Q

Does not require oxygen

A

Anaerobic

19
Q

Location of the glycolysis; does it require oxygen

A

Inside the cytoplasm ; no ( anaerobic)

20
Q

Location of krebs cycle; does it require oxygen

A

Mitochondrial matrix; yes ( aerobic)

21
Q

Location of the electron transport chain; does it require oxygen

A

Cristae; yes ( aerobic)

22
Q

Respiration begins with what molecule?

A

Glucose

23
Q

-The only stage that does not require oxygen to proceed
-happens in the cytoplasm
-breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, a 3 carbon molecule

A

Glycolysis

24
Q

Requirements in GLYCOLYSIS

A

2 NET ATP = per glucose
** produced 4 ATP ( yung 2 is pinambayad sa inutang so 2 nalang na produce)
2 NADH molecules = per glucose

25
Q

-requires oxygen to proceeed
- happens in the mitochondrial matrix
-release carbon dioxide as a waste and 1 ATP molecule

A

Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle

26
Q

requirements for KREBS CYCLE

A

2 ATP
2 FADH2
6 NADH

27
Q

-uses oxygen to proceed
-occurs inside the mitochondria ( cristae)
-the carrier molecules, NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and krebs cycle, enter the matrix of the mitochondrion and pass rheir electrons to the transport chain

A

Electron transport chain

28
Q

Requirement for ETC

A

produced 36 ATP

29
Q

It is the final electron acceptor in the chain, forming water to process

A

Oxygen

30
Q

The charge differecnce pushes nydrogen ions through an enzyme called?

A

ATP Synthase

31
Q

Stages of cellular respiration

A

Begins with glycolysis, followed by the krebs cycle and lastly the electrin transport chain

Light dependent reactions
Light independent reactions

41
Q

-takes place in the thylakoid membrane
-requires continous supply of light energy
-light energy is converted into chemical energy through the formation of ATP and NADPH
