Answer 2

Reactants: Glucose, oxygen
Products: Carbon dioxide, Water, ATP

Question 3

What are the steps of cellular respiration?

Answer 3

1. Glycolysis
2. Prep Step
3. Citric Acid Cycle
4. Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 4

What do ATPs consist of?

Answer 4

Adenosine Triphosphate

Question 5

How is ATP formed?

Answer 5

By phosphorylation of ADP with a free phosphate group

Question 6

What is oxidation reaction?

Answer 6

Loss of electrons

Question 7

What is reduction reaction?

Answer 7

Gain of electrons

Question 8

Oxidative Phosphorylation

Answer 8

Coupling of electron transport from the electron carriers and ATP synthesis

Question 9

What is ATP synthase

Answer 9

A power generator that acts like a turbine during ATP synthesis

Question 10

What are the steps to Oxidative Phosphorylation?

Answer 10

Electron Transport Chain
ATP Synthesis

Question 11

Explain Electron Transport Chain

Answer 11

Electrons move down electron transport chain,
energy released is used to pump H+ across membrane

Question 12

Explain ATP Synthesis

Answer 12

H+ flows through ATP synthase enzyme
Energy released used to phosphorylate ADP

Question 13

what is glycolysis?

Answer 13

Metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvic acids

Question 14

What’s the result of Glycolysis

Answer 14

2 ATP and 2 NADH

Question 15

What are the inputs for glycolysis accounting?

Answer 15

1 Glucose
2 ATP
2 NAD+

Question 16

Does anaerobic respiration use oxygen?

Answer 16

No

Question 17

How is ATP produced when anaerobic respiration takes place?

Answer 17

By glycolysis only

Question 18

Is the mitochondria involved during anaerobic respiration?

Answer 18

No

Question 19

Is fermentation Anaerobic or aerobic?

Answer 19

Anaerobic

Question 20

Fermentation regenerates _______ so glycolysis can continue

Answer 20

NAD+

Question 21

Alcohol Fermentation happens when _______ is converted into ethanol and CO2

Answer 21

Pyruvic Acid

Question 22

Lactic Acid fermentation happens when ________is converted into lactic acid

Answer 22
