Cellular Respiration Flashcards
glycolysis
process that converts glucose to 2 pyruvate and 2 ATP
what happens if oxygen is present?
oxygen- aerobic
no oxygen- anaerobic
3 parts to cellular respiration
glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain
chemical equation for cellular respiration
6CO2+ C6H12O6 —> 6Co2 + 6H2o + ATP
where in the cell does glycolysis occur
cytoplasm
what happens to a glucose molecule during glycolysis
breaks down into 2 pyruvate
what is the purspose of a NAD+ molecule
to be an electron carrier
what are the two types of fermentation?
alcoholic and lactic acid
chemical equation for alcoholic fermentation
pyruvic acid + NADH—-> Alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
chemical formula for lactic acid
pyruvic acid + NADH—> Lactic acid + NAD+
whats the difference between an anaerobic process and an aerobic process?
anaerobic- fermentation, no 02
aerobic- krebs cycle, ETC, O2
where in the cell does the krebs cycle take place?
matrix
write out glucose cycle
ugh
whats produced in alcoholic fermentaton
carbon dioxide gas
purpose of cellular respiration
to make cell energy
