Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration

Question 1

what does cellular respiration accomplish

Answer 1

converts glucose and oxygen into ATP, co2, and water. aka ENERGY

Question 2

write the general equation of cellular respiration

Answer 2

C6 CH12 06 + 02 –> 6CO2+ 6H20
glucose + water –> carbon dioxide and water

Question 3

why is respiration necessary for living organisms

Answer 3

energy production

Question 4

four phases of respiration

Answer 4

glycolysis, transition, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

Question 5

where do each of the steps in respiration occur

Answer 5

glycolysis- cytoplasm
transition- inner membrane
Krebs- mitochondrial matrix
oxidative phosphorylation- inner mitochondrial membrane

Question 6

describe glycolysis

Answer 6

the break down of glucose into 2 ATP and 2 NDAH, its anaerobic and occurs outside the mitochondria (cytoplasm)

Question 7

what’s the end product of glycolysis

Answer 7

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules used in the transition

Question 8

describe the transition state

Answer 8

the 2 pyruvate molecules are oxidized to Acetyl CoA in order to enter the Mitochondrion

Question 9

describe the citric acid cycle

Answer 9

Acetyl CoA gets further oxidized, its combines with Oxaloacetate to form critrate
