Bio Chapter 6 Flashcards
T/F- All energy comes from the sun
True
Organisms must be able to convert said energy from sunlight into chemical energy, known as
Photosynthesis
What are the 2 main ingredients for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
a chemical process that:
primarily occurs in mitochondria
Harvests energy stored in organic molecules
Uses oxygen
Generates ATP
Cellular Respiration
The main way that chemical energy is harvested from food and converted to ATP is an aerobic or anaerobic process?
Aerobic, which requires oxygen
Occurs when enough oxygen reaches cells to support their energy needs
Aerobic Metabolism
Occurs when the demand for oxygen is greeted than the body’s ability to deliver it
Anaerobic Metabolism
What is a difference between fermentation in human muscles and fermentation in yeast?
In human muscle cells lactic acid is produced, while the yeast produces ethyl alcohol
What stage of cellular respiration takes place in the cytosol?
Glycosis
Which stage of cellular respiration yields the greatest amount of ATP?
Electron Transport Chain
In which stage of cellular respiration is pyruvic acid produced?
Glycosis
T/F- Fats, Glycerol, Protein, and Glucose can be broken down to generate ATP?
True
An organism that utilizes light energy or inorganic compounds to meet their energy requirements
Autotroph
The citric acid cycle is considered a cycle because the last product is-
used in the first reaction to start the cycle over again
A drug that blocks the electron transport chain would probably cause an organism to?
Make insufficient ATP to survive
What do glycolysis and the citric acid cycle have in common?
They both directly produce 2 ATP
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected?
The products of photosynthesis are the reactants in cellular respiration and vice versa
While serving as visiting professor on the planet Freedonia, with infinite resources available to you, you decide to try implanting mitochondria into alien bacterial cells that can perform only glycolysis.
Assuming your experiment is successful, what result would you predict?
An increase in ATP yield per glucose molecule
Fermentation ensures a steady supply of NAD+ for proper glycolytic functioning during periods of low oxygen levels in muscles. What is the role of *** in muscle metabolism?
Fermentation
Difference between the use of the term cellular respiration and respiration in biology is?
Cellular respiration refers only to the breakdown of energy-rich molecules to produce ATP+; respiration can refer to breathing
T/F- Glycolysis requires oxygen to function
False, it does NOT require oxygen
