Bioenergetics
The equations for respiration, and fermentation
- 3 things to know
- Biology Paper 1
Overview
The word equation and formulae for aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration in muscle producing lactic acid and why it transfers less energy, anaerobic respiration in yeast and plant cells producing ethanol and carbon dioxide, and fermentation in bread and alcoholic drinks.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
State the word equation for aerobic respiration.
Model answer
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.
- 2
Name the two reactants used up in aerobic respiration.
Model answer
Glucose and oxygen.
- 3
Name the two waste products of aerobic respiration.
Model answer
Carbon dioxide and water.
- 4
Give the chemical formulae of the four substances in the aerobic respiration equation.
Model answer
C₆H₁₂O₆, O₂, CO₂ and H₂O.
- 5
State the word equation for anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
Model answer
Glucose → lactic acid.
- 6
Explain why there is no oxygen on the left-hand side of the equation for anaerobic respiration in muscle.
Model answer
Because anaerobic respiration transfers energy from glucose without using any oxygen.
