lab #6 Flashcards
what is a monosaccharide that can be used with oxygen in cellular respiration to produce ATP
glucose
what is a molecule that provides energy to power many cellular reactions?
ATP
what is a multistep process that requires oxygen?
aerobic cellular respiration
what is the first step of aerobic cellular respiration?
glycolysis
where does glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
what are the next steps in aerobic cellular respiration?
the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain
where do the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain take place?
the mitochondria
at the end of the electron transport chain, oxygen is consumed and reduced to form water when it accepts what?
electrons
what splits glucose into 3 carbon pyruvate molecules?
glycolysis
what’s the term for something beginning to grow?
germinating
what is used to absorb any carbon dioxide produced in an experiment?
potassium hydroxide (KOH)
what will not soak up KOH?
polyester
what is produced by the process of fermentation by plants and yeasts, and is called alcoholic fermentation?
ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide
in bacteria and animal cells, what do they produce when the oxygen gets too low by undergoing fermentation in the cytoplasm?
lactic acid
what must all sugars be converted to before the molecular reaction process can begin?
glucose, since it is the starting molecule for all these reactions
