CR Flashcards
what is CR
breaking down of glucose into usable energy ATP fir the cell
how do humans get glucose
through difestion
cellular respiration releases energy in glucose by ____
____ are removed
energy is ___
_____ are produced
oxidazing it
electrons
released
CO2 and H2O
In oxygen rich environments organisms carry out ____ cellular respiration
aerobic (requiers O2 to produce ATP )
in oxygen poor environments some organisms do _____ cellular respiration
anaerobic (dosent require O2 to make ATP )
3 pathways for energy release are
aerobic CR
anaerobic CR
fermentation
aerobic CR involves three metabolic pathways :
- glycolysis
2.kerb cycle - ETC electron transport chain
what does CR produce
H2O and CO2 and atp
which pathway for CR is most efficient and produces the most ATP
aerobic
whats the first step for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration
glycolysis
where dose the first step glycolysis take place
in the cytoplasm of cell outside mitochondria
how does glycolysis start
C6H12O6 (glucose) is split into 2 3 carbon sugars(PGAL) which are high energy by breaking down ATP into ADP +P and using its energy and H2O
whats 3 carbons chain called thats high energy
PGAL
whats a 3 carbons chain thats low energy called
pyruvate (similar to PGA)
what is the second thing that occurs in glycolysis once the glucose is split into 2 3 carbon chains high energy
the energy from the PGAL is used to charge up 2NAD+ to 2NADH and becomes low energy
what are the 2 chains of 3 carbons become low energy called
pyruvate
whats pyruvate
chains of 3 carbons that are low energy
after the 2 pyruvate are formed and 2 NADH are energized ehat occurs
4ADP are made into 4 ATP creating a net is formed and a product of 2 C3 pyruvate is formed
glycolysis inputs and outputs
input:
1 glucose (C6H12O6)
2 NAD+ (not charged)
2 ATP
4 ADP + 4P
Output:
2 pyruvate
2 NADH (charged)
4 ATP
2 H2O
what is created by the C6H12O6 in glycolysis
H2O and glucose which is made into pyruvate
what step of the CR happens even without O2 ( anaerobic)
glycolysis
in glycolysis oxygen becomes ____ and glucose _____
reduced , oxidized
does glycolysis generate any atp ?
a small amount only
glycolysis is the start of
aerobic cellular respiration and fermentation if not enough O2
what does glycolysis produce
net product of 2 atp and 4 atp total and 2 NADH
2 CO2 that diffuses out as waste
2 CoA (goes to kreb cycle
