Unit 1 reparation Flashcards
Resperation
Chemical reaction stored in glucose being released by all cella through a series of enzyme controlled reactions
Begins in cytoplasm
Resperation ATP
The energy released from the breakdown of glucose is to generate ATP.
The energy transferred by ATP can be used for cellular activities
Cellular activities
Muscle cell contraction
Cell division
Protein synthesis
Transmission of nerve impulses
Areobic reperation
Glucose is broken down to 2 molecules of pyravate, releasing enough energy to yeild 2 molecules of ATP
If oxegen is present aerobic Resperation takes place
Each pyravate is broken down to carbon dioxide + water
Releasing enough energy to yeild a large number ATP
Word summery aerobic resperation
Glucose + oxegen ——> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Fermentation pathway
Glucose is broken down to 2 molecules of pyravate , releasing enough energy to yeild 2 molecules of ATP
Absence of oxegen
Fermentation in animals
The pyravate molecules are converted into lactate
Pyravate that breaks down
Glucose ——> lactate + energy
Fermentation in plants
Yeast cell are converted into carbon dioxide and ethanol
Glucose ——> carbon dioxide + ethanol
Where does fermentation take place
Cytoplasm
Where does arrobic resperation take place
Mitochondria
What is resperation controlled by
Enzymes
