Cellular Respiration and Fermentation Flashcards
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine triphosphate
Does cellular respiration happen in both plants and animals?
Yes

32
What is the net ATP produced in cellular respiration?
36
What part of cellular respiration doesn’t depend on oxygen?
Glycolysis
What parts of cellular respiration require oxygen?
Krebs cycle and the ETC
What does the ETC stand for?
The Electron Transport Chain
If the cell goes through Glycolysis and there is no oxygen what cycle does it complete?
Fermentation
How long can a cell complete fermentation before having to switch to cellular respiration?
90 seconds
What are the two types of fermentation?
Alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation
What type of fermentation do humans do?
Lactic acid fermentation
