Unit 5 - Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Respiration
A
Process by which energy stored in complex organic molecules is released and immediately transferred to ATP
Energy is released through hydrolysis (making new bonds)
2
Q
Why do animals need energy
A
Active transport
Endo/exocytosis
Synthesis of protein
DNA replication
Cell division
Movement
Activation of a chemical (phosphorylation)
3
Q
Catabolic
A
Releasing energy
4
Q
Anabolic
A
Energy consuming
5
Q
Processes in aerobic respiration
A
Glycolysis
Link reaction
Krebs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation
6
Q
Role of ATP in the cell
A
Universal currency of energy
Energy used in metabolic reactions
Energy released in small quantities to prevent cell damage
7
Q
Mitochondrial ribosomes
A
