Q

What are the two laws of Thermodynamics?

A

-First Law- Energy can be transformed between forms but cannot be created or destroyed
- Second Law- All energy transformations increase the entropy of the universe

Q

What is Cellular Respiration?

A

process of Converting the chemical potential energy into from macromolecules

19
Q

What are the two ways ATP is produced?

A

Fermentation(anaerobic Pathways)
Cellular Respiration (aerobic pathway)

20
Q

Explain fermentation

A

-The partial oxidation of molecules without oxygen
-produces limited amounts of ATP

21
Q

What are 2 byproducts of fermentation?

A

-Alcohol
- Lactic Acid

22
Q

Explain Cellular respiration

A
  • Complete oxidation of Molecules in the presence of oxygen
  • Produces lots of ATP
23
Q

What are 2 byproducts of cellular Respiration?

A
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Water (H2O)
24
Q

What is the formula of cellular Respiration?

A

C6H12O6+6O2–> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP+HEAT

25
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

Where electrons are transferred from one atom or ion to another

26
Q

What is Oxidation?

A

Loss of electrons

27
Q

What is reduction?

A

Addition of electrons

28
Q

What is an example of an oxidized molecule ?

A

NAD+ or FAD

29
Q

What are the two forms of redox reaction?

A

Oxidation and Reduction

29
Q

What is an example a reduced molecule ?

A

NADH or FADH2

30
Q

What are the three steps of aerobic Cellular Respiration?

A
  • Glycolysis
    -The Citric Acid/ Karen cycle
    -The electron transport chain
30
Q

What molecule loses electrons during cellular respiration

A

glucose

30
Q

What are the electrons from glucose being used for?

A

They’re used as potential energy to convert ADP into ATP

31
Q

What is happening in glycolysis?

A

Glucose molecules split into two pieces called pyruvate

31
Q

where does glycolysis occur?

A

Cytoplasm

32
Q

what type of process is glycolysis?

A

Anaerobic( does not need oxygen)

33
Q

What does anaerobic mean?

Needs Oxygen

35
Q

What is the first step of glycolysis?

A

Energy Investment phase

36
Q

What occurs in the energy investment phase?

A

glucose is phosphorylated

37
Q

what is phosphorylation?

A

A phosphate group is added to a molecule

38
