Aerobic respiration Flashcards
1
Q
What is cell respiration?
A
- Controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP
- Multi step process that occurs when both glucose and oxygen are present
2
Q
What is Aerobic respiration?
A
- Reaction pathways thats require oxygen to break down nutrient molecules
3
Q
Where does Aerobic respiration occur?
A
- Mitochondria (and cytoplasm)
4
Q
Understanding for Aerobic respiration
A
- Requires oxygen and a large yield of ATP from glucose
5
Q
Equation to remember
A
C6 H12 O6 + 6O 2 ———- 6H 2 O + 38ATP
Glucose Oxygen Enzymes Water. Energy

Mitochondria diagram
A
- Outside = outer membrane
- Outside of inner thing = inner membrane
- Matrix & Cytoplasm = inner inner
- Cristae = Edges of inner
7
