Q

why don’t you become intoxicated from eating bread if yeast uses alcoholic fermentation

A

the ethanol evaporates because of the high temperatures while baking in the oven

16
Q

where do carbon atoms in pyruvic acid end up following the Krebs Cycle

A

they become part of the CO2 molecule and end up in the atmosphere

17
Q

how many total ATP molecules are produced by 1 molecule of glucose completing aerobic cellular respiration

18
Q

what is produced during the Krebs Cycle

A

ATP, NADH, FADH2

19
Q

What molecule is the final electron acceptor at the end of ETC

20
Q

why is water a product of aerobic respiration

A

h+ (hydrogen) atoms are added to oxygen and it joins together to make water

21
Q

what moves across the membrane from the intermembrane space to the matrix causes ATP synthase to spin and make ATP

22
Q

What stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP? How much do each of them produce?

A

***ETC=32
Krebs Cycle=2
Glycolysis=2

23
Q

what happens as electrons pass down the ETC

A
  1. energy from the moving electrons transport H+ ions into the intermembrane space
  2. energy from the H+ ions crossing back into the matrix causes ATP synthase to make ATP
  3. water is produced
24
Q

the process of splitting glucose molecule into 2 pyruvic acid molecules

25
the molecule used by cells to store and transfer energy
ATP
26
a process with oxygen
aerobic
27
without oxygen
anaerobic
28
type of fermentation used by human muscles in low oxygen conditions and microorganisms to make yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi
lactic acid
29
as electrons pass down the electron transport chain, H+ ions build up in the ________ space
inner membrane
30
what cycle breaks down pyruvic acid into CO2 and produces FADH, NADH, and ATP
Krebs cycle
31
the NADH and FADH2 produced during the Krebs cycle pass their electrons down ______ to produce ATP
the electron transport chain
32
the passage of H+ ions through ______ causes it to spin and produce ATP
ATP synthase
33
cell organelle that acts as the cell's power plant to burn glucose and store energy as ATP

34
if O2 is not present, Glycolysis is followed by what
fermentation
35
the carbon atoms in pyruvic acid end up as ____ in the atmosphere following the Krebs cylce
CO2
36
the area inside the *cristae where the krebs cycle happens
matrix
