45 NCEA Style Question: Cellular Respiration 46 KEY TERMS AND IDEAS:

1. Aerobic cellular respiration is essential for providing energy (as ATP) for plant and animal cells. ATP can also be generated by anaerobic pathways in some circumstances. Discuss aerobic cellular respiration in plants and animals and contrast it with the anaerobic pathways they use for ATP generation. Describe situations in which each process is used:

Your discussion should include: • the purpose of aerobic cellular respiration • the anaerobic generation of ATP • the raw material(s) for aerobic cellular respiration and anaerobic ATP generation and the final product(s) • the location of these processes in plant and animal cells • the role of enzymes in these processes • situations in which aerobic or anaerobic pathways are used.
