Cellular Respiration Flashcards
sources of energy stored in the human body
glycogen (carbs), fatas, muscle tissue (protein)
purpose of cellular respiration
to convert stored energy in organic fuel to ATP
overall goal of cellular respiration
to transfer the energy in the bonds of organic molecules to a usable form of energy recognized by all cells (ATP)
Overall reaction of cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
36 ADP + 36 P -> 36 ATP (or 38)
types of cellular respiration + differentiate them
- aerobic - in presence of oxygen
- anaurobic - in absence of oxygen
describe the main steps in aerobic respiration
- glycolysis
- pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle
- ETC, oxidative phosphorylation
list the main steps of anaerobic cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- alchoholic fermentation (yeast)
- lactic acid fermentations (humans)
describe overview of glycolosis
breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate
what is the oxygen requirement for glycolosis
does NOT require O2 in the cytoplasm
describe the overview of oxidatice decarboxylation
pyruvate oxidation
describe the overview of Krebs/ citric acid cycle
completes the breakdown of glucose
reason for the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
to generate ATP
what steps of the 4 main stages of cellular respiration require )2 in the mitochondria
oxidative decarboxylation, Krebs /citric acid cycle, electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
what are the two majoy phases in glycolysis
energy investment phase (steps 1-5) and the nergy payoff phase (steps 6-10)
step 1 of glycolysis + reaction type, enzyme, and energy
carbon 6 on glucose is phosphorylated using ATP to prevent glucose from elacing the cell
reaction type: phorphorylation
enzyme: kinase
energy: absorbed
