Q

Why do organisms have to release a little energy at a time?

A

If we didn’t we would burst into flames from having too much energy.

Q

Why do we need more steps other than glycolysis?

A

Because in a few seconds all of the NAD+ in a cell are filled up with electrons and glycolysis cannot continue.

Q

What happens to the pyruvic acid after glycolysis?

Q

What is chemiosmosis?

A

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.

Q

What are the steps of cellular respiration and where do they take place?

A
  • 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.

Q

What is the difference between lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?

A
  • 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

17
Q

What is the net total of ATP produced in cellular respiration?

A

36 ATP

18
Q

How efficient are we as humans at harnessing energy from glucose?

A

38% efficient

19
Q

Where do electrons go after the electron transport chain?

A

Oxygen accepts them to form H2O.

20
Q

How many ATP can be made per NADH?

A

3

21
Q

How many ATP can be made per FADH?

A

2

22
Q

How much heat energy does 1 gram of glucose release?

A

3811 calories (3.811 Calories)

23
Q

Define the word calorie.

A

The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water to 1°C.

24
Q

What is another name for Calorie?

A

A kilocalorie

25
Q

What is the definition of cellular respiration?

A

The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.

26
Q

Define glycolysis.

A

The process by which one molecule of glucose is broken into 2 3-carbon molecules called pruvic acid (pyruvate).

27
Q

What amount of ATP/NADH is used/made in glycolysis?

A
  • 4 ATP made
  • 2 ATP used
  • net yield- 2 ATP+ 2 NADH
28
Q

If glycolysis isn’t very efficient why is it useful?

A

Even though the process doesn’t produce a lot of energy it is so fast that cells can produce thousands of ATP in a few milliseconds.

29
Q

What are the steps in cellular respiration?

A

The Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.

30
Q

What does the pyruvic acid have to do before it can enter the Krebs cycle?

A

It has to become acetyl CoA.

31
Q

Who is the Krebs cycle named after?

A

It is named after a British biochemist named Hans Krebs.

32
Q

What is another name for the Krebs cycle?

A

The citric acid cycle

33
Q

How many pyruvic acids is the glucose broken down into during the Krebs cycle and how many turns of the Krebs cycle does this result in?

A

It is broken down into two pyruvic acids and this results in two turns of the Krebs cycle.

34
Q

What is the total of things produced in the Krebs cycle?

A
  • 6 NADH
  • 2 FADH2
  • 2 ATP
  • 4 CO2
35
Q

What happens when NADH and FADH2 drop off their electrons at the electron transport chain?

A

The energy from the electrons being dropped off is used to bring hydrogens across the membrane.

36
Q

How many electrons moving through the electron transport chain produces one ATP?

A

12

37
Q

In the presence of oxygen how many times the amounts of ATP is produced than without oxygen?

A

18 times

38
Q

What is the grand total of ATP produced through cellular respiration from one glucose?

A

38 ATP

39
Q

What happens to the energy not harnessed in glucose?

A

It is lost as heat energy

40
Q

What is another name for fermentation?

A

Anaerobic respiration

41
Q

What carries out lactic acid fermentation?

A

Microorganisms

42
Q

What does the liver do to the lactic acid it receives?

A

It converts it back into pyruvic acid.
