Cellular Respiration Quiz Flashcards
Organisms that perform photosynthesis
Plants, algae, and certain types of bacteria
Products of Photosynthesis
Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)
Reactants of photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide and water
What is the purpose of photosynthesis
change the energy in sunlight to kinds of energy that can be stored for later use
Organisms that perform cellular respiration
all living things
Products of cellular respiration
Carbon Dioxide, water and ATP
Reactants of cellular respiration
Glucose, Oxygen
describe the purpose of cellular respiration
to generate usable energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by breaking down glucose molecules
what is the purpose of glycolysis
breaks down glucose to from two pyruvates which are then used in the krebs cycle
where does glycolysis take place
cytosol
what reactant is used during glycolysis
glucose, 2 ATP and 2 NAD+
What products are formed during glycolysis
two pyruvate molecules, two ATP molecules, and two NADH molecules
Describe the first step in glycolysis
1) Energy investment phase: 2 ATP added to glucose, glucose splits into 2 3-carbon molecules, enzymes rearrange these molecules.
Describe the 2nd step in glycolysis
2) Energy payoff phase: Electrons from the 2 3-carbon molecules are transferred to 2 NAD+, forming 2NADH, more reactions convert the 2 3-carbon molecules into 2 pyruvate, 4 ATP is made.
Describe the 3rd step in glycolysis
3) Products: 2 NADH move into mitochondria to go to the ETC, net 2 ATP are produced, 2 Pryuvate move into Krebs cycle.
Describe the purpose of the krebs cycle
Produce electron carriers/energy carrying molecules which are transferred to the final stage of cellular respiration
