Q

What are the two energy carriers in light-dependant reactions?

A

ATP and NADPH.

16
Q

True or false: glycolosis requires oxygen.

A

FALSE. Glycolosis can occur without oxygen, the process is called fermentation. However Kreb’s cycle and the electron transport chain require oxygen to produce energy.

17
Q

What are the two types of fermentation?

A

Alcoholic fermentation (ex: yeast) and lactic acid fermentation (ex: muscle pain)

18
Q

Where does cell respiration occur?

A

In the mitochondria.

19
Q

What are the names of the high energy electron carriers in cell respiration?

A

ADP and NADH

20
Q

After glycolosis, the glucose compound has been converted into two _______.

A

Pyruvic acid.

21
Q

What does anaerobic mean?

A

“Not in air.”

22
Q

What is the name of the compound that is a 2carbon acetyl group combined with a 4 carbo molecule?

A

Citric acid (Kreb’s cycle)

23
Q

What is the net gain of ATP during the complete process of cell respiration?

A

34/36.

24
Q

What is the matrix?

A

The space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
