Chapter 4.2 Flashcards
A common fuel molecule for cellular respiration is ______.
glucose
Cellular respiration can produce up to ________ molecules for each glucose molecule consumed.
32 ATP
The overall equation for what happens to glucose during cellular respiration is
glucose and oxygen –
CO2, H2O, and a release of energy
Is a series of metabolic reactions that convert the energy stored in chemical bonds of food into energy that cells can use, while releasing waste products.
Cellular Respiration
Energy is stored in the electrons of chemical bonds, and when bonds are broken in a multistage process _________.
ATP
_____ can supply energy to cells because it stores energy obtained form the movement of electrons that originated in food into its own bonds.
ATP
ATP consists of
adenine
a ribose sugar
3 phosphate groups
Structurally, ATP is a
Nucleotide triphosphate
Each phosphate in a group of three is negatively charged.
True
The phosphate group that is removed from ATP can be transferred to another molecule.
Phosphorylation
energy is transferred during ______.
Phosphorylation
ADP is produced during ______.
Phosphorylation
After removal of a phosphate group, ATP becomes _____.
ADP
_______ helps power mechanical work such as the movement of cells, transport work such as the movement of substances across membranes during active transport, and chemical work such as the making of complex molecules from simpler ones.
ATP
- Movement of cells
- Active transport of substances across membranes
- making complex molecules
