cellular respiration Flashcards
what are the four stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
what is the process in which organic compounds are broken down by cells to make atp
cellular respiration
glycolysis begins with glucose what are the products
2 pyruvate, 4ATP net 2, 2NADH
the products of pyruvate oxidation are
CO2, NADH+H+, and acetyl CoA
what is the approximate energy efficiency of aerobic cellular respiration and what is lost as the other 60%
this process is 40% efficient and the other 60% is lost as heat energy
what is the basal metabolic rate
the minimum energy used when the body is at rest
what are the products of alcoholic fermentation
NAD+, ethanol, co2
what are the products of lactate fermentation
NAD+, lactic acid
in alcoholic fermentation which substance is reduced to produce ethyl alcohol?
acetaldehyde
what supplies most of the immediate energy used by the cells
ATP
anaerobic respiration relies on inorganic compounds other than oxygen to act as the final oxidizing agents in the production of ATP
true
during aerobic cellular respiration the cell produces a majority of its ATP through substrate level phosphorylation
false oxidative phosphorylation
the reactions of the citric acid cycle occur on the
outer mitochondrial membrane
FALSE it occurs in the matrix
electrons gain energy as they move along the etc
FALSE they lose energy
in the etc electrons are pushed through by the electronegativity of O2
FALSE they are pulled
