Biological energy production systems
Anaerobic (homolactic acid fermentation)

• type: non-oxidative
• name: glycolysis (homolactic acid fermentation)
• fuel: 1 molecule of glucose
• pH: acid generating
• waste: 2 molecules of lactic acid
• yield: 2 ATP

Anaerobic (heterolactic acid fermentation)

• type: non-oxidative
• name: glycolysis (heterolocatic acid fermentation)
• fuel: 1 molecule of glucose
• pH: acid generating
• waste: 1 lactic acid + 1 ethanol
• yield: 2 ATP

• type: oxidative
• name: oxidative phosphorylation
• fuel: glucose or fatty acids
• pH: acid generating
• waste: carbon dioxide
• yield: up to 38 ATP
