BIG TEST!! 2/20 Flashcards
2 organisms that break down carbohydrates to release energy
autotrophs & heterotrophs
organism that traps and stores sunlight in carbohydrates
autotrophs
the main energy currency of a cell
ATP
cellular respiration:
what cells do to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy
the process that begins cellular respiration and does it have a lot of ATP
glycosis & no
if there is no oxygen in cells, the products of glycosis enter what pathways and yield no additional what?
fermentation and ATP
fermentation is anaerobic or aerobic?
anaerobic (no oxygen)
if oxygen is present in the cell, the glycosis products enter the what pathway?
aerobic
does aerobic respiration make much ATP?
yes
what simple sugar starts glycosis?
glucose
in glycosis, glucose is broken into 2 molecules of what?
pyruvic acid & in the cytoplasm
the part of the cell in which fermentation happens and does it contain oxygen?
cytoplasm & no
2 types of fermentation
lactic acid and alcohol fermentation
lactic acid fermentation makes dairy products and occurs in what during exercise?
muscles
the effect of lactic acid on muscles
makes them sore
yeast carries on what type of fermentation?
alcoholic

7
does anaerobic respiration produce more or less energy than aerobic respiration ?
anaerobic produces less energy than aerobic
aerobic respiration requires what gas?
