ATP

Question 1

Respiration?

Answer 1

The breakdown of glucose to gain energy. Glucose comes from the breakdown and digestion of starch.

Question 2

What is aerobic respiration?

Answer 2

Uses oxygen to break down glucose
Energy is released in mitochondria
Long term energy supply

Question 3

What is anaerobic respiration?

Answer 3

Release of energy from glucose due to the lack of oxygen
Occurs when there’s not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.
Short term energy supply

Question 4

What is anaerobic respiration (yeast)?

Answer 4

Yeast respire anaerobically without oxygen and produce alcohol/carbon dioxide.
Fermentation

Question 5

Aerobic formula?

Answer 5

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ energy)Glucose + Oxygen —> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Question 6

Anaerobic formula?

Answer 6

C6H12O6 —> 2C3H6O3 (+ some energy)
Glucose —–> lactic acid + some ATP

Question 7

Negative effects of anaerobic respiration?

Answer 7

Negative effects: Buildup of lactic acid which can slowly poison your body and muscle cramps

Question 8

Anaerobic respiration in yeat formula?

Answer 8

C6H12O6 —-> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 +ATP
Glucose —-> Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy

Question 9

What is ATP?

Answer 9

Adenosine triphosphate is the currency of energy.
Every cell uses ATP for energy.
It transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism.
