Cellular Respiration and Fermentation Flashcards
The whole purpose of cellular respiration and fermentation is to make
Glucose
The part of the cellular respiration and fermentation in which glucose is broken down
Glycolysis
Which process breaks down sugars when oxygen is present
Aerobic Respiration
What provides the electron transport chain of cellular respiration with the energy it needs to function?
Krebs Cycle
Which of the following statements best describes cellular respiration
Oxygen and carbon based molecules from food are used to make ATP
Which of the following are end products of glycolysis
Pyruvate, NADH, and ATP
What is the main function of the Krebs Cycle?
Producing molecules that carry high energy electrons to the electron transport chain
In the electron transport chain, energy from the Krebs Cycle is used to pump hydrogen ions
Across the inner mitochondrial matrix
Which phrase best describes lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation
Allows glycolysis to continue making a small amount of ATP
Which phrase about fermentation is correct?
Takes place without oxygen
Which end product of fermentation causes the burning feeling in muscles that are working hard?
Lactic Acid
Which end product of alcoholic fermentation is important in the baking industry
Lactic Acid
What molecule carries the energy that cells use for their functions
ATP
The part of cellular respiration that needs oxygen to take place inside it
Mitochondria
What process is best described by the following chemical equation?
Oxygen + Sugars –> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
