Ch. 6 Flashcards
Heterotrophs
CONSUMERS that depend on autotrophs for food (ie animals)
Autotrophs
PRODUCERS that make their own food by photosynthesis (ie plants)
Respiration
Process by which energy is harvested from sugars and other organic molecules.
Plants preform both photo and cellular respiration Animals only preform cellular respiration
Fermentation
‼️2 ATP molecules produced @ end of fermentation
Oxygen is not required
Final electron acceptor is an organic molecule
Occurs in yeast, bacteria
Converts sugars to acids, gasses or alcohol
Aerobic respiration
36 ATP IS MADE
Uses oxygen
FINAL ELECTRON ACCEPTOR IS OXYGEN
anaerobic
Without oxygen
Glycolysis
Takes place in cytoplasm
Both respiration and fermentation
Oxidation to Pyruvic acid
Net gain of ATP = 2 ATP
Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
Occurs in mitochondria
•Krebs cycle is the oxidation of acetyl groups to CO2 with ATP production.
2 ATP produced
Electron transport
Takes place inner membrans of mitochondria
32 ATP produced
Oxidation
Removal of electrons
Reduction
Adding of electrons
Redox reaction
Oxidation + reduction
Reactants of respiration
Glucose, Co2,
End product of respiration
Co2, H2o , ATP
End product of fermentation
Lactate, alcohol, and co2
