Chapter 7 Flashcards
True or False: the equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy.
True.
What is oxidation?
The loss of electrons during a chemical reaction.
What is reduction?
Electrons are gained during a chemical reaction.
Does cellular respiration include three stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport?
Yes.
What is the substrate level called?
Phosphorylation.
NAD+ and NADH, FAD and FADH2 are carriers of high energy electrons called c _ _ _ _ _ _ _ s
Coenzymes.
How do the electron transport chain and ATP synthase power cellular respiration?
The electron transport chain transports electrons to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This drives the synthesis of ATP.
How is oxygen consumed in cellular respiration?
Oxygen combines with electrons and two hydrogen ions to make water. Then hydrogen ions flow through ATP synthase and combine with ADP and phosphate group to form ATP.
