Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What does aerobic mean?
needs oxygen to release energy into food
What does anaerobic mean?
can release the energy of food without oxygen
What is anaerobic respiration aka?
fermentation
Where does alcoholic fermentation occur?
In yeast
What is first step in cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What happens during glycolysis?
Glucose (6c) broken into pyruvic acid
How much ATP does it take to split Glucose?
2 ATP
How much ATP does glycolysis produce?
4 ATP
What else does glycolysis produce besides ATP?
NAD+ to NADH
Formula for alcoholic fermentation?
Alchol + CO2 + NAD + (yeast) = alcholic fermenartion
Formula for lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic acid + NAD + (many bacteria) + animals like us = lactic acid fermentation
T or F, fermenation regenerates NAD+
TRUE
What is Krebs Cycle aka?
The Citric Acid Cycle
Where does fermenation occur?
v
WHat happens in the Krebs Cycle?
the 2 pyruvic acids are broken, releasing CO2 and 2 ATP’s, (one from each pyruv)
