Ch06CellRespiration

Question 1

The presence of oxygen; requiring oxygen

Answer 1

Aerobic

Question 2

Occurring without the use of molecular oxygen;

Answer 2

Anaerobic

Question 3

Catabolic pathways by which electrons are removed from various molecules and passed through intermediate electron carriers to Oxygen, generating water and releasing energy

Answer 3

Cellular Respiration

Question 4

Formation of ATP in mitochondria and chloroplasts, resulting from the pumping of protons across a membrane (against a gradient of electrical charge and of pH), followed by the return of the protons through a protein channel with ATP synthase activity.

Answer 4

Chemiosmosis

Question 5

In cellular respiration, a set of chemical reactions whereby acetyl CoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide and hydrogen atoms are stored as NADH and FADH2. Also called the Krebs Cycle

Answer 5

Citric acid cycle

Question 6

The passage of electrons through a series of proteins with a release of energy which may be captured in a concentration gradient or in Chemical form such as NADH or ATP

Answer 6

Electron transport

Question 7

The anaerobic degradation of a substance such as glucose to smaller molecules such as lactic acid or alcohol with the extraction of energy

Answer 7

Fermentation

Question 8

The enzymatic breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid (pyruvate)

Answer 8

Glycolysis

Question 9

Relative loss of electrons in a chemical reaction

Answer 9

Oxidation

Question 10

ATP formation in the mitochondria associated with flow of electrons through the respiratory chain

Answer 10

Oxidative phosphorylation

Question 11

Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA and CO2 that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix in the presence of O2

Answer 11

Pyruvate oxidation

Question 12

A chemical reaction in which one reactant becomes oxidized and the other becomes reduced

Answer 12

Redox reaction

Question 13

Gain of electrons by a chemical reactant

Answer 13

Reduction

Question 14

How many net ATP are produced in Glycolysis?

Answer 14

2

Question 15

What is the carbon compound that is a product of Glycolysis?

Answer 15

3C compound Pyruvate (and there’s 2 of them)

Question 16

What carbon compounds result from the oxidation of pyruvate?

Answer 16

Acetyl CoA and Carbon Dioxide (2C + 1C)

Question 17

Which pathway completely oxidizes the 2-carbon acetyl CoA to 2 molecules of carbon dioxide?

Answer 17

Krebs Cycle(citric acid cycle)
