BIO 1080 MASTER Flashcards
(ch9) when an atom loses an electron, this is happening
what is Oxidation? (OIL RIG) (LEO GER)
(ch9) Which organisms create their own food, in contrast to these organisms which depend on other organisms for food energy.
Producer : AUTOTROPH creates its own bond energy from photon energy
Consumer : HETEROTROPH ultimately depend on producers for bond energy, consuming producers and/or other consumers of producers
(ch9) In aerobic cellular respiration, the high energy electrons from glucose are ultimately passed to this final electron acceptor…
O2 - oxygen is the final acceptor in AEROBIC cellular respiration
(ch9) All reactions of cellular respiration which involve the transfer of electrons to their FINAL ACCEPTOR, take place in what location?
MITOCHONDRIA
(ch9) When oxygen is limited during heavy exercise, muscle cells revert to fermentation of this organic compound for energy production (anaerobic energy production)
LACTIC ACID
