Cellular Respiratory

Question 1

Define Cellular Respiration

Answer 1

Is one of the most important metabolic process in any cell. It is the process by which organic molecules, taken in as food, are broken down in the cells to release energy for the cell’s activities.

Question 2

Examples of Cellular Respiration

Answer 2

-Movement of the cell.
-Uptake of materials form the surroudings.
-Production and secretion of new chemical compound.

Question 3

What can it Release as Energy?

Answer 3

Glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol.

Question 4

Energy used from Cellular Respiration

Answer 4

-60% of the availablew energy is released as heat.
-The remaining energy is used to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Question 5

How is ATP Formed?

Answer 5

When an inorganic phosphate group is joined as a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

Question 6

What is Glycolysis?

Answer 6

Breakdown of glucose which does not require oxygen (splitting glucose).

Question 7

How many ATP is Created in the Anaerobic Respiration?

Answer 7

2 ATP.

Question 8

How many ATP is Created in the Aerobic Respiration?

Answer 8

Estimated to about 38 ATP. 2 from glycolysis, 2 from krebs cycle, and up to 34 from the electron transport mechanism.

Question 9

Define Anaerobic Respiration

Answer 9

Produces energy (ATP) in the absence of oxygen, relying on alternative electron acceptors instead of oxygen.

Question 10

Define Aerobic Respiration

Answer 10

Uses oxygen to convert glucose into energy (ATP), producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
