Chapter 9 Flashcards
Where do organisms get energy
Organisms get the energy they need from food
For all organisms, ________ contain chemical energy that is released when their chemicals bonds are broken
Food molecules
Is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius
Calorie
The calorie (capital C) that is used on food labels is _______, or 1000 calories
Kilocalorie
Cells can use all sorts of molecules for foods, including
Fats, protein, and carbohydrate
The energy stored in each of these macromolecules varies because of their ______________, and therefore their energy-storing bonds, differ
Chemical structure
Beef releases ________ calories of heat energy when it’s bonds are broken
8893
Carbohydrates and protein contain _________ calories (4 Calories) energy per gram
4000
Fats contain ________ calories (9 calories) per gram
9000 calories
Is the process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen
Cellular Respiration
Formula of Cellular Respiration in Symbols
6O2+C6H12O6—>6CO2+6H2O+Energy
Formula of Cellular Respiration In Words
Oxygen+Glucose—> Carbon Dioxide+Water+Energy
3 Main Stages of Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis, The Kreb Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Glucose first enters a chemical pathway, only a small amount of energy is captured to form ATP. In the end of this stage, about 90% of the chemical energy that was available is still unused, locked in the chemical bonds of molecule called pyruvic acid. Occurs in the cytoplasm
Glycolysis
The pyruvic acid enters this stage, where a little more energy is generated. Occurs in the way to the mitochondria, matrix
The Kreb Cycle
The bulk of energy go to this stage. This stage requires reactants from the other two stages of the process. Occurs in the cristea of the mitochondria
Electron Transport Chain
How does the electron transport chain extract so much energy from these reactants?
It uses oxygen
Is require at the very of the electron transport chain
Oxygen
Breathing
Respiration
Refers to energy releasing pathways within the cell
Cellular Respiration
In air
Aerobic
Are both aerobic processes
The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain
Does not directly require oxygen, it is classified as an aerobic process before it cannot run without the oxygen-requiring electron transport chain
The Kreb Cycle
Without air
Anaerobic
