Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Glucose and other molecules from food are broken down to release energy in a complex series of
chemical reactions that together are called –

— and other molecules from food are broken down to release — in a complex series of that together are called cellular respiration
Glucose, energy, chemical reactions
is a set of metabolic reactions
and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP,
and then release waste products.
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions
and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert — from – into –,
and then release –
biochemical energy, nutrients, ATP, waste products.
The reactions involved in – are catabolic reactions, which break large
molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.

The reactions involved in respiration are —, which break large
molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.
catabolic reactions
The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break – into smaller ones, — in the process.
large
molecules, releasing energy
These processes require a large number of
— which each perform one specific chemical reaction.
enzymes
The general equation for cellular respiration is:
There are three main stages of cellular respiration:
1) Glycolysis
2) Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
3) Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
splits six-carbon sugars into two molecules of pyruvate
Glycolysis
Glycolysis splits — into two molecules of —
six-carbon sugars, pyruvate
The term glycolysis from the Greek —-
Glycol“sweet” or “sugar,” and lysis, “splitting”)
The term – reflects the
fact that the process involves splitting six-carbon sugars into two molecules of pyruvate, a —
molecule.
glycolysis, three carbon
is frequently referred to as Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas or EMP pathway, in honor
of these pioneer workers i.e Gustave Embden (1874-1933), Otto Meyerhof (1883-1951) and Jacob
Parnas in the field.
