Cellular Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Phases of cellular respiration
A
- glycolysis
- preparatory reaction
- citric acid cycle
- ETC
2
Q
Where does glycolysis occur
A
In the cytoplasm
3
Q
What is glycolysis
A
The breakdown of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate
4
Q
What happens in the Calvin cycle
A
Series of oxidative reactions occur that produce one ATP and carbon dioxide per turn
- Acetyl CoA is converted to citric acid and enters cycle
- cycle turns twice because 2 acetyl CoA’s are produced per glucose
5
Q
What is glycolysis
A
The breakdown of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate
-does not require oxygen y
6
Q
ETC
A
Makes 32-34 ATP per glucose molecule
7
Q
Where does the keen cycle occur
A
Matrix
8
Q
Where does ETC occur
A
The cristae
9
Q
Metabolism
A
The sum of all the chemical reactions that occur in a cell
10
Q
Exergonic
A
Delta G is neg….products have less free energy than reactants
11
Q
Endergonic
A
Delta G is pos…products have more free energy than reactants
12
Q
Metabolic pathways
A
Series of linked reactions
