Cellular respiration (3.3) Flashcards
It is the process by which organisms use
energy from “food” (e.g., glucose, fatty acids)
to fuel the endergonic synthesis of ATP.
Cellular respiration
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 –> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP
cellular respiration takes
place in ____
mitochondria
• initial break down of glucose
Glycolysis
• completes the break
down of glucose
Citric Acid Cycle
• ____electron transport to
generate H+ gradient
• ____ to
produce ATP!
Oxidative Phosphorylation
chemiosmosis
A series of chemical reactions to break down glucose
into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules
Glycolysis
Glycolysis occurs in the ___, does NOT require ___
cytoplasm; O2
What are the product of glycolysis?
2 ATP
2 NADH
2 pyruvate
Instead of moving on to the Citric Acid Cycle, pyruvate
will undergo ___ when there’s not enough O2
fermentation
fermentation produces ____ (animals), ___ (yeast)
lactic acid; ethanol
The Citric Acid Cycle occurs in
the ___
mitochondrial “Matrix”
Products of citric acid cycle
2 ATP
8 NADH
2 FADH2
series of chemical reactions that finish the break down
of glucose
• 3-C pyruvate from glycolysis broken down to 3 CO2
Citric Acid Cycle
” refers to the addition
of a 3rd phosphate to make ATP (“phosphorylation”)
by a process that depends on oxidation-reduction
reactions (“oxidative”), and occurs in 2 stages
