Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Is the process of breaking down food to produce ATP (energy currency) in the presence of oxygen
Cellular Respiration
What are the three stages of Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain
Where is glyco and lysis derived from
Glyco = Glucose
Lysis = Breakdown
Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell where molecules of Glucose are broken down into 2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid. Does not require oxygen.
Glycolysis
Occurs in the matrix (space within the inner membrane) of the mitochondria. Involves aerobic (relates to oxygen) process. Pyruvic Acid from Glycolysis enters to form
Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle
Where the final stages of cellular respiration occurs
Mitochondria
Occurs in the folds of the Inner Membrane of the Mitochondria (Cristae). NADH and FADH2 enters this stage
Electron Transport Chain
Process by which energy is released from glucose when oxygen is NOT available
Fermentation
A biological process which converts sugars such as a glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products
Alcohol Fermentation
A biological process which converts sugars such as a glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products
Alcohol Fermentation
A metabolic process by which glucose and other six-carbon sugars are converted into cellular energy and metabolite lactate
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Toward the end of a marathon, a runner notices that she is getting
tired and her legs are cramping. What is the reason for this
