Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Cellular respiration is the ___ of photosynthesis
Opposite
Photosynthesis is making glucose ,while cellular respiration is _____ glucose
Breaking
Where does cellular respiration occur ?
Mostly in he mitochondria,but glycolysis occurs on the Cytoplasm
What is the formula for cellular respiration ?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 +6H2O + ATP
( Glocose + oxygen ) yields ( carbon dioxide + water + ATP)
Cellular respiration converts glucose into
ATP
What are the four parts of he mitochondria?
- outer membrane
-inner membrane - cristae (the folds )
-matrix ( the empty space )
What is step 1 in cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Glycolysis occurs in
The cytoplasm
What happens in glycolysis ?
- glucose is spilt into half into 2 pyruvic acids and energy is released
- NADH is produced (goes into etc)
- 4 ATP are produced ,but need 2 to get process started,so we saw it has a 2 Net ATP
What energy storing molecule goes into the etc
NADH
What are the products of glycolysis ?
-2 pyruvate acids
- 2 NADH
- 2 Net ATP
Where pyruvic acids goes depends on
Whether or not oxygen is present
When O2 is present, pyruvate goes into
Aerobic Respiration which takes place in he mitochondria
When O2 is NOT present , pyruvate goes into
Anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm
