Ch.12 - Respiration Flashcards
What is anaerobic and aerobic respiration?
(Also known as internal respiration)
Anaerobic respiration is the controlled release of energy from food without the use of oxygen.
Aerobic respiration is the controlled release of energy from food using oxygen.
What is external respiration?
External respiration is the process by which organisms exchange gases with their environments.
What is fermentation?
Anaerobic respiration.
What is biotechnology?
Biotechnology is the use of organisms or their components to manufacture useful products or to carry out useful reactions.
What is a bioreactor?
A bioreactor is a vessel in which biological reactions take place.
Draw a diagram of a bioreactor.
What is glycolysis?
Glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid.
Draw a diagram for the 2 types of anaerobic respiration.
Draw out the events in both stages of respiration.
Draw a diagram for the electron transport chain.
Name the ‘small molecule’.
CO2
What is the cytosol?
The cytosol is the liquid part of the cytoplasm.
What happens to the low-energy electrons at the end of the electron transport chain?
They are converted to water with 2H+ and a half O2.
