Cellular Respiration Flashcards
formula for cellular respiration
C6H12O6+6O2–>6CO2+6H2O+ENERGY
where does the energy of life come from?
cellular respiration
the release of chemical energy for cellular use
cellular respiration
cellular respiration takes place in small
steps
cellular respiration occurs in
the mitochondria
what is cellular respiration done by
heterotrophs and autotrophs
two types of cellular respiration
aerobic
anaerobic
type of respiration where oxygen is present
aerobic
type of respiration where no oxygen is present
anaerobic
breakdown of sugar
glycolysis
glycolysis doesn’t require
oxygen
glycolysis takes place in
the cytoplasm
main function of glycolysis
1 C6H12O6 and make 2 pyruvic acids
glucose is phosphorylated by
2 ATP molecules forming a new 6C molecule
6C molecule is very
unstable
