cellular respiration Flashcards
what are the steps of cellular respiration?
glycolysis, Krebs cycle, alcoholic fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, electron transport
is oxygen is present, Wich path will the pyruvate molecule go down
aerobic pathway (Krebs cycle)
if oxygen is not present Wich pathway will the pyruvate molecule go down
anaerobic pathway
what is the major goal of cellular repsiration
to make ATP molecules
what does gycolysis do
breaks down glucose into 2 ATP and 2 pyruvate molecules(pyruvic acid)
what is the first step of cellular respiration
glycolysis
what are the products and reactants of cellular respiration
reactants- glucose, o2
products- co2, H20
as you breath what molecules do u release
co2 and h20
what happens if ur body suddelny does a sprint and doesn’t have time to get oxygen to ur muscles
lactic acid fermentation
what is catabolism
breaking down molecules chemical bond energy to make atp
what type of reaction is cellular respiration
exogonic
what is it called when there is a gain of hydrogen atoms
reduction
what is it called when there’s a loss of hydrogen atoms
oxidation
what is glucose metabolized into
co2, h20
what molecule is transfered to o2 to make h20
hydrogen
