Cellular respiration - Definitions and terms Flashcards
Mitochondria’s characteristic wrinkled internal appearance is due to the folds in the inner membrane called?
Cristae
The spaces between the inner membrane is filled with a gel-like material called?
Matrix
A process where glucose, with the presence of oxygen, will yield carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
Cellular respiration
3 stages of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, krebs cycle, and electron transport chain
Takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and does not require oxygen
Glycolysis
Last stage of cellular respiration
electron transport phosphorylation
During glycolysis, a small amount of ____ and _____ is produced
ATP, NADH
The first step in glucose metabolism and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Glycolysis
Goal of cellular respiration
generate ATP needed by the cells to carry out various function necessary for life
2 ways to make ATP
Substrate level phosphorylation and electron transport phosphorylation
When a substrate donates a phosphate to ADP to become ATP
Substrate level phosphorylation
The final acceptor varies. If it is oxygen, the process is called _______. If it is an inorganic molecule other than oxygen, the process is _____________. If it is an organic molecule, the process is ____________.
Aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, fermentation
