Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is cellular respiration?
chemical reaction by which organic molecules taken in as food are broken down to make energy available for a cell
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
a molecule that stores energy in the cells
made up of-
adenosine, three phosphate groups
ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
the substance formed when the end phosphate group is removed from a molecule of atp
Glycolysis
the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid, releases energy to form two molecules of ATP
Anerobic and Aerobic respiration
Anerobic- production of lactic acid from glucose, respiration that does not require oxygen
Aerobic respiration- respiration that requires oxygen, occurs in mitochondria
Oxygen dept and recovery
Recovery oxygen- extra oxygen needed to recover after an exercise
Oxygen dept-extra oxygen required to remove lactic acid produced during exercise
Cellular respiration in the cell step 1 glycolosis
anerobic, in cytoplams
-1 glucose is converted into 2 pyruvate and 2nadh
-transported by active transport into mitochondria
pyruvate is oxidized and converted to 2 acetyl coa, carbon dioxide is released and 2nadh is produced
Cellular respiration in the cell step 2 krebs cycle
aerobic, The 2 acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle/Krebs cycle
-carbon dioxide is released, 2 atp, 6 nadh and 2 fadh are produced
Cellular respiration in the cell step 3 electron transport train
aerobicn, electrons are passed between molecules resulting in oxygen forming water and between 30-38 ATP
