| respiration | the process of breaking down food molecules to release energy |
| aerobic | requires oxygen in order to release energy |
| anaerobic | doesn't require oxygen to take place |
| glycolysis | 1 molecule of glycose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid |
| lactic acid fermentation | done when your muscles require more energy than you can produce |
| alcoholic fermentation | forms ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide |
| aerobic respiration | produces 38 or 36 ATP molecules |
| anaerobic respiration | produces 2 ATP molecules |
