Chapter 9 Cellular Respiration and Fermentation

Question 1

What is ATP

Answer 1

Energy created from the cell to do things like muscle contraction and cell synthesis

Question 2

What is cellular respiration?

Answer 2

metabolic processes that result in the cell breaking down molecules to get energy in the form of ATP

Question 3

What is the chemical equation for Cellular Respiration?

Answer 3

C6O1206 + 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy

Question 4

What are the 4 stages of cellular respiration in cells?

Answer 4

Glycolysis, pyruvate processing, citric acid cycle/ krebs cycle, electron transport train

Question 5

What happens in Glycolysis?

Answer 5

Break down of glucose to 2 pyruvates

Question 6

What happens in Pyruvate Processing

Answer 6

Pyruvate and coenzyme A combine to form acely-coa

Question 7

What happens in Kreb’s cycle?

Answer 7

degradation fo remaining glucose carbons

Question 8

What is the role of the electron transport train?

Answer 8

Get ATP/ Energy

Question 9

What role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Answer 9

the final electron acceptor, bonds with H to make water

Question 10

how does fermentation occur?

Answer 10

When oxygen isnt present, occurs after glycolysis

Question 11

what waste products that pyruvate is converted to?

Answer 11

latic acid, ethanol, various organic molecules
