cellular respiration Flashcards
cellular respiration
cells create usable energy in the form of ATP from a series of biochemical reactions, including breakdown of glucose
aerobic cellular respiration
in the presence of oxygen
the three stages of aerobic cellular respiration and their locations
-glycolysis - cytosol
-krebs cycle - matrix
-electron transport chain - cristae
glycolysis
breaking glucose down into pyruvate, releasing energy
inputs of glycolysis
-glucose
-2 adp + pi
-2nadh + 2h
outputs of glycolysis
-2 pyruvate
-2 ATP
- 2 NADH
krebs cycle
generates high energy electron and proton carriers (NADH and FADH2), occurs twice
krebs cycle inputs
-2 acetyl coA
-2 ADP + pi
-6 NAD+ + H
-2 FAD + 4H
krebs cycle outputs
-4CO2
-2 ATP
-6 NADH
-2 FADH2
electron transport chain
majority of atp is made here
etc inputs
-6O2 + 12H+
-26 or 18 adp + 26 or 28 pi
-10 nadh
-2 fadh2
etc outputs
-6 H2O
-26 or 28 atp
-10 NAD+ + 10H+
-2FAD+ + 4H+
anaerobic fermentation
without presence of oxygen. two types
alcohol fermentation
glucose gets converted into pyruvate which gets converted into ethanol and co2. happens in yeasts in the cytosol
alcohol fermentation word equation
glucose -> 2 ethanol + 2CO2 + 2 ATP
