chap 7 cellular respiration Flashcards
what does the catabolism process do
catabolism process releases energy
what does the anabolism process do
anabolism process uses energy
name the types of cellular respiration
aerobic respiration
anaerobic respiration
fermentation
when does aerobic respiration happen
occurs in the presence of oxygen
when does anaerobic respiration occur
occurs in the absence of oxygen
what happens during fermentation
the breakdown of glucose is incomplete in conditions of limited oxygen or without oxygen
what is aerobic respiration
the breakdown of glucose involving oxygen to produce chemical energy
why is oxygen used in aerobic respiration
to oxidise glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy
what does aerobic respiration begins with
begins with the glycolysis process
what is the glycolysis process
glycolysis means the breakdown of glucose by enzymes
where does glycolysis occur
glycolysis occur in the cytoplasm
write the word equation in the glycolysis process
glucose -> pyruvate
where does the following process of glycolysis occur
mitochondrion
how is the large amount of energy produced used
it is used to produced atp molecules
write the word equation for glucose oxidation
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
name two types of fermentation
alcohol fermentation
lactic acid fermentation
whats the word equation for alcohol fermentation
glucose -> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy
name examples where alcohol fermentation occurs
yeast
plants
what kind of plants does alcohol fermentation occurs
paddy plants
why does paddy plants occur alcohol fermentation
because they grow in waterlogged areas with less oxygen
ethanol is toxic, but why are paddy plants okay to it
because paddy plants have a higher tolerance for ethanol
what is the tolerance mechanism that paddy plants have
paddy plants produce plenty of alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes that can breakdown ethanol molecules into non toxic carbon dioxide
write the word equation for lactic acid fermentation
glucose -> lactic acid + energy
where does lactic acid fermentation occur
lactobacillus
human muscle cells
