5. Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
ATP
A
Packet of energy used by the cell. Energy released by the breakdown is used to generate ATP
2
Q
ATP word equation
A
Oxygen + glucose ———> enzymes CO2 + water + energy
3
Q
Uses of ATP
A
- muscle contraction
Cell division
Transmission of nerve impulses
Protein synthesis
4
Q
Aerobic respiration word equation
A
glucose + oxygen —–> carbon dioxide + water
5
Q
stage 1- glycolosis
A
glucose is broken down into pyruvate
This releases energy to produce 2 molecules of ATP
(no oxygen)
6
Q
stage 2: aerobic respiration
A
oxygen is present
pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide and water
this process releases enough energy to produce 36 ATP
7
Q
fermentation in plant/yeast cells
A
glucose + ATP + pyruvate + ethanol + carbon dioxide
