Cell Processes and Functions Flashcards
What are the two different kinds of fermentation?
Lactic Acid fermentation and Alcohol fermentation
What organisms use Lactic Acid fermentation?
animals and some bacteria
What organisms use Alcohol fermentation?
Plants, yeast, and some bacteria
Where in the cell does fermentation/anaerobic respiration take place?
Cytoplasm
Define fermentation/anaerobic respiration
Creating energy without using oxygen
Define Aerobic respiration
Creating energy with the use of oxygen
How much ATP is produced during Aerobic respiration?
36 ATP
How much ATP is produced during anaerobic respiration?
2 ATP
What are the inputs of aerobic respiration?
Glucose (sugar), O2
What are the outputs of aerobic respiration?
Water, CO2, and ATP
What living things perform Aerobic respiration?
all living things
What’s the balanced equation for Aerobic respiration?
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 –> 6 H 2 O + ATP
What is matter?
Anything that takes up space
What is energy?
Useable power
What’s the balanced equation for Lactic Fermentation?
C 6 H 12 O 6 –> Energy + C 3 H 12 O 3
What’s the balanced equation for Alcohol Fermentation?
C 6 H 12 O 6 –> Energy + CO2 + Ethanol
What living things perform photosynthesis?
Plants
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
Water (H2O), CO2
What are the outputs of photosynthesis?
Glucose, O2
Define Reactant
A substance taking part of a chemical reaction
What’s the balanced equation for photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 6 H 2 O + sunlight –> C 6 + C 6 H 12 O 6
Define Products
a substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction
Define autotroph
an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals
Define Heterotroph
an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients
