ATP and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
(35 cards)
What is ATP
Energy Currency
Where is ATP founded
Mitochondria in the cell
Is glucose a important fuel to ATP
Yes
What is the primary … in ATP
Primary energy - transferring cell
What is ATP made up of
Ribose sugar, Nitrogenous base Adenine, 3 Phosphate
How does ADP become?
Same structure as ATP, however the 3 phosphate is changed to 2 phosphate
What is used by the cell to power activities
ATP Hydrolysis - Phosphorylated molecules temporarily become more energic
What phase is used for ADP
ATP regeneration
ADP is used to regenerate what through the process of what
ATP, cellular respiration
What is Aerobic
Oxygen is consumed as reactant along with the organic fuel
What is cellular respiration
metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce ATP an organic compound the body can use energy
what is the most efficient catabolic pathway
Aerobic
what is anaerobic
Harvesting chemical reaction without Oxygen
What does cellular respiration use
Aerobic and Anaerobic
What fuel is needed for respiration
Food
What is the waste product of respiration
Carbon dioxide and water = waste
what can be consumed as fuel
Carbohydrates, fats and protein
What does cellular respiration focus on in the book
Aerobic
Breakdown of glucose is called what
Exergonic
what does this stand for /\G ?
Amount of energy released into the conversion of reactants of products
what does negative /\G stand for ?
Products store less energy than the reactants.
What reaction can happen spontaneously ?
negative /\G
What is catabolism
Process of transferring fuels ( glucose to ATP )
Oxidation-reduction reactions are also known as what
Electron transfers
