Ch. 10 Flashcards
How is energy in food measured
Units of calories
What type of organisms carry out cellular respiration
Both plants and animal cells
Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell
The mitochondria and cytoplasm
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration
Oxygen + glucose= carbon dioxide+ water+ ATP
Cellular respiration
Plants and animals take the food molecules we eat, and break it down into ATP
Aerobic
Process that requires oxygen
Anaerobic
Process that doesn’t require oxygen
What are the three stages of cellular respiration
- Glycolysis takes place in cytoplasm
- Krebs cycle takes place in mitochondria
- electron transport takes place in mitochondria
Does glycolysis need oxygen
No
If the cell is aneorobic what’s the stage after glycolysis
Fermentation
If oxygen is present what is the second stage
Krebs cycle
What are the two products of Krebs cycle
CO2 and ATP
Is oxygen required for the third stage
Yes
What are the two types of fermentation
Lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation
When do humans use lactic acid fermentation
During rapid exercise
