Chapter 9 Study Guide Flashcards
Why do organisms need food? Which food molecules are used by cells for energy?
Organisms get their energy they need from food. From fats, proteins, & carbohydrates.
When acquiring energy sources, what is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?
Autotrophs store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules that they build themselves. Most autotrophs make their “food” through photosynthesis using the energy from the sun. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it.
What are the reactants/components required for Glycolysis?
2 ATP
What are the products/resulting components in Glycolysis?
2 Molecules of a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvic acid and 2 ATP molecules
What is the pathway/process of Glycolysis?
Glycolysis removed 4 electrons and passes them to NAD+ forming NADH, which is high energy electrons. At the conclusion of glycolysis, the glucose is broke and rearranged to more.
What is the net amount of ATP molecules produced in Glycolysis?
36 molecules
Where does Glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
Is Glycolysis aerobic or anearobic?
aerobic
What are the reactants/components of the Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle?
2 molecules of pyruvic acid
What is the definition of the Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle?
the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy
What is the explanation of the pathway of the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle?
2 molecules of pyruvic acid produced during enter the matrix of the mitochondrion to turn into/is broken down into C02 and NADH and FSDH2 & produce ATP. *NADH & FADH - have high E e- (high energy electrons)
Where does the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle take place?
the Matrix (cristae)
Which cellular respiration stage produces the most energy?
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Is the Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
What is the order of the stages of cellular respiration?
- Glycolysis
- Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle
- Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
What are the reactants/components required for the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?
the high energy electrons (NADH and FADH2)
What is the explanation of the pathway/process of the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?
What is the net ATP molecules produced in Cellular respiration from 1 molecule of glucose?
36 molecules
Where does the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) take place?
inner membrane of the mitochondria
Is the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
What are the reactants/components required for Fermentation?
Alcoholic Fermentation: alcohol, CO2, and NAD+
Lactic Acid Fermentation: lactic acid and NAD+
What is the definition of fermentation?
