Introduction
What is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration occurs when it takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy.
There are two types of cellular respiration and these include aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration has to have oxygen present in order to function. Anaerobic reapiration is the opposite. It can complete respiration without the presence of oxygen. Throughout this wbebqtuest you will learn more about anaerobic resporation.
Task
Throughout this wbebquest you will be going in depth in the process of anaerobic respiration. You will be exploring through 3 different websites that discuss lactic acid, acholoic fermintation, and the benefits of anaerobic respiraiton. Each website will enrich your knowledge of this crucial proccess.
