Cellular Respiration Flashcards
This form of respiration is used by bacteria, yeast, mold, microorganisms, and muscle cells.
Fermentation
This is another name for cellular respiration.
Aerobic respiration
This is another name for fermentation.
Anaerobic respiration
This is the first step in both forms of respiration.
Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the process of…
Splitting glucose
This form of respiration is used by plants, animals, fungi, and some microorganisms.
Cellular respiration
During glycolysis this many ATP are invested
2 ATP
Energy released from breaking glucose is stored in this molecule
NAD+
The products of glycolysis are
4 ATP, NADH, and 2 Pyruvate
In the Kreb’s cycle Pyruvate is converted into
Acetyl Co-A
The enzyme that converts Pyruvate in the Kreb’s cycle is:
Coenzyme A
Acetyl Co-A is converted into….
Citric acid
As citric acid is converted into many other compounds, the Kreb’s cycle will produce
ATP, NADH, and FADH2
The waste product of the Kreb’s cycle is
Carbon dioxide
The Kreb’s cycle produces how many ATP?
- One for each Pyruvate
The electron transport chain will release the energy stored in…
NADH and FADH2
The electrons will zoom down the ETC until they reach…
Oxygen!
The H+ ions released during the ETC will be used to power this enzyme.
ATPsynthase
How many ATP can the electron transport chain make?
32
When the electrons reach oxygen in the ETC, this compound is made…it’s also why the last step is called chemiosmosis.
Water!
This process converts Pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. It also releases energy from NADH.
Alcoholic fermentation.
This process converts Pyruvic acid into lactic acid and also releases the energy from NADH.
Lactic acid fermentation.
Short term energy only lasts up to a few minutes and is also responsible for this response…
Fight or flight
To recuperate your short term energy, which drains your body (noodle arms and legs), is to…
Rest and get plenty of oxygen.
