CH: 5 Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What process is the most basic form of energy creation: (used by all organisms, but for bacteria, it is the main process for energy)
Glycolysis
What does Glycolysis need to get the process started?
It needs ATP to break glucose into 3 carbon molecules
What does Glycolysis create?
ADP (originally to break down carbons) but then creates ATP, NADH and pyruvate.
Where does Glycolysis Occur?
In the cytoplasm or cytosol.
What are the two terms for the space outside the mitochondrion?
Cytosol or Cytoplasm
What is anaerobic vs. aerobic?
anaerobic - dosen’t require oxygen
Aerobic - requires oxygen
Where is NADPH and NADH found?
NADPH - plants
NADH - Non-plants
P for PLANTS
Is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic
Glycolysis is anaerobic
How many pyruvates does glycolysis make?
2
Where does Krebs cycle preparation occur?
It occurs from the cytosol(cytoplasm) on the way to the mitochondrion
What carries the pyruvate to the mitochondrion? (Kreb cycle prep)
The CoA enzyme.
what does Glycolysis do?
Breaks down the glucose into pyruvate creating some ADP & ATP and NADH in the process
What are the four steps in cellular respiration?
- Glycolysis
- Krebs cycle prep
- Krebs cycle
- Electron transport chain
What are the starting and ending molecules in Krebs cycle preparation?
Pyruvate and CoA enzyme and NAD+ become acetyl CoA, carbon dioxide, and NADH
What transfers the molecules from the cytosol to the mitochondrion?
CoA Enzyme
