Anaerobic cellular respiration is a type of cellular respiration that does not use oxygen and takes place in the cytoplasm of cells.

Lactic acid is a product of anaerobic cellular respiration in humans which causes muscle cramps.

The cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance inside a cell where chemical reactions of the cell take place.

Aerobic cellular respiration is a type of respiration that requires oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria and cytoplasm of cells.

Anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation in microorganisms

Pupils will learn how producers make glucose using photosynthesis, which is used to make biomass and as a fuel for cellular respiration.

Pupils learned how food is broken down to release useful substances such as sugar.

This unit explores the human gas exchange system, breathing mechanisms, and adaptations for function. It covers aerobic and anaerobic respiration, including fermentation, and compares their processes and implications. Focus is on accuracy, reliable measurements, and SI units.
