Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Purpose
A
- to break down glucose to make ATP
2
Q
Who can do it?
A
- All living things
3
Q
Where do they do it?
A
- Eukaryotes- part 1- cytoplasm, Parts 2 and 3- mitochondria
- Prokaryotes- part 1 and 2- cytoplasm, Part 3- inner membrane
4
Q
Reactants and Products
A
- Reactants
C6H12O6+ 6O2 YEILDS 6CO2+ 6H2O + 36/38 ATP
5
Q
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are linked
A
- The products of one are the reactants of another
6
Q
Parts of Cellular Respiration
A
- Glycolysis
- Krebs Cycle
- ETP
7
Q
Glycolysis Starts and Ends
A
- Start- 1 molecule of glucose
- Ends- 2 ATPs, 2NADH, 2 Pyruvate molecules
8
Q
Krebs Cycle Starts and Ends
A
- Start- 2 Molecules of Pyruvate
- Ends- 2 ATP, 8 NADH, 2 FADH2,6 CO2
9
Q
ETP Starts and Ends
A
- Start- 10 NADH, 2FADH2
- Ends- 32/34 ATP, 6 H20
10
Q
Glycolysis
A
- Evolved 3.8 billion years ago
- Anaerobic
- Produces ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation
