Cellular Resperation Flashcards
What is an Autotroph
are able to produce their own organic molecules through photosynthesis
What is a Heterotroph
live on organic compounds produced by other organisims
what is an oxidation reaction
loss of electrons
What are dehydrogenation reaction
lost electrons are accompanied by hydrogen
Final electron acceptor in Aerobic resperation
final electron acceptor is O2
Final electron acceptor in Anaerobic resperation
final electron acceptor ia an inorganic molecule not O2
fermentation
final electron acceptor is an organic molecule
What is the equation for aerobic resperation
glucose + O2——CO2 and water`
where is Glycolysis happening
the cytoplasam
what are Glycolysis substrates
glucose and O2
what are the products of glycolysis
2 pyruvate
2 net ATP
2 NADH
Where does pyruvate oxidation occur
in route to the mitrocondria
What are the sustrates for pyruvate oxidation
2 PYRUVATE
What are the products of piruvate oxidation per glucose
2 CO2
2 NADH
2 Aectyl-coa
Where does the krebs cycle happen
core of the mitrocondria
