Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Cellular respiration

Answer 1

the cellular process (metabolic reactions) that releases energy from molecules that are organic compounds (organic = carbon-containing molecules).

EX: carbohydrate = C6, H12, O6

cells are able to transfer energy from food to ATP.

Question 2

Metabolism

Answer 2

the sum total of all energy transformations that occur in the body.

Question 3

Metabolic reactions - 2 types:

Answer 3

Anabolism

Catabolism

Question 4

Anabolism

Answer 4

the buildup of larger molecules from smaller ones and requires energy; energy is used to build.

Question 5

Catabolism

Answer 5

the breakdown of larger molecules into smaller ones and releases energy; energy is produced via the breakdown of molecules.

Question 6

anaerobic

Answer 6

meaning it occurs in the absence of, does not require, nor uses oxygen

Question 7

aerobic

Answer 7

meaning it occurs in the presence of, requires, or uses oxygen.

Question 8

Skeletal muscle cells

Answer 8

able to produce energy anaerobically and/or aerobically as the situation demands it.

the early phases of cellular respiration can take place without the presence of oxygen.

Question 9

Energy

Answer 9

the capacity to change or move matter; that is, energy is the ability to do work.

Question 10

Common forms of energy

Answer 10

heat, light, sound, electrical energy, mechanical energy, and chemical energy.

Question 11

Atom

Answer 11

the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element.

Question 12

molecule

Answer 12

When two or more atoms bond, they form a new kind of particle

Question 13

compounds

Answer 13

When atoms of different elements combine, they form molecules

Two hydrogen atoms + two oxygen atoms = hydrogen peroxide.

Question 14

Chemical energy

Answer 14

help in the bonds of molecules and compounds, and that energy is released when bond is broken.

Note: it requires energy to break the bonds!
