cellular respiration

Question 1

cellular respiration

Answer 1

A series of metabolic processes that take place within a cell in which biochemical energy is harvested from organic substance (e.g. glucose) and stored as energy carriers (ATP)

Question 2

how is atp energy made

Answer 2

To make ATP we take glucose from the food we eat plus oxygen we breathe in and make energy and water, plus the waste product carbon dioxide.

Question 3

where does cellular respiration take place

Answer 3

starts in cytoplasm- then in mitochondria

Question 4

glycosis

Answer 4

process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing 2 molecules of pyruvic acid.

Question 5

krebs cycle

Answer 5

process in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide

Question 6

electron transfer train

Answer 6

uses the high energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP.

Question 7

aerobic process of cellular respiration

Answer 7

Occurs in the presence of oxygen
Maximizes ATP output
Each cycle through aerobic respiration makes 36 ATP molecules.

Question 8

anerobic process of cellular respiration

Answer 8

Happens without oxygen
Minimal ATP output (since it occurs without additional oxygen)
Each cycle through anaerobic respiration makes 2 ATP molecules.

Question 9

latic acid fermintation

Answer 9

Occurs in animals

This is what happens to your muscles after you work out too long, you build up lactic acid.

Question 10

alchoholic fermintation

Answer 10

Occurs in plants and fungi
This is how bread and beer is made.
Ex. Yeast, CO2 released causes bread to rise.
