Chapter 6 Flashcards
the loss of electrons
oxidation reaction
the gain of electrons
reduction reaction
what is glucose from food converted to
CO2, releasing energy that is used to produce ATP in the process of cellular respiration
molecular formula for cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
what takes place in mitochondria of all eukaryotic organisms
cellular respiration
what are the stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain
what stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP
occurs during electron transport and is known as chemiosmosis
where does the cellular respiration process occur
Matrix of mitochondria
what is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and anaerobic does not
which stage of cellular respiration requires oxygen
the electron transport chain
what splits a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate producing ATP and NADH
glycolysis
what completes the breakdown of glucose
the citric acid cycle by producing ATP and NADH
NADH and FADH2 from the glycolysis and citric acid cycle deliver electrons to
the electron transport chain where atp and h2o are produced
what does fermentation produce in yeast cells
ethanol
what does fermentation produce in muscle cells
lactic acid
