Topic 5.1 - aerobic respiration. 5.2 - Glycolysis 5.3 - Link reaction Flashcards
what does ATP stand for?
Adosine Triphosphate
what are the 2 types of cellular respiration?
- aerobic
- anaerobic
aerobic?
- involving/requiring oxygen
Anaerobic?
It’s the process your cells use when there’s no oxygen available, but they still need to make some ATP for energy. It’s a bit less efficient than aerobic respiration
what is cellular respiration
process which takes energy from food and turns it into ATP
what is the basic unit of life
a cell
why does a cell need energy?
- to carry out many metabollic processes
where does the energy for cells come from?
- energy comes from the chemical bonds in molecules
equation for aerobic respiration?
word and number
glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
C6H12O6 + O2 = CO2 = H2O + ATP
what kind of reaction is aerobic respiration?
exothermic/endothermic
- exothermic
substrate?
used in a reaction/reactants
what is the name for ingredients used in respiration (reactants)
- respiratory substrate
where is energy stored
in bonds
draw ATP
how is energy made?
what bonds break? btwn what?
what catalyses?
- when covalent bonds break btwn the 2 phosphate bonds
- catalysed by the enxyme ATPase
can an aerobic respiration reaction be reversed?
yes
- use energy from food to ‘recharge’ ATP
wheredoes aerobic respiration happen?
mitochondria
where does anaerobic respiration happen?
cytoplasm
OILRIG
Oxidastion is loss of e, gain of O2, loss of H+, Reduction is gain of e, lossof O2, gain of H+
hydrogen is on par with what happens to electrons here
what else could happens in Oxidation?
- loses Hydrogen
- could gain some Oxygen
hydrogen is on par with what happens to electrons here
What else could happens in reduction
- gain Hydrogen
- Could lose some Oxygen
where does glycolysis happen?
cytoplasm
whats the aim of the link reaction
- to take 2 pyruvate in to mitochondria
Aerobic respiration is a chain of reactions.
name the different reactions that happen
- glycolysis
- link reaction
- Kreb’s cycle
- Electron chain reaction
