Aerobic Respiration

Question 1

Aerobic respiration

Answer 1

energy releasing pathway that breaks down glucose and uses oxygen as ATP

Question 2

what is the input and output?

Answer 2

input : glucose and 6 oxygen
output : 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules + ATP

Question 4

2 energy releasing pathways

Answer 4

Anaerobic releasing pathway ( starts & ends in cytoplasm) & Aerobic Resperarion (starts in cytoplasm ; ends in mitochondria)

Question 5

Importan parts of mitochondria

Answer 5

Cristae = folds of inner membrane

Matrix= inner core of mitochondria

Question 6

Glucose

Answer 6

C6H12O6 held by covalent bonds

Question 7

3 stages of aerobic respiration

Answer 7

1.) Glycolysis
2.) Krebs Cycle
3.) Oxidative phosphorylation

Question 8

Glycolysis

Answer 8

In cytoplasm, 2 part;
1st, energy requiring; ATO activates glucose and its carbon
2nd, energy releasing; turns glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate, netting (forming) 2 ATP & 2 NADH

Question 9

Second stage

Answer 9

Preparatory reactions & Krebs cycle occurring in matrix

Question 10

Preparatory reactions

Answer 10

Pyruvate (3 carbon) is oxidized into two carbon acetyl-CoA and CO2

NAD+ is reduced

Question 11

Krebs Cycle

Answer 11

acetyl units are oxidized to CO2

NAD+ and FAD are reduced
