Chapter 7 Flashcards
What is the complete balanced equation for respiration
C6H12O6->6CO2+6H2O+energy(ATP)
What is cellular respiration
The process of breaking down glucose to release energy and form molecules of ATP
What is the C6 molecule initially broken down into?
Pyruvate
Does this breakdown require oxygen
No
What does anaerobic mean?
Without presence of O2 (oxygen)
What is glycolysis? Where does it occur
“Glucose breaking” , cytoplasm
Besides pyruvic acid, what does glycolysis produce
2 ATP and 2 NADH
How many ATPs are formed in glycolysis
2
After glycolysis, how many steps are involved in aerobic respiration?
2
Where does the aerobic stage of respiration take place
Mitochondria
What are the steps in aerobic respiration
Krebs cycle
Electron transport chain
What is another name for the Krebs cycle
Citric acid cycle
Who was it named for
Hans Krebs
What is released as a waste product in the Krebs cycle
CO2
What is the electron transport chain
NADH and FADH formed in the Krebs cycle move from the matrix of mitochondria to the inner membrane called cristae, also called oxidative phosphorylation
