Energy In A Cell (lesson 7)

Question 1

What is ATP and what does it do for you?

Answer 1

Energy that all cells use and it supplies cells with energy

Question 2

How do we get energy from ATP

Answer 2

By breaking the high-energy bonds between the phosphate groups

Question 3

When is ATP made in the body?

Answer 3

In the cytoplasm and mitochondria during cellular respiration in both animal and plants

Question 4

What is cellular respiration?

Answer 4

chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP

Question 5

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Answer 5

C2H2O + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H20

Question 6

What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration and happens in each stage?

Answer 6

1- Glycolysis
In cytoplasm, breaks glucose into pyruvic acid, makes 2 CO2 and 2 ATP

2- Kreb’s Cycle
In mitochondria, uses pyruvtic acid and oxygen, make 4 CO2, 2 ATP, NADH and FADH2

3- Electron Transport Chain
In mitochondria, uses NADH/FADH2 to make 34 ATP, 6 H2O
