chapter 6 cellular respiration Flashcards
what is cellular respiration ?
the breakdown of glucose that produces energy in the presence of oxygen to make energy
where does cellular respiration take place ?
Mitochondria
aerobic respiration
breakdown of glucose with oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
breakdown of glucose without oxygen
aerobic capacity
max rate at which oxygen can be taken in and be used by your cells
what builds up when you switch to anaerbic capacity
lactic acid
what are the 2 points to remember when cellular respiration
38 atp molecules produced for every glucose breakdown
hydrogen released from glucose is picked up by oxygen to form water
what are the coenzymes or the electron acceptors
NAD and FAD molecules
what is the oxidized states of coenzymes
NAD+ & FAD +
what are the reduced states of coenzymes
NADH and FADH2
what happened in the aerobic respiration taking place in the mito of the cell
glycolysis, kerbs cycle, and electron transport
what are the products of glycolysis
2 atp, nadh, and 2 pyruvates
what are the products of the Krebs cycle
3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 atp
double the numbers if there is a second verbs cycle
what is the electron transport pathway
series of molecules on the inner membrane of the mitochondrion
what happens if the oxygen is replaced by another gas
ets shuts down, no atp produced, cell stops working, death
what happens in anaerobic breakdown of food molecules
fermentation
what is fermentation
production of atp by the anaerobic breakdown of foos molecules
what happened in strenuous activity
body is in oxygen debt, switches to Ana, lactic acids builds, and gluconeogenesis happens
gluconeogeneis
conversion of lactic acid to pyruvate and black to glucose in the liver ( needs large amounts of oxygen and atp )
aerobes
organisms that breakdown glucose in the presence of oxygen
obligated anaerobes
die in the presence of oxygen
facultative anaerobes
ocondcuts anaerobic respiration when o is absent and aero when o is present
what are humans in aero and ana
as a whole obligated aero but cell behave as facultative Ana
