Counterargument Class ChallengeClaim: Anaerobic respiration is a valuable process to humansCounterargument: You turn against your argument to challenge it. You first imagine a skeptical reader, or cite an actual source, who might resist your argument by pointing out a problem with your demonstration, e.g. that a different conclusion could be drawn from the same facts, a key assumption is unwarranted, a key term is used unfairly, certain evidence is ignored or played down; one or more disadvantages or practical drawbacks to what you propose; an alternative explanation or proposal that makes more sense.Since aerobic respiration produces 36 more ATP per molecule of glucose, anaerobic respiration is worthless to humans. Responses to Counterargument - turn back to re-affirm your claim—which you announce with a but, yet, however, nevertheless or still—must likewise involve careful reasoning. You may Deny- Tell why the counterargument is not trueReverse- Tell why the counterargument helps your claimMinimize- Agree with the counterargument but say why it is not very importantOutweigh- Agree with the counterargument but argue a supporting warrant is more importantIN THIS RESPONSE: Include a comparison from the table (Evidence) and explain how this comparison demonstrates your response (Reasoning)Aerobic RespirationAnaerobic RespirationOxygen requirement:YesNoSite of reactions:Cytoplasm and mitochondriaCytoplasmStages:GlycolysisKrebs cycleElectron Transport ChainGlycolysisFermentationNet Production of ATP:36 ATP per 1 glucose2 ATP per 1 glucoseConversion?of Pyruvate:Carbon DioxideLactic Acid or AlcoholHow it recycles NADH:Electron Transport ChainFermentationCells that use:most cellsyeast, prokaryotes,?muscle?cellsThe process of aerobic vs anaerobic respirationAnaerobic and aerobic respiration share the initial pathway of glycolysis. In this pathway, glucose is broken into pyruvate and produces 2 net ATP and charges electron carriers (NADH).The sugar molecules stored in the food are broken apart and the energy released is stored by cells in the form of ATP. This process is much more effective in the presence of oxygen through aerobic respiration.Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate energy (ATP). In the Krebs Cycle pyruvate is broken further into carbon dioxide, forming 2 more ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and charging more electron carriers (NADH and FADH2). Then the electron carriers are used in the electron transport chain to produce 32 ATP.Without oxygen, the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain do not occure. The pyruvate enters fermentation. It is converted to waste products (lactic acid in humans, alcohol in yeast) that may be removed from the cell. The electron carriers (NADH) are uncharged so the cell can perform glycolysis again. ................
