Respiration Flashcards
Advantage of ATP as energy source
Energy is available for immediate use
Nitrogenous base and sugar in ATP
Nitrogenous base-adenine
Sugar-ribose
Aerobic respiration
C6H12O6+6O2————>6CO2+6H2O+energy
Glucose storage polysaccharide and location
Glycogen
Location:liver
3 products of the Krebs cycle
- NADH
- ATP
- CO2
Final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration
Oxygen
3-carbon molecule
Pyruvic acid
Pathway where pyruvic acid is produced
Glycolysis
Pyruvate
-Converted to Acetyl CoA in stage 2 where it loses co2 molecule
-Krebs cycle:energy released from Acetyl CoA in form of high energy electrons which combine with NAD+ to for NADH
Electron transport system:low energy electrons combine with oxygen and hydrogen to form H2O
Fate of pyruvate when no oxygen is available
Muscle-lactic acid
Yeast-ethanol and co2
Stage 1 and location
Glycolysis and cytosol
Stage 2 and location
Krebs cycle and lumen of mitochondria
Stage 3 and location
Electron transport chain and cristae
Function of water
Transport
Medium for all chemical reactions
2 processes which require ATP
