Without oxygen, the products can differ - Paper 3

Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.

Read before answering

Anaerobic model: human muscle. Human muscle produces lactate (often called lactic acid in word summaries); yeast fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Neither stated process uses oxygen as a reactant, and each transfers less energy per glucose than aerobic respiration. Claim to assess: 'Anaerobic and aerobic processes transfer equal energy per glucose in this comparison.' Paper exercise only; do not perform fermentation experiments.

  1. Name the stated products for human muscle, and explain why 'ethanol and oxygen' is not the appropriate answer on this card.
  2. Evaluate this claim: 'Anaerobic and aerobic processes transfer equal energy per glucose in this comparison.'
  3. For this human muscle model, distinguish 'without oxygen as a reactant' from 'without energy transfer'.
