Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is cellular respiration
The release of energy from fuel molecules
What is aerobic respiration
Needs oxygen and most efficient
What is the formula for aerobic respiration
Glucose and 02 to co2 and h20 and atp
Where does aerobic respiration take place
The mitcochondria and cytoplasm
What are the 3 stages of aerobic respiration
Glycolysis
Kerbs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation
What is the lint of glycolysis and what are the products needed to do it
Access hydrogen
Needs glucose
ATP (to make unstable)
Breaks into 2 for pyruvic acids
What is the function of the Krebs cycle and what is needed
To harvest the hydrogen
Needs 2 pyruvic acids
Oxygen and combines 2c and 4c
To break down to access 2 hydrogen
What is the purpose of oxidative phosphorylation and what is needed
To make ATP
Hydrogen is passed along to NAD
Adds p to ADP
Then joins with 02 to form water
Oxidation
Where a hydrogen is removed form a substrate
