1.6 Resperation Flashcards
State the word equation for aerobic respiration.
Glucose + Oxygen –> Carbon dioxide + Water
Respiration is defined as
A series of enzyme-controlled reactions which release the chemical energy stored in glucose
What is the energy released from respiration is transferred to?
ATP
State 5 uses for the energy transferred from ATP in the cell
muscle cell contraction, cell division, protein synthesis, transmission of nerve impulses, active transport
In glycolysis, state what one glucose molecule gets broken down into
Two molecules of pyruvate and released enough energy for 2 ATP
State what happens in stage 2 of aerobic respiration
Each pyruvate is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, releasing enough energy to yields a large number of ATP molecules.
How many ATP are produced by fermentation
2 ATP.
What are the products of plant and yeast cell fermentation
The pyruvate molecules are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide
What is the product of pyruvate in animal cell fermentation
The pyruvate molecules are converted to lactate
Where in the cell does respiration begin
The cytoplasm
Where in the cell is fermentation completed
The cytoplasm
Where in the cell is aerobic respiration completed
The mitochondria
What is fermentation?
The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen to release a small amount of energy
State an effect on your body after fermentation.
Muscle fatigue
What is the name of the equipment used to measure the rate of respiration?
Respirometer
