cellular respiration Flashcards
which of the processes of cellular respiration takes in oxygen?
electron transport chain
where does glycolysis take place?
In the cytosol
where does the Krebs cycle take place
in the matrix of mitochondria
where does ETC take place
inner membrane of mitochondria (inner folds)
what are the reactants for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide and water
what are the products for photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
what is the purpose of photosynthesis?
converts energy from sunlight into kinds of energy that can be stored for later use/chemical energy
reactants of cellular respiration
glucose and oxygen
what organisms perform cellular respiration
animals,plants,fungi,protists, and most bacteria
products of cellular respiration
water and carbon dioxide
what is the purpose of cellular respiration
breaks down sugars and other carbs to release the chemical energy and use it to make ATP
stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis, Krebs cycle, ETC
purpose of glycolysis
breakdown glucose molecules into 2 pyruvate molecules
reactants of glycolysis
2 ATP and glucose molecule
products of glycolysis
2 NADH, net 2 ATP (4 produced, 2 invested), 2 pyruvate
steps of glycolysis
2 ATP added to glucose, Glucose splits into 2 3-carbon molecules,
Enzymes rearrange the 3-carbon molecules into pyruvate, Electrons from the two 3-carbon molecules are transferred to NAD+ forming 2 NADH, More reactions convert the two 3-carbon molecules into 2 pyruvates, making 4 ATP
Krebs cycle purpose
Strip molecules of electrons and transfer them to NAD+ and FAD+ to move to the electron transport chain.
location of Krebs cycle
mitochondrial matrix
reactants of Krebs cycle
reactant- acetyl
products of Krebs cycle
products- ATP, NADH, FADH2, Carbon dioxide
what happens before Krebs cycle?
before krebs: pyruvate breaks down into acetyl, carbon dioxide is released (1 per pyruvate) and NADH is produced (1 per pyruvate)
steps of Krebs cycle
Acetyl bonds with coenzyme A, helping it move into krebs cycle
Once in cycle acetyl drops the coenzyme and is added to a 4-carbon molecule forming a 6-carbon molecule (citric acid)
A series of steps breaks down the citric acid, Strips electrons and transfers them to NAD+ to form NADH, FAD+ to form FADH2, Carbon atoms are lost and used to make CO2 and are released
purpose of ETC
Generate a chemiosmotic gradient that is used to synthesize ATP using ATP synthase.
reactants of ETC
Reactants- NADH and FADH2,
