1. Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration in Yeast Cells
Many prokaryotes and virtually all Eukaryotes phosphorylate ADP either through fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). ... Mitochondria are responsible for converting digested nutrients into the energy-yielding molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the cell's activities. ... When oxygen is not readily available, the process of anaerobic respiration occurs. ... Respiration in the presence of oxygen makes possible the complete oxidation of nutrient compounds into carbon dioxide and water. ... When no oxygen is available, respiration can be performed through fermentation ...
