Cellular Respiration Flashcards
cellular respiration is a coupled
reaction with ATP synthesis
cellular respiration involves breaking down
glucose
during cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized
slowly
cellular respiration begins with
glycolysis
glycolysis is the
breakdown of glucose
glycolysis occurs in the
cytoplasm
glycolysis reactants
glucose, 2 NAD+, 2ADP+P
glycolysis products
2 pyruvates, 2 ATP, 2 NADH
two types of cellular respiration are
aerobic and anaerobic respiration
aerobic respiration occurs
in the presence of oxygen
link reaction creates
acetyl CoA
the krebs cycle releases
2 ATP
The Electron Transport Chain is located
in the inner membrance of the mitochondria
proteins pump H+ ions
against the concentration gradient
H+ ions naturally diffuse
back to low concentration
