Where do organisms get the energy they need?

A

Food

18
Q

What are the three main stages in cellular respiration?

A

Glycolysis
Krebs cycle
Electron transfer chain

19
Q

What is the order where the. Odd source of energy takes it from?

A

The ATP already in the muscles
ATP made my lactic acid fermentation
ATP produced by cellular respiration

20
Q

Since photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, what does cellular respiration do?

A

It puts the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere

21
Q

What would be the problem is CR took place in just one step?

A

It would all happen all at once and would loose energy

22
Q

Where does glycolysis take place?

A

In the cytoplasm

23
Q

How does the cell get glycolysis going?

A

It uses energy of 2 ATP molecules

24
Q

What organisms use alcoholic fermentation?

A

Yeast

Other micro organisms

25
Q

What does lactic acid fermentation convert into lactic acid?

A

Glucose

26
Q

During the Krebs cycle, how many molecules of CO2 are released?

A

2 molecules

27
Q

How is citric acid produced?

A

Acetyl CoA adds 2-carbon acetyl group to a 4-carbon molecule producing a 6-carbon molecule called Citric acid
