4 - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
How does energy flow in the biosphere?
Radiant energy becomes chemical energy (aka ATP). ATP is stored in organic compounds’ chains
What is the photosynthetic reaction?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight –> C6H12O6 + 6CO2
Differentiate physical/mechanical digestion and chemical digestion
Physical: break down physically; Chemical: break down into basic structural units
What is metabolism
All chemical reactions in cells
What are the 2 kinds of metabolism
Anabolic (building up) and (catabolic)
Is photosynthesis an anabolic or a catabolic reaction?
Anabolic
Define cellular respiration
Release of energy by breaking down food into simpler substances
What are the stages of cellular respiration
Glycolysis
Acetyl-CoA formation
Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle
Electron Transport Chain
Which stages have substrate-level phosphorylation
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle
Which stage/s have oxidative phosphorylation
ETC
How much net ATP is produced in each stage?
2, 0, 2, 34
Differentiate an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction
Oxidation: loss of H+ & e-; Reduction: gaining of H+ & e-
GEROA - Gains Electrons Reduction Oxidizing Agent
LEORA - Loses Electrons Oxidation Reducing Agent
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
Is glycolysis aerobic/anaerobic
Anaerobic
What basically happens in glycolysis
Glyco-lysis
Glucose (+ other 6-carbon monosaccharides) –> 2 mol pyruvic acid (3-carbon)
What are the 2 phases of glycolysis
Energy investment phase
Energy payoff phase?
