Mitochondrial Respiration Flashcards
A partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2
Fermentation
Consumes organic molecules and O2 and yields ATP
Aerobic respiration
In ____, a substance loses electrons
oxidation
In ____, a substance gains electrons
reduction
The electron donor is called the ____ agent
reducing
The electron receptor is called the ____ agent
Oxidizing
Passes electrons in a series of steps instead of one explosive reaction
The electron transport chain
The three steps of cellular respiration
- Glycolysis
- The citric acid cycle
- Oxidative phosphorolation
Bbreaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate
Glycolysis
The two phases of glycolysis
- Energy investment phase
- Energy payoff phase
Which produces more ATP?
Cellular respiration or fermentation?
Cellular respiration (32)
Fermentation (2)
Carry out fermentation or anaerobic respiration and cannot survive in the presence of O2
Obligate anaerobes
