Overal reaction for Cellular Resperation?
C6H12O6 -> CO2+H2O
4 Main stages of aerobic respiration (in order)?
Glycolysis, The link Reaction, The Krebs cycle, The electron transport chain
Glycolysis means?
Glucose breakdown
As the electrons move down the ETC, energy is slowly released to pump what across the membrane?
Protein
Why do cells carry out cellular reservation?
To produce energy
Where does cellular Resperation take place?
The mitocondria?
Is a mitocondria with folded innermembranes or straight innmembranes better, why?
Folded, more Surface Area means more proteins which means more H+ ions can diffuse across
How is glucose, oxygen, and ADP obtained?
Obtained through eating food, breathed in from atmosphere, found in cells
How to cells perform gloclysis without oxygen?
Fermintaion
How does having oxygen differ from not?
WIth oxygen: go to mitocondira; Krebs cycle; ETC; aerobic Resperation. without oxygen: Fermintation; anaerobic, resperation
