Cell Respiration: Part 3 : Structure of the Mitochondrion Flashcards
1
Q
A Mitochondrion is enclosed by two membranes:
A
An Outer Membrane and inner Cristae that is folded.
2
Q
What occurs in the inner cristae?
A
The electron transport chain.
3
Q
The inner cristae divides the mitochondrion into two inner compartments:
A
Outer compartments and Matrix.
4
Q
What are the two phases of cell respiration?
A
Aerobic (when oxygen is present) and Anaerobic (when oxygen is not present).
5
Q
What happens to glycolysis when Oxygen is not present (Anaerobic)?
A
Glycolysis is followed by alcohol fermentation or Lactic fermentation.
6
Q
What happens to glycolysis when Oxygen is present (Aerobic)?
A
Glycolysis is followed by Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain, and Chemiosmosis.
