Ch. 6-7 test Flashcards
compare the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis
the products of one are the reactants for the other
where does cellular respiration occur
the matrix of the mitochondria
where does photosynthesis occur
in the chloroplasts
how are breathing and cellular respiration related
they both supply oxygen and ATP
what’s the chemical equation for cellular respiration
glucose(C6 H12 O6) + oxygen (O2) = carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H20) + ATP + heat
what’s the efficiency for cellular respiration
34%
how are redox reactions used in cellular respiration
someone needs to lose an electron for another to gain one
what does redox mean
to gain an electron
define oxidation
to lose an electron
define reduction
to gain an electron
describe the function of NAD+
- an electron carrier
- is a coenzyme
- plays important role in glucose reduction
describe the function of FAD
- an electron carrier
what do NAD+ and FAD become when they pick up electrons
NADH and FADH2
define aerobic
oxygen required
define anaerobic
oxygen not required
what are the 3 stages of cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- citric acid cycle (kreb’s cycle)
- oxidative phosphorylation
Where does glycolysis occur
in the cytosol
what does glycolysis mean
glucose splitting
What is the energy yield of glycolysis
2
is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic
anaerobic (the only stage that is)
define decarboxyalated
loses a carbon
where is the citric acid cycle located
in the matrix of the mitochondria
what’s the energy yield of the citric acid cycle
2
is the citric acid cycle aerobic or anaerobic
anaerobic
how many times can the citric acid cycle spin
2
what are the products of the citric acid cycle
6 CO2
6 NADH
2 FADH2
2 ATP
where does oxidative phosphorylation occur
the mitochondrial membrane (cristae)
what is the energy yield of oxidative phosphorylation
