Harvesting Energy in Cells Flashcards
(42 cards)
Process by which cells break down organic compounds and produce ATP
Cellular respiration
What is the equation for cellular respiration
organic compounds + O2 = CO2 + water + ATP
True or false
Autotrophs and heterotrophs both use cellular respiration
true
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration work together?
The products of cell respiration are the reactants in photosynthesis and the products of photosynthesis are reactants in cellular respiration.
Where does cellular respiration occur?
cytosol of the mitochondria
When given O2 and glucose, cellular respiration produces …
ATP, CO2, H2O
What does photosynthesis use and produce?
it uses CO2 and H2O and produces O2 and glucose
What does cellular respiration use and produce?
It uses O2 and glucose and produces CO2 and H2O
Where is photosynthesis located?
stroma of chloroplast
What are the two possible pathways of a cell getting energy?
Cellular respiration and Fermentation
What is the process of cellular respiration?
organic compounds–>glycolysis –> pyruvic acid + ATP –> aerobic respiration –> CO2 + H2O –> ATP
organic compounds–>glycolysis –> pyruvic acid + ATP –> aerobic respiration –> CO2 + H2O –> ATP (what pathway)
cellular respiration
What is the process of fermentation?
organic compounds –> glycolysis –> pyruvic acid + ATP –> anaerobic pathways –> lactic acid, ethyl alchol, or other compounds
organic compounds –> glycolysis –> pyruvic acid + ATP –> anaerobic pathways –> lactic acid, ethyl alchol, or other compounds (what process)
fermentation
What pathway does glycolysis occur in?
cellular respiration and fermentation
Where is glycolysis located in?
cytosol
What is the net yield of glycolysis?
2 ATP per 1 glucose
What is the process of glycolysis?
Two ATP molecules are used to break glucose into smaller units. A phosphate group is added to the 6 carbon compound. Each three carbon compound reacts with a phosphate group. Hydrogen atoms are transferred to NAD+, producing NADH. Each thrree carbon sugar is converted to a 3 carbon molecule of pyruvate. Four ATP molecules are produced.
When does fermentation occur?
When there is no oxygen
What happens when there is no oxygen?
Fermentation occurs
What is the process of fermentation?
pyruvic acid –> lactic acid, ethyl alcohol, NAD+
what can stop fermentation being used and make glycolysis continue?
when NAD+ is made
What are the two types of fermentation?
lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation
What is the difference between Lactic acid and alcoholic?
Lactic turns pyruvic acid into a three carbon compound while alcoholic turn pyruvic into ethyl alcohol and CO2
