Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Respiration
A
the enzyme-controlled process of releasing energy from food
2
Q
Aerobic respiration
A
release of energy from food using oxygen
3
Q
Anaerobic respiration
A
release of energy from food without oxygen
4
Q
occurs in the
A
mitochondria
5
Q
Glycolysis
A
occurs in the cytosol
glucose(6 carbon monosaccharide) broken down into pyruvic acid(3 carbon monosaccharide)
Energy is released as these bonds are broken in form of Hugh energy electrons and protons
NAD+ picks them and becomes NADH
6
Q
Krebs cycle
A
Pyruvic acid broken into Acetyl Coenzyme A
Acetyl CoE A joins with a 4 carbon molecule to form a 6 carbon molecule
It is broken down into 5C and then a 4C
During this high energy electrons are released creating NADH
