six levels of organization of the body

Question 1

cellular respiration steps

Answer 1

1. glycolysis

C6 –> 2ATP + 2P

2. citric acid cycle

P –> 2ATP

3. electron transport chain

+ 36-38 ATP

at end of process, have up to 38 ATP molecules from 1 glucose molecule!

Question 2

ATP purpose

Answer 2

powers cellular activities by giving them energy needed to carry out their functions

Question 3

glycolysis

Answer 3

1st step of cellular resp.

body breaks down a glucose molecule (with six carbon atoms) into 2 pyruvic acid molecules + 2 ATP molecules

Question 4

citric acid cycle

Answer 4

2nd step of cellular resp.

body breaks down the pyruvic acid molecules to create 2 more ATP molecules and release electrons

Question 5

electron transport chain

Answer 5

3rd step of cellular resp.

body uses electrons to produce most of its ATP
