Chapter 3 Pt. 5 Flashcards
What are the two ways cells break down glucose molecules apart for energy?
(1) Cellular Respiration
(2) Fermentation
What is the difference between cellular respiration and fermentation?
(1) Cellular Respiration- requires oxygen
(2) Fermentation- doesn’t require oxygen
All of the chemical reactions that take place in a cell constitute its __________
metabolism
Cellular respiration and fermentation are examples of _________ __________
catabolic pathways
What is the difference between catabolic and anabolic pathways?
catabolic pathways-pathways in which complex molecules are broken down into simpler compounds, releasing energy
anabolic pathways- conversely, build complex molecules from simpler ones and consume energy
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
cells breaking down glucose by using oxygen
What are the 4 phases of cell respiration?
(1) Glycosis
(2) Transition Reaction
(3) Citric Acid Cycle
(4) Electron transport chain
