Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Requires oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria, generates many ATP
Aerobic Respiration
Occurs in the cytoplasm in the absence of oxygen - generated much fewer ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
A series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP
Cell respiration
Chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically
Fermentation
site of cellular respiration
Mitochondria
Glucose broken down into pyruvate
Glycolysis
pyruvate broken into CO2 and water
Krebs cycle
Cellular energy is aka
ATP
The biochemical reactions that take place within the cell
Metabolism
What happens to Glucose during cell respiration
It gets “burned” and tuned into ATP
What is the “Energy currency” within a cell
ATP
When cells need energy to do work who breaks the high energy ATP bonds
enzymes
Why do enzymes break high energy ATP bonds
to release energy stored in ATP
What is the cell respiration equation (chemical and words)
C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2 (Oxygen) —> CO2 (Carbon dixiode) + H2O (Water) + ATP (ATP)
Go to slide 6: Wheres the high energy bond?

What is a term used to describe Photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Complementary
What are the 3 cellular respiration steps
- Glycolysis
- Citric acid (krebs cycle)
- Electron transport chain
