What kind of respiration takes place in yeast? Write its equation.
Answers
The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + energy (Glucose + Oxygen yields Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy) You may notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the opposite of the equation for photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Anaerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration in yeast
Yeast is used to make alcoholic drinks. When yeast cells are reproducing rapidly during beer or wine production, the oxygen is used up. The yeast has to switch to using anaerobic respiration to ensure it can survive. Ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced
