four molecular processes, cellular respiration

Question 1

simply put how would you explain how chemical energy in glucose is transformed into chemical energy of ATP

Answer 1

glucose goes through steps of breaking down of molecules, this is cellular respiration

Question 2

What are the four processes of aerobic cellular respiration (GTKE)?

Answer 2

glycolysis
transition reaction
citric acid/krebs cycle
electron transport chain

Question 3

in which process of the four aerobic cellular respiration steps is CO2 released?

Answer 3

transition reaction, citric acid cycle

Question 4

In what part of the cell is carbon dioxide
released during cellular respiration?

Answer 4

mitochondria

Question 5

In which process(es) is oxygen needed?

Answer 5

cellular respiration and oxidative phosphorylation

Question 6

what is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Answer 6

serves as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain

Question 7

In what kind of molecule does an oxygen atom in
the oxygen gas you inhale end up?

Answer 7

Can be unchanged or turns into a water molecule

Question 8

In what kinds of molecule(s) is a carbon atom part of
just before you exhale it from your body?

Answer 8

carbon dioxide

Question 9

What is the role of glucose in cellular
respiration? Pyruvate? Acetyl CoA? NADH? FADH2? oxygen? carbon dioxide? water?

Answer 9

glucose is the primary energy source and it is broken down into pyruvate through glycolysis

pyruvate is the end of glycolysis and it enters the mitochondria to be converted into Ace-COA

Ace-COA enters the Krebs cycle to generate electron carriers (NADH/FADH2)

oxygen becomes the final electron acceptor and combines with hydrogen ions/electrons to form water.

carbon dioxide is released as a waste product

Question 10

In which process(es) of cellular respiration is ATP synthesized?

Answer 10

Electron transport chain and glycolysis

Question 11

How many carbon
dioxides are released from the cellular respiration of 1 glucose molecule?

Answer 11

4

Question 12

Approximately
how many ATP are produced from the cellular respiration of 1 glucose molecule?

Answer 12

36-38

Question 13

Approximately how many ATP are synthesized from the energy of 1 NADH molecule?

Answer 13

3

Question 14

how many ATP are synthesized from energy of one FADH molecule

Answer 14

2

Question 15

What is the role of ATP synthase in cellular respiration?

Answer 15

to produce ATP

Question 16

electron transport chain is the same thing as oxidative phosphorylation T/F

Answer 16

T
