Chapter 9 - Cell Respiration Flashcards
Measures calories in food by burning them
Calorimeter
The amount of energy needed to raise the temp of one gram of water one degree Celsius
Calorie
What does the body do with food?
Breaks it down and releases heat and electrons that make atp
What does cell respiration do?
Takes energy stored in glucose and makes usable energy
What is cell respiration about?
How Cells use oxygen and food
Where does cell respiration take place?
Mitochondria
Waste products of cell respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water
What is photosynthesis about?
How plants use carbon dioxide
What does photosynthesis do?
Changes the sun’s energy into sugar
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
Waste products of photosynthesis?
Oxygen
Glucose
Cell respiration pathway is for?
Making atp
4 steps of cell respiration
Glycolysis
Intermediate step
Krebs cycle
Electron transport chain
Summary of glycolysis and location
Splits apart glucose in the cytosol
location of intermediate step
Starts in cytosol and ends in mitochondria
Location of Krebs cycle
Mitochondrial matrix
Location of electron transport chain
Inner membrane space and matrix
2 types of respiration
Anaerobic
Aerobic
What is anaerobic respiration and how many atp does it make?
Making atp without oxygen
2
What is aerobic respiration and how many atp does it make?
Uses oxygen to make atp
38
What does glycolysis do, and what is used to do it?
Split one glucose into two pyruvate
2 atp
What is made in glycolysis?
2 nadh
4 atp
2 pyruvate
What happens in the intermediate step?
Pyruvate is rearranged into acetyl- coa
What is made in the intermediate step?
2 carbon dioxide
2 nadh
2 acetyl- coa
