Cell respiration Flashcards
How many steps carry out the oxidation of glucose and what are they?
2
- glycolysis (step 1)
- Krebs cycle (Step 2)
The first step in the oxidation of glucose is
glycolosis
Where does glycolysis occur and is it anaerobic or aerobic?
occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is
anaerobic
The end product of glycolysis is
pyruvic acid
Where does the second step in cellular respiration occur?
In the mitochondrion and it is the kreb’s cycle
The e Kreb’s cycle (Citric Acid ) takes___ and completes it_____
pyruvic acid
-oxidation to CO2
The Kreb’s cycle occurs in the_____of the mitochondria
-The matrix
The oxidation of glucose generates a high-energy intermediate. What is that intermediate?
NADH
The reduction of oxygen to water uses the intermediate generated from _____ and the ____, NADH. This will produce_____
- Glycolysis
-Kreb’s Cycle
-ATP
Where does the reduction of water occur
- In the cristae of the mitochondria and occurs in the electron of the transport chain
What is ATP generated by?
the creation of a H+ gradient between cristae or inner mitochondrial membrane (cristae) and the outer mitochondrial
membrane.
The chemosmotic hypothesis is used to explain
The generation of ATP from a gradient
