Ooga Booga 3 Respiration Glycolysis Etc.. Flashcards
The inner membrane of the mitochondria
Cristae
Fluid portion of the mitochondria
Matrix
A series of reactions where fats proteins and carbohydrates, mostly glucose are broken down to make Co2 water and energy
Cellular respiration
Equation for cellular respiration
C6-H12-O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Cellular respiration is used to create what main energy source?
ATP
Primary food source of all cellular energy
Glucose
Reactions that require oxygen
Aerobic
Reactions that don’t require oxygen
Anaerobic
All types of cellular respiration begin with this process
Glycolysis
Where does glycolysis take place
In the cytoplasm
Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two molecules of what?
Pyruvic acid
Does glycolysis require oxygen
No
What is the net energy production of glycolysis
2 ATP and 2 NADH
Is pyruvate oxidized before or after the Krebs cycle
Before
How many glucose molecules does it take to make 2 pyruvic acid
