Respiration Flashcards
name of nitrogenous base in ATP
Adenine
name of sugar present in ATP
Ribose
name the two processes in respiration
aerobic / anerobic
where is stage 1 and stage 2 of aerobic respiration
in cytosol and mitochondrion
what does ADP require to produce ATP
energy
What does NAD stand for
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
what happens ion glycolysis/ what does it involve
it involves splitting 6-carbon glucose molecules into 3-carbon pyruvate molecules
what happens in the Krebs cycle with Acetyl-CoA
4 carbon molecules combined with Acetyl-CoA makes 6 carbon molecules. this will then turns into a 5 carbon molecule by releasing one carbon dioxide then turns into a 4 carbon carbon molecules while releasing Co2 which is then used for NADH
what is the purpose of the krebs cycle
to make NADH
name of 3 carbon molecule used is a compound in aerobic and anaerobic respiration
pyruvate molecules
what compound has 6 / 3 / 2 atoms
glucose / pyruvate / Acetyl coa
advantage of ATP
reusable
two substances that pyruvate is broken down into in anaerobic respiration
lactic acid / ethanol
processes where ATP occurs in cells
respiration / photosynthesis
what is fermentation
anaerobic respiration
