Respiration Flashcards
(8 cards)
What is the word equation for respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen ➡️ CO2 + Water + Energy
What are uses of energy in cells?
-Muscle Contraction
-Cell Division
-Protein Synthesis
-Transmission of Nerve Impulses
What is used to create ATP
The chemical energy in glucose
What is the equation for the build up/ break down of ATP?
ATP ↔️ ADP + Pi
(Energy is released and required)
Describe the first stage of Aerobic Respiration
-Occurs in the Cytoplam
-Glucose is broken down into 2x pyruvate
-Enough energy is made to produce 2 ATP
-No oxygen is required
Describe the second stage of Aerobic Respiration
-Occurs in the Mitochondria
-Oxygen is REQUIRED!
-The 2x pyruvate and oxygen are broken down into CO2 and water
-Enough energy is made to produce lots of ATP
What are the products of fermentation in an animal cell?
2x pyruvate (converts into lactate), 2 ATP
What are the products of fermentation in plant and yeast cells?
2x pyruvate, CO2 and ethanol
