Respiration Flashcards
Reduce
Taking in an electron
Oxidize
Losing an electron
Wavelength
The distance between crest
ATP
Usable energy of a cell.
Cell respiration
The process of breaking down food to make energy
Cell respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ➡️ 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
Glucose
C6H12O6
NAD+
Electron carrier
NADH
The reduced version of NAD+
FADH+
Another electron carrier
NADH2
The reduced version of NADH+
NADH and FADH2 carrier what? where?
They carrier electrons to the electron transport chain
All you should know about the electron transport chain
Once NADH and FADH2 reach the electron transport chain the oxidize back to their original form (NAD+ and FADH+). Also, the electrons are passed to series of carriers, each carrier has a stronger attraction for an electron than the other. O2 is the end carrier.
