Cellular Respiration Flashcards
The three steps of Cellular Respiration are?
Glycolysis
Krebs Cycle AKA Citric Acid Cycle
Electron Transport Chain
What is Cellular Respiration?
The converting of stores energy(Glucose) to useable energy
In Cellular Respiration, Glucose is broken down into two molecules of?
Pyruvate
Glycolysis takes place where?
In the cytoplasm
Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?
The Mitochondrial Matrix
Where does the Electron Transport Chain take place?
The inner Mitochondrial Membrane
What is the final electron ACCEPTOR?
Oxygen
Once Oxygen accepts it bonds with?
2 H+’s and 2 e to form H2O
If NO oxygen is available for the final acceptor what happens?
ANAEROBIC respiration takes place
Where does Alcohol Fermentation take place?
In the cytoplasm
Where does Lactic Acid Fermentation take place?
In the cytoplasm
What is produced in Alcohol Fermentation?
Ethyl alcohol and CO2
Alcohol fermentation occurs for what?
Yeast and other organisms
What happens in Lactic Acid Fermentation?
Pyruvic acid to Lactic acid
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in what?
Humans and other organisms
