Cellular respiration Flashcards
aerobic harvest food of energy
cellular respiration
cellular respiration is an _____ process
aerobic
what are the 2 gases exchanged during respiration
oxygen & carbon dioxide
exchange of carbon dioxide produced during cellular respiration for atmospheric oxygen
breathing
using oxygen to help harvest energy from glucose and produces carbon dioxide in the process
cellular respiration
what is C6H12O6
glucose
organic molecules are broken down to harvest chemical energy which is stored in the bonds of ATP
cellular respiration
a substance that loses electron is considered as
oxidation
a substance that gains hydrogen atom is considered as
reduction
a substance that loses hydrogen atom is considered as
oxidation
a substance that gains electron is considered as
reduction
the fuel that is being oxidized in cellular respiration
glucose
substance that is being reduced in cellular respiration
oxygen
glucose will undergo oxidation and ____ electron and hydrogen
lose
substance that will gain hydrogen atom
oxygen
products of cellular respiration
carbon dioxide, water, energy
state the product of this process:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ->
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
name 2 electron carriers involved in cellular respiration
NAD+ , FAD+
electron carriers will be ____ in cellular respiration
reduced
NAD+ will be reduced to _____
NADH
FAD+ will be reduced to _____
FADH2
glucose and other organic molecules are broken down in a _____
series of steps
what is meant by the series of steps in cellular respiration
transferring electrons
electrons from organic compound are not _______ to oxygen
transferred directly
electrons are passed to ______ instead of passed directly to oxygen
electron carriers
can NADH be transformed into its original form?
yes
how can NADH be transformed to NAD+ back again?
through oxidation
how to ensure that the electrons can be passed to oxygen through NADH
NADH must pass the electrons so that it can be deoxidized to NAD+
