Q

What are the two laws of Thermodynamics?

A

-First Law- Energy can be transformed between forms but cannot be created or destroyed
- Second Law- All energy transformations increase the entropy of the universe

Q

What are the two ways ATP is produced?

A

Fermentation(anaerobic Pathways)
Cellular Respiration (aerobic pathway)

20
Q

Explain fermentation

A

-The partial oxidation of molecules without oxygen
-produces limited amounts of ATP

21
Q

What are 2 byproducts of fermentation?

A

-Alcohol
- Lactic Acid

22
Q

Explain Cellular respiration

A
  • Complete oxidation of Molecules in the presence of oxygen
  • Produces lots of ATP
23
Q

What are 2 byproducts of cellular Respiration?

A
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Water (H2O)
24
Q

What is the formula of cellular Respiration?

A

C6H12O6+6O2–> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP+HEAT

25
What is a redox reaction?
Where electrons are transferred from one atom or ion to another

What is Oxidation?
Loss of electrons
27
What is reduction?
Addition of electrons
28
What is an example of an oxidized molecule ?
NAD+ or FAD
29
What are the two forms of redox reaction?
Oxidation and Reduction
29
What is an example a reduced molecule ?

30
What are the three steps of aerobic Cellular Respiration?
- Glycolysis -The Citric Acid/ Karen cycle -The electron transport chain
30
What molecule loses electrons during cellular respiration
glucose
30
What are the electrons from glucose being used for?
They're used as potential energy to convert ADP into ATP
31
What is happening in glycolysis?
Glucose molecules split into two pieces called pyruvate
31
where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
32
what type of process is glycolysis?
Anaerobic( does not need oxygen)
33
What does anaerobic mean?
Does not need oxygen
34
What does aerobic mean?
Needs Oxygen
35
What is the first step of glycolysis?
Energy Investment phase
36
What occurs in the energy investment phase?
glucose is phosphorylated
37
what is phosphorylation?
A phosphate group is added to a molecule
38
What is the second step in glycolysis?
Cleavage Phase
