Respiration Flashcards
Give an example of external Respiration
Breathing
Give an example of internal Respiration
Release of energy from food
What does glucose split into
Pyruvate
What is Anaerobic Respiration
The release of energy from food without O2
What does Anaerobic Respiration cause in muscles
Lactic acid
What is the process of ethanol and CO2
Fermentation
What is the net production of ATP’s in anerobic respiration
2
If oxygen is present where does the pyruvate enter
Mitochondrion
When the pyruvate looses a carbon (C) what does it form
Acetyl Co enzyme A
What are the 2 lost high energy electrons picked up by
NAD and NADH
Where are lost high energy electrons brought to
The electron carrier system
What do electrons produce at the end of the Kerbs cycle
ATP’s
What is Acetyl Co enzyme A broken down into (3)
H+, high energy electron and CO2
When electrons loose energy what do they convert
ADP to ATP
At the end of the kerbs cycle, What is used to form water
H+ and Oxygen
What is the net production of ATP’s after the kerbs cycle
38
What is biotechnology
The use of living organisms to produce useful substances
Name an example of biotechnology
Bacteria to human insulin
Where does most bioprocessing occur
Vessels called bioreactors
What does it mean when bioprocessing is batch
This is when the substrate is left alone after the initial adding until the end of the process
How are micro organisms prevented from being lost
They are often immobilized or bonded in gel
What an advantage of immobilized gels
They can be easily re used on low cost
