Energy and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
what does ATP stand for?
adenosine triphosphate
what is ATP?
the primary energy currency of cells
what does ATP power?
the majority of cellular reactions
what does ATP convert to?
ADP
what does ADP stand for?
adenosine diphosphate
what is the equation for aerobic cellular respiration?
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 —-> 6CO2 + 6H20 + -32ATP
what is the other form for aerobic cellular respiration?
glucose + oxygen —-> carbon dioxide + water +ATP
what is the reactants in aerobic cellular respiration
glucose and oxygen
what is the products in aerobic cellular respiration
carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
how many steps are there to create ATP
3
what is the first step to create ATP
glycolisis
where does glycolisis happen at
the cytoplasm
what is step 2 to create ATP
citric acid cycle
what is the 3rd and final step to create ATP
electron transport cycle
do all cells do all 3 steps
no: all do glycolisis but not all 3
what are the products of aerobic cellular respiration
2- ATP
2- NADH
2- Pyruvate
what is NADH
stored potential energy
what happens in glycolsis
glucose is split into 2 pyruvic acid
where does the 2 Pyruvate get transported to
the mitochondria
what is hypoxic
when there is no oxygen available
what step do you do if there is no oxygen available for aerobic cellular aspiration
fermentation
where does the citric acid cycle occur?
in the matrix in the mitochondria
what is the extra side step needed for aerobic cellular respiration
acetyl co a step
during acetyl co a step what is the reatants
pyruvic acid
during the acetyl co a step what is the productts
2- CO2
2- acetyl co a
2- NADH
what is the product of the citric acid cycle
2- FADH2
2- ATP
4- CO2
6- NADH
what happens in the citric acid cycle
cut a carbon and release CO2 and glucose is completely broken to turn into ATP
where does the electron transport chain happen
in the christae of mitochondria
