/Fermentation Production

Visual Aspects:














Main Idea/Information:
• The 2 types of fermantations are latic acid and aolcholic fermanitation.
• High energy phosphates are stored in limited quantities within muscle cells
• Anaerobic Energy means energy without air or oxygen. An means without and aerobic means air.

What I learned While Researching:
While I conducted my research about Anaerobic Energy I learned that Anaerobic Energy is a types of respiration where oxygen is not used, instead, organic or inorganic molecules are used as final electron acceptors. Also fermentation includes processes that use an organic molecule to regenerate NAD+ from NADH. One big thing that I learned while researching was that all forms of fermentation expect for lactic acid produce gas, which plays a big role in the identification of bacteria. The last interesting thing I learned while researching is that some types of prokaryotes are facultatively anaerobic, which means that they can switch between aerobic respiration and fermentation, depending on the availability of oxygen.  I enjoyed researching and learning about Anaerobic Energy because it helped me understand where my body gets a lot of its energy and it's amazing  how we can produce it ourselves. There are many ways you use Anaerobic Energy while out of biology cause you need energy to to walk and move around, use your muscles and you need Anaerobic Energy to basically live because it plays a gigantic role in life.

  3. It uses rebox reactions!!
    Electrons carry energy from one molecule to another
    NAD+ is an electron carrier
    NAD+ accepts two electrons and one proton to become NADH
