Cell Respiration Flashcards
The chemical equation to cellular respiration is?
C6 H12 O6—-> 6co2 6h2o energy
3 steps of cell respiration are?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
This enzyme removed H atoms to create energy?
Dehydrogenase
Does glycolysis need oxygen.
No
Glucose gets turned into what?? In glycolysis.
2 pyruvates
How many carbons are there in pyruvates?
3
Glycolysis’ products are???
2 ATP and 2 Nadh and 2 3c pyruvates
What does the cell need in order to move into the mitocondria?
Oxygen
After glycolysis, if oxygen is present, what is the next step
Krebs cycle
After glycolysis, if oxygen isn’t present, what is the next step
Fermentation
In the krebs what happends to the pyruvates?
Get converted to acetyl co-A and 1 carbon dioxide is produced per pyruvate
How many co2 are created per glucose molecule?
6
Krebs cycle takes place where in the mitocondria?
Matrix
What’s after the Krebs cycle?
Citric acid cycle
In the citric acid cycle what happends?
2 steps
1) Acetyl co-A is bonded with oxaloacetate to form citric acid.
2) citric acid then is reconverted to create oxaloacetate
