Chapter 9 Flashcards
Reactants of cellular respiration
C6H12O6+6O2
glucose+oxygen
Products of cellular respiration
6CO2+6H2O+ENERGY
6 Carbon dioxide+ 6 water+ ENERGY
Cellular respiration
A process in which energy is release by breaking down glucose
1 part of cellular respiration
Glycolysis
Glycolysis
Occurs in the cytoplasm Breaks glucose(C6) into 2 pyruvic acid molecules(C3)+(C3)
What does glycolysis create
2 ATP
2 NADH
3 Steps of cellular respiration and how many ATP
- Glycolysis-2 ATP 2 NADH
- Krebs Cycle- 2 ATP, CO2, NADH, FADH2
- ETC- 32 ATP
TOTAL OF 36 ATP
When the pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria, it enters the
Krebs Cycle
In the Krebs Cycle
pyruvic acid is converted into CITRIC ACID
CO2 and NADH are created as well
What happens to Citric acid in the Krebs cycle
It is broken down creating one ATP, more CO2, NADH, and FADH2
Equation of cellular respiration
C6H12O6+6O2= 6Co2+ 6h2o+ energy
ETC= active transport because…
The protein uses entry from the valence electrons donated from NADH and FADH2 to actively transport positive hydrogen ions across the inner membrane
Role of ATP synthase
ATP synthase uses energy from flow on positive Hydrogen ions to create ATP from ADP
What happens when ETC is done with the valence electrons
The valence election is handed to the positive Hydrogen ions one oxygen gas becoming water
Inter membrane space
The space between the membrane
