Bio Terms for Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration, and any other reactions of this type Flashcards
Reactants of Cellular Respiration
Glucose (C6H12O6) + 6 Oxygen
Products of Cellular Respiration
6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water + ATP (usable energy)
Cell Respiration
: is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP
Combustion
Chemical reaction with oxygen to create energy
Anaerobic Cell Respiration
reactions = glucose
(builds muscle fiber)
- evolved first
- low energy yield (2 ATP)
- products - Animals: lactic acid, yeast: Ethanol and Carbon Dioxide
- takes place in cytoplasm
- Stages = Glycolysis and Fermentation
Aerobic Cell Respiration
reactants = glucose and oxygen
(cardiovascular)
- high energy yield (36-38 ATP)
- Products : carbon and water
- takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria
- Stages = Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Krebs Cycle Def.
Produces electron carriers that temporarily store chemical energy
Reactants of Krebs:
- Pyruvate –> acetyl-coa (from link reaction)
3 NAD+
1 FAD+
1 ADP ALL OF THIS x2
Products of Krebs:
3 NADH
1 FADH2
1 ATP
2 CO2 ALL OF THIS x2
Glycolysis Def.
the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid
Reactants of Glycolysis:
2 ATP
2 NAD+
Glucose
2 inorganic compounds
Products of Glycolysis:
2 ATP
2 NADH
2 Pyruvic Acid
