Chapter 8 And 9 Flashcards
The energy currency of a cell
ATP
Anabolism
All build up reactions in the body
Catabolism
All break down reactions in the body
Aerobic respiration
Metabolic reactions that require the presence of oxygen
How do you catabolic pathways get energy
By oxidizing organic fuels
What is fermentation
It is a catabolic pathway that slightly breaks down glucose without involving oxygen
Cellular respiration
Is a catabolic pathway Anaerobic and aerobic respiration and aerobic respiration
Breaks down organic molecules and uses electron transport for the production of ATP
How is energy stored as food
It is stored in food molecules through redox reactions
What does oxidation mean
The loss of electrons
What does reduction mean
The gaining of electrons
What is the equation for cellular respiration
Look at notes
What is being oxidize in the cellular respiration reaction
Glucose is oxidized to CO2
What is being reduced in the cellular respiration reaction
Oxygen is reduced to H2O
What is the photosynthesis reaction
Look at notes
Glycolysis reaction
The input of glucose produces 2 puruvate, 2ATP and 2 NADH
