Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What do animals need energy for?
Synthesis
Reproduction
Active Transport
Movement
Temperature Control
Energy is stored in what?
Organic molecules
What do Animals digest food for?
fuels for energy ATP
raw materials for building more molecules
What is cellular respiration?
breaking down food to produce ATP
Where does Cellular respiration happen?
In the mitochondria
What does cellular Respiration need?
Mitochondria and fuel (Food)
What helps Cellular Respiration?
Oxygen and Enzymes
What is combustion?
The making of heat energy by burning fuels in one step
What is respiration?
The making of ATP energy (& some heat) by burning fuels in many small steps
Why can’t you store ATP?
-too unstable
-only used in the cell that produces it
-only short-term energy storage
What is the synthesis of ATP used for?
Growth and reproduction
What is the storage of ATP used for?
Glycogen and fat
What happens when you don’t have oxygen?
You can’t complete aerobic respiration
What is an example of Cellular respiration without oxygen?
Alcohol fermentation
lactic acid fermentation
What is the chemical formula for alcohol fermentation?
Glucose > ATP + CO2 + alcohol
