Intro to Cell Respiration and Glycolysis Flashcards
What are the steps of Aerobic cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Pyruvate Oxidation, the Citric Acid cycle, and ETC and Chemiosmosis
Effects of low O2
What is aerobic cellular respiration?
The aerobic process that converts glucose into ATP
Aerobic requires
Oxygen gas
Where do most stages of cellular respiration happen?
Mitochondria
What is the reaction for cellular respiration?
Glucose+O2 –> CO2+H2O+ATP
What is glycolysis? What does glucose get broken down into?
The first step of cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into pyruvate
What gets oxidized in cell resp? What is the end product?
glucose, CO2
What gets reduced in cell resp? What is the end product?
Oxygen, H2O
How does cellular respiration break down glucose?
It uses oxygen, which forms ATP and makes CO2 and H2O as byproducts
Which steps of cell resp happen in the mitochondria?
Pyrivate oxidation, Kreb cycle, ETC/Chemiosmosis
Where does glycolysis take place?
Cytoplasm
What does glycolysis break down? What is the end result?
Glucose, 2 pyruvate molecules,
How many carbon atoms does glucose have?
6
How many Carbon atoms does pyruvate have?
3
What happens to the Carbon in glucose?
It gets converted into CO2
Which stage of cell resp is anaerobic?
Glycolysis
What are the phases of glycolysis?
Energy investment and energy harvest
How many ATP molecules are invested into glycolysis? What do you get out of them?
2, 2 ADP
What are the net products of glycolysis?
2 NADH, 2 ATP (4 ATP total, but 2 invested into process)
Where do the 2 pyruvates made in glycolysis go?
The mitochondria
