Chapter 5 Flashcards
Food molecules contain ___ that is released when their chemical bonds are broken.
chemical energy
What unit is energy stored in food expressed as?
Calories
Carbohydrates and proteins have ___ Calories of energy per gram
4
Fats contain ___ Calories of energy per gram
9
How do you calculate calories?
Multiply the amount of carbohydrate grams and protein grams by 4, multiply the amount of fat grams by 9, and add them all together.
The process of energy conversion that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen
Cellular Respiration
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
Oxygen + Glucose -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP
What are the reactants in cellular respiration?
Oxygen and Glucose
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
___ and ___ are thought as opposite processes because one takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while the other takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration
What are the stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Krebs Cycle
Electron Transport Chain
pathways that require oxygen
Aerobic
pathways that don’t require oxygen
Anaerobic
What happens in glycolysis?
Glucose enters the cytoplasm and gets split into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid. This produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH, and the pyruvic acids move to the Krebs Cycle.
Is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic?
Anaerobic
