Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What Does ATP Stand for?
Adenosine TriPhosphate
What Is ATP?
molecule of energy
What Does a ATP Molecule consist?
- Adenine
- Ribose
- 3 phosphate groups
Who Have Cellular Respiration?
most living things
What is Cellular Respiration?
the process of energy conversion that releases energy (ATP) from food in the presence of oxygen
Formula of Cellular Respiration
C6 H12 06 + 602 —–> 6H20 + 6CO2 + Energy (36 ATP)
(glucose + 6 oxygen —-. 6 water + 6 carbon dioxide + energy)
Where is Cellular Respiration Found?
mitochondria & cytoplasm of cells
When Is Cellular Respiration?
ALL THE TIME!!!!
Why Cellular Respiration?
to release energy from food molecules to use energy consuming activities in the cell.
Types of Cellular Respiration
- Aerobic Respiration
- Anaerobic Respiration
Aerobic Respiration Stages
Stages:
1. Glycolysis
2. Kerb’s Cycle
3. Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Glycolysis (Aerobic Respiration)
- occurs in the cytoplasm
- Does not require O2
Kerb’s Cycle
- citric acid cycle
- occurs in the mitochondria
- requires O2
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
- occurs in the mitochondria
- requires O2
How much energy does Aerobic Respiration produce?
36 ATP
