Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What do each of these formulas represent
Glucose+ Oxygen———-> carbon dioxide + water + ATP
What is the generalized equation for cellular respiration
C6 H12 O6+ 6O2———> 6CO2+ 6H2O+ energy
How are the reactants in the formula acquired
Food and breathing
Which stage is anaerobic
Glycolysis
Anaerobic
Happened without oxygen
Where does each stage take place in the cell
Glycolysis-> cytoplasm, citric acid cycle-> matrix of the mitochondria, electron transport-> inner membrane
What is the purpose of cellular transport
To produce energy for the cell from food
What is the energy investment cost of glycolysis
2 ATP
What is the gross yield of glycolysis
4 ATP
What is the net gain of glycolysis
2 ATP
What is the final carbon molecule from the intermediate reaction that feeds into the Citric acid cycle
Acetyl CoA
What energy carriers are generated by the citric acid cycle
FADH and NADH
What enzyme is responsible for generating ATP through the energy provided by concentration gradient? Where are the proteins located that aid this transportation
ATP-ase located in the bilayer of the inner membrane
Energy
Ability to do work
Cellular respiration
Pathway in which organic molecules are broken down into energy for the cell
