Respiration Flashcards
(22 cards)
State the equation of aerobic respiration
Anki
Define aerobic respiration
The controlled release of energy from food using oxygen
Describe why respiration is a catabolic reaction
Glucose breaks down Into smaller molecules
Name stage 1 of aerobic respiration
Glycolysis
Does stage 1 require oxygen
No anaerobic process
Where does stage 1 occur
Cytosol
Name the final product of stage 1 in which glucose is broken down into
Pyruvic acid (C3)
Small amounts of energy
Is there a large or small amount of ATP formed in stage 1
Small
Does stage 2 require oxygen
Yes
Where does stage 2 occur
Mitochondria
Name the 6 carbon molecule needed for respiration
Acetyl coenzyme A
Name the 3 carbon molecule that is the end product of stage 1
Pyruvic acid
Name the 2 carbon molecule that is always present at the beginning of the kreb cycle
Oxygen
What molecule is released in the formation of acetyl CoA
Does stage 1 or stage 2 produce larger amounts of energy (ATP)
Stage 3
To name the products of the kerb cycle
CO2
High energy electrons
Protons
Atp
Name the energy carrier that picks up high energy electrons and protons released from the kerb cycle and carries them to the electron transport system
NADH
To name an energy rich compound that links the cycle with the electron transport system
NADH
State the location of the mitochondria where the electron transport system occurs
Inner membran
To name the end product of the electron transport system
Water
Define anaerobic respiration (fermentation)
Controlled release energy from food without the use of oxygen
What is the end products of anaerobic respiration in muscles of animals and bacteria
Lactic acid
