What is the primary energy source of chemical energy in organisms?

A

Glucose

36
Q

Of starch, glycogen, glucose, sucrose, and lactose, which of these are the rest turned into by enzymes in the organism?

A

Glucose

37
Q

What is step 1 of cellular respiration and what does it do?

A

Glycolysis and it splits the glucose molecule in half

38
Q

Where does glycolysis occur and does it need oxygen?

A

Occurs in the cytoplasm outside the mitochondrion and can occur without oxygen

39
Q

What does glucose turn into in glycolysis?

A

2 pyruvic acid molecules, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH

40
Q

What does the NADH made in glycolysis carry that are free for later use?

A

2 hydrogen atoms

41
Q

The two pyruvic molecules made in glycolysis are converted into what?

A

Two other molecules

42
Q

What is the second step of cellular respiration and where does it occur?

A

Krebs Cycle and it takes place in the matrix, or aqueous part, of the mitochondrion

43
Q

The two converted pyruvic molecules enter as how many reactions occur?

A

8 reactions

44
Q

What are the products of the 8 reactions that occur in the Krebs Cycle?

A

6 CO2 released as waste, 2 ATP, and 8 hydrogen atoms and their electrons attached to NADH and FADH2.

45
Q

In the Krebs Cycle what sort of bonds are “tapped” to release energy in steps?

A

High energy bonds

46
Q

After the Krebs Cycle, how many ATP are there?

A

4 ATP

47
Q

The third step of cellular respiration requires what from breathing?

A

Oxygen

48
Q

What is the third step of cellular respiration and where does it occur?

A

Electron transport system and occurs on the cristae, or inner membrane, of the mitochondrion

49
Q

The electron transport system converts energy from hydrogen/proton gradient into what via electron transport chain?

A

ATP

50
Q

How many ATP molecules are made in the ETS?

A

34 ATP

51
Q

What process extracts the most energy or produces the most ATP molecules for cellular respiration?

A

Electron transport system

52
Q

How many ATP are used from one glucose molecule? Each steps gives how many?

A

38 total
2 from glycolysis, 2 from Krebs Cycle, and 34 from ETS

52
Q

Is ATP easily or not easily stored by the body? Why is this?

A

It is not as ATP must be “spent” to make new ATP

53
Q

You use your what in body weight in a typical day?

A

ATP

54
Q

The amount of ATP present in the human body at any given moment would sustain life for only about what?

A

One minute

55
Q

How many ATP are produced per second?

A

10^21 per second

56
Q

How many ATP are produced per second per cell?

A

10-15 million
