Ch.9 Review, Celluler Resporation Flashcards
What is another name for fermentation?
Anaerobic cellular respiration.
Where does fermentation take place?
In the cytosol of the cell.
When do humans use lactic acid fermentation?
During exercise.
Why is food important?
It provides us with the chemical building blocks we need to grow and reproduce.
What is the difference between a calorie and a Calorie.
A Calorie is 1000 calories.
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2 ➡️ 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
Why do organisms have to release a little energy at a time?
If we didn’t we would burst into flames from having too much energy.
What is the net yield of glycolysis?
2 ATP and 2 NADH.
Why do we need more steps other than glycolysis?
Because in a few seconds all of the NAD+ in a cell are filled up with electrons and glycolysis cannot continue.
What happens to the pyruvic acid after glycolysis?
If there is no oxygen fermentation occurs, if there is oxygen cellular respiration continues.
What is the difference between being anaerobic and aerobic?
Anaerobic= no oxygen Aerobic= oxygen is present
Give an overview of the Krebs cycle.
Acetyl CoA a is broken down into CO2 while energy is released.
What is chemiosmosis?
Hydrogen ions moving from high to low concentration gradients and as they move through the ATP synthase it cause it to spin in the energy to make ATP.
What are the steps of cellular respiration and where do they take place?
- Glycolysis- it takes place in the cytosol of the cell.
- The Krebs cycle – it takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
- The electron transport chain – It takes place on the criste.
Where does lactic acid go when it is done being used?
The liver
What is the difference between lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?
- lactic acid fermentation – is used to make dairy products, is do used by your muscles during exercise to give you energy after ATP runs out
- alcoholic fermentation –some plant cells and unicellular organisms (like yeast) convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol (ethanol), is used to make bread and alcohol
Does fermentation make ATP/what does it do?
No, it regenerates NAD+
