Cellular respiration, and photosynthesis Flashcards
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
the equation of cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O = 6CO2 + 6H2O +ENERGY
Thermodynamics
Is the study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe
what is energy?
the ability to do work
Cells metabolism
All of the chemical reactions in a cell are referred to as the cell’s metabolism
what is photosynthesis
is the anabolic pathway in which light energy is converted to stored chemical energy by converting carbon dioxide plus water into sugars plus released oxygen
Cellular respiration
Is a catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy
what is ATP
is a multistructure storehouse of chemical energy that can be used by cells in a variety of reactions.
ATP functions
releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate group is broken forming a molecule called adenosine
glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm through the process of…
Glycolysis
The series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide is called the…
Krebs cycle
can bacteria do cellular respiration?
Yes, they dont even need mitochondria
how many steps are in the calvin cycle?
4
respiration with the presence of oxygen
aerobic respiration
some cells can function when oxygen is low
anaerobic respiration
