Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Anaerobic respiration
No oxygen required,2 atp, bacteria yeast and muscle cells( in Mitochondrion )
Aerobic respiration
Oxygen required, creates 36 atp, plants and animals( in cytoplasm )
Glycolysis
Glucose+2 atp, in cytoplasm , creates 4 atp(net gain of 2).
How do we release energy?
Oxidizing glucose and breaking the bonds of atp to create adp
What are the two paths anaerobic respiration can take?
Alcohol fermentation in yeast and lactic acid fermentation in bacteria and muscle cells
What does alcohol fermentation produce ?
Ethyl alcohol and co2
What does lactic acid fermentation do ?
Muscle fatigue
Explain the process of photosynthesis in light dependent and independent reactions
During light dependent reactions the pigment chlorophyll in the stacks of thylakoids called grana absorb light, they also take in water . The produce the oxygen we breathe. During the light dependent reactions the co2 taken in go through the Calvin cycle or carbon fixation cycle where the enzyme rubisco breaks down it and produce sugar or glucose (2pgal) this reaction happens in the stroma
What is the cristae?
The fold of the inner membrane in a Mitochondrion
What is the matrix ?
The liquid part of the inner Mitochondrion
What are the steps of aerobic cellular respiration?
1.glycolysis 2.acetyl coa formation 3.krebs cycle 4.electron transport chain
What is acetyl coa?
Waste product, reduction, in matrix ….pyruvic acid summary
What is the kreb cycle?
Happens in matrix, creates 2 atp, oxidation of organic molecule to co2, acetyl coa enters
What is etc?
Gives 32 ATP, located in cristae,” cash in “ or oxidize all of the co enzymes
What is the final electron acceptor ?
Oxygen, that’s why water vapor appears when you exhale
