Cell Resperation Flashcards
(82 cards)
what type of organisms trap sunlight and store it in carbohydrates?
photoautrophs
What organisms break down carbohydrates to release energy from cells?
All cells
what is the main energy currency of a cell?
ATP
Define cellular respiration
glucose C6H12O6 + 6O2-> 6CO2+6H2O + Energy (36 ATP)
A biochemical pathway that uses carbohydrates to produce energy
What process begins cellular respiration and does it produce ATP?
glycolysis
2 net ATP
If there are no oxygen in cells, the products of glycolysis enter________
pathways that yield no additional _______
anaerobic or fermentation
ATP
Fermentation is ___________ because no oxygen is used
anaerobic cellular respiration
If oxygen is present in cells the glycolysis enter the ________ respiration pathways
aerobic
Does aerobic respiration produce much ATP
yes 36-38 theoretically
What simple sugar starts glycolysis?
Glucose
In glycolysis, glucose is broken into 2 molecules of ________ acid in the ____— of the cell
- Pyruvate.
- Cytoplasm.
In which part of the cell does fermentation occur? Is oxygen involved?
In the cytoplasm and no oxygen is involved
what are the 2 types of fermentation?
Lactic acid and Ethanol fermentation
What effect does lactic acid have on muscles?
Stiff and sore it also provides evidence of anaerobic respiration
Yeasts carry out what type of fermentation?
Alcohol
What alcohol is made in alcoholic fermentation?
ethanol
Aerobic respiration requires what gas?
Oxygen
How much more ATP does aerobic respiration produce than glycolysis alone?
Glycolysis produces only two ATP and aerobic respiration outside of glycolysis produces 34 ATP
Name and summarize 4 major stages of aerobic respiration.
glycolysis - the splitting sugar
pyruvate oxidation - when oxygen is available pyruvate enters the matrix of the mitochondria and then converts into acetyl CoA
kreb cycle
Converting a four carbon string molecule and combining it with aceta a to reduce NAD+ FAD+ ADP to 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 and 1 ATP her one term of the crib cycle
Electron Transport chain used NADH and FADH2 as electron transporters which allows chemo osmosis to occur and the production of ATP through the ATP synthase.
What is completed in the krebs cycle?
Reduction of both NADH and FADH2 as well as the release of CO2 and water as well as the reduction of the NAD and FAD across the concentration gradient in the age of basic days
The energy carrier NAD+ is reduced to what substance
NADH
Which part of aerobic respiration makes most of the ATP ( cells energy )?
where do these reactions take place in the cell
electron transport chain
Anaerobic is glycolysis in the cytoplasm and aerobic is in the Krebs cycle and electron transport train
What is the mitochondrial matrix and what product of glycolysis diffuse into this matrix
The mitochondrial matrix is a fluid filled area ofthe mitochondrial interior into which pyruvateis passively transported by diffuse
what is found inside the mitochondria matrix to help catalyze reactions of the Krebs cycle
Enzymes involved with curb cycle
