respiration Flashcards
we need energy for
•movement and growth
equation for respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6H20 + 6CO2 + energy
where is energy stored
•in the bonds of the glucose molecule
aerobic respiration
•the controlled release of energy from food using oxygen
ATP
•a molecule that can trap and release energy like a rechargeable battery
NADH
•a molecule that can carry two high energy electrons and a proton
goal of respiration
•make lots of NADH then use this to make lots of ATP, be breathe out CO2
what is the bi product of respiration
•CO2
name of stage 1,
where does it occur,
anaerobic or aerobic
•glycolysis
•cytosol
•anaerobic
what happens in glycolysis
•glucose (6 carbon molecules) is split in half to form two 3 carbon molecules called pyruvate
•ATP and NADH are formed
•does not require oxygen
is stage 2 anaerobic or aerobic
•aerobic
stage 2
•pyruvate moves to mitochondria (only if there’s oxygen present)
•mitochondria is special organelle that can produce lots of energy
•pyruvate broken down into 2 carbon molecule called Acetyl CoA
•CO2 and NADH formed but NO ATP
krebs cycle
•in mitochondria
•acetyl coa goes through krebs cycle (series of reactions)
•lots of NADH formed, a little ATP formed and a little CO2 formed
where is the electron transport chain
•in the cristae of the mitochondria
electron transport chain
•high energy electrons in NADH are passed along a series of electron acceptors
•as they pass, lots of ATP forms
•electrons react with oxygen at the end and form water
anaerobic respiration
•the release of energy from food without oxygen
