Chapter 9: Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is the process of glycolysis(cell respiration)?
glycolysis->kreb cycle->ETC
Where does glycolysis take place?
It takes place in the cytosol outside of the mitochondria
What is the breakdown of organic molecules?
exergonic
What is fermentation?
The process of making energy without oxygen
What is aerobic respiration?
The consumption of organic molecules and oxygen that makes ATP
What is anaerobic respiration?
The consumption of compounds other than O2
What does cellular respiration include?
Both anaerobic and aerobic respiration
What are redox reactions?
Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants
What is the oxidizing agent?
The electron receptor
What is the reducing agent?
The electron donor
What is oxidized during cellular respiration?
Fuel like glucose
What is the reducing agent in cellular respiration?
O2
What is glycolysis?
The breakdown of glucose to produce two pyruvates
What is the citric acid cycle?
The complete breakdown of glucose
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
the creation of ATP
