How to Make a Concept Map of the Aerobic & Anaerobic Pathways

A concept map is a type of graphic organizer that can help to display the information of the aerobic and anaerobic pathways more clearly. Aerobic respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy using oxygen. Anaerobic respiration refers to the production of this energy in the absence of oxygen. In order to make a concept map of the aerobic and anaerobic pathways, create an outline, draw the structure for the concept map, and then fill in the information.

      Create an outline of the aerobic pathway. The aerobic pathway involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain, and chemiosmosis. Glycolysis is the process by which pyruvic acid is formed. The Krebs cycle uses the pyruvic acid in order to form ATP, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH). The electron transport chain transfers the protons from the inside to the outside of the mitochondria. Chemiosmosis is when the ATP is produced from the protons, phosphate ions, and ADP.

      Make an outline of the anaerobic pathway. The anaerobic pathway consists of lactic acid fermentation for animal cells, and alcoholic fermantation for plant cells and fungi. The products of lactic acid fermentation are ATP, water, and lactate. The products of alcoholic fermentation are ATP, water, carbon dioxide, and ethanol.

      Draw the structure for the concept map. In order to make a concept map of the aerobic and anaerobic pathways, you should draw the concept map. The concept map consists of circles, lines, and arrows. Each word or idea goes in a separate circle, and the lines with arrows connect the circles. Put one circle at the top, then put two lines with arrows under the circle, and draw one circle at the end of each arrow. Make a column of four lines and arrows, and circles under the circle at the left. Draw two lines with arrows and two circles under the circle at the right. Then, draw one line with an arrow and one circle under each of the circles at the right.

      Put the information in the concept map. In the top circle, write Pathways. In upper left circle, write Aerobic Pathway. Underneath this circle, in the next one, write Glycolysis. In the next circle underneath, write Krebs Cycle. Under this circle, write Electron Transport Chain. In the circle under this, write Chemiosmosis. In the upper right circle, write Anaerobic Pathway. For the outer right circle underneath, write Alcoholic Fermentation, and under this circle, write ATP, water, carbon dioxide, and ethanol. For the inner right circle, write Lactic acid fermentation, and under this circle, write ATP, water, and lactate.
