1
Q

both produce ___ATP by ______

A

2

substrate level phosphorylation

2
Q

what differentiates them

A

oxygen

  • oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle
  • Oxygen as last electron acceptor in ETC
3
Q

obligate anaerobes

A

only carry out fermentation/anaerobic respiration

-cannot survive when there is O2

4
Q

facultative anaerobes

A

after they make pyruvate, they can either
-make acetyl COA and continue oxidation in the citric acid cycle

or they can

-transfer electrons from NADH to make NAD+ (fermentation)
