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
