Cell Respiration And Metabolic Rate Flashcards
What is the cell restoration equation
food+oxygen——-carbon dioxide+water+ATP
What is cell respiration
the specific extraction of energy from food
What is synthesis?
organic building reactions(making proteins, fats, nucleotides, and others)
What do living organisms do
they extract electrons from chemical bonds in food and convert that energy into ATP to run cell activities
What is atp
a special high energy molecule in the cell
What is ADP
low energy molecules
What has more high energy electrons?
ATP has more high energy electrons than ADP That extra electron energy comes from food molecules.
How is ATP known ass
ATP is like a cell battery charged up by food
What is anaerobic
respiration without oxygen present( without air)
What does aerobic respiration mean?
Respiration with oxygen. Aerobic respiration occurs inside the mitochondrion
What is a mother way of calling anaerobic processes
fermentation and is associated with other membranes of the cytoplasm
When are sugar molecules broken down
the sugar molecule is partially broken down during anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration in more context
Aerobic respiration is the efficient process of extraction electron energy from the chemical bonds in organic molecules (food) and converting that energy into the most useful form of energy called ATP to turn cell activities.
Where is oxygen necessary
in aerobic
Which came first in the planet
anaerobic
