Finals-Chapter 10 Flashcards
Cellular respiration
The process by which an organism uses the food it consumes to produce energy
What organelle is involved in cellular respiration?
The mitochondria
Aerobic respiration
When oxygen is present
Anaerobic respiration
When oxygen is absent
Stages of cellular respiration if oxygen is present
Glycolysis
Prep-Step
Krebbs cycle
Electron transport chain
Stages of cellular respiration if oxygen is not present
Glycolysis
Fermentation
Where does glycolysis occur
In the cytoplasm
What happens during glycolysis
One molecule of glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
What is required to start glycolysis
2 atp molecules
How many ATP molecules are produced during glycolysis
4
What is the net production of ATP during glycolysis. What else is produced during glycolysis?
2 ATP
2 NADPH
Lactic acid fermentation
Occurs in muscle cells when there isn’t enough oxygen
Alcoholic fermentation
occurs in yeast
Does either fermentation pathway produce ATP
No
Prep-Step
When each pyruvic acid made during glycolysis is modified so it can enter the Krebbs cycle.
