Ch. 6 Cellular Respiration Flashcards
“ATP” stands for
Adenosine Triphosphate
Anaerobic repiration
Makes ATP without using oxygen (only 2 ATP)
Aerobic respiration
Makes ATP using oxygen
(36-38 ATP)
Cellular Respiration occurs in 3 main stages
Glycolysis
Citric Acid Cycle
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Glycolysis occurs in the _________
Cytoplasm
Glycolysis starts the _____ breakdown pathway of aerobic respiration and fermentation
Sugar
Citric Acid Cycle AKA
Krebs Cycle, occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
True or False, In the Krebs cycle O2 is released as a byproduct
False, CO2 is released as a byproduct
Alcoholic fermentation
Anaerobic sugar breakdown pathway that produces ATP, CO2, and ethanol
Yeast fermentation
Glucose –> ethyl alcohol + CO2 + 2 ATP
Used to produce beer, wine, and bread
