CELLULAR RESPIRATION Flashcards
Cellular Respiration
- energy stored in carbohydrates made into energy stored in ATP
- Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Glucose
- energy-storing carbohydrate
- approx 686kcal of energy
- one molecule is more than enough for the process
ATP
- energy-storage molecule
- contains approx. 7.3kcal of energy
ATP Structure
Adenosine Triphosphate
- adenine
- ribose sugar (5- carbon sugar)
- 3 phosphate group
Hydrolysis
removal of a phosphate group from ATP
ATP –> ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
Phosphorylation
addition of a phosphate group to ADP
ADP –> ATP
Covalent Bonds
- Oxygen has a negative charge
- Repel each other
- Repel the electron participating in this bond
- Electron is in a high energy state
What is ATP used for
1 - Chemical Work
A. Catabolism
B. Anabolism
2 - Cell Transport
3 - Mechanical
NAD+/NADH
electron carrier
The equation for Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —–> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 38 ATP + heat
3 Steps of cellular respiration
1) Glycolysis
2) Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)
3) Electron Transport Chain
GLYCOLYSIS
- in cytoplasm
- producing items go into MITOCHONDRIA
- anaerobic process (no O2)
CITRIC ACID CYCLE
- in the mitochondria matrix
- Aerobic process (O2)
ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
- in the inner membrane of mitochondria
- Aerobic process
Glycolysis Equation
C6H12O6 (Glucose) + 2ATP + 2NAD+ ——> 4ATP + 2NADH + 2 Pyruvic acids
