Unit 1-Respiration Flashcards
A series of reactions that release the chemical energy stored in glucose
Respiration
Controls the series of respiration reactions
Enzymes
Short term store of chemical energy
ATP
Needed to regenerate ATP
ADP + Pi and energy
Cellular activity that requires energy from ATP
Muscle cell contraction OR cell division OR protein synthesis OR active transport OR transmission of nerve impulses
Site of the first stage of respiration
Cytoplasm
Site of the second stage of aerobic respiration
Mitochondria
Produced first when glucose is broken down in respiration
Pyruvate
End products of aerobic respiration
Water and Carbon Dioxide
Number of ATP molecules produced by the complete breakdown of a glucose molecule in aerobic respiration
38 ATP molecules
Molecule required for aerobic respiration but not fermentation
Oxygen
Site of fermentation in a cell
Cytoplasm
Number of ATP molecules produced per glucose molecule in fermentation
2 ATP molecules
The molecule pyruvate is converted to during fermentation in animal cells
Lactic acid
The molecules pyruvate is converted to during fermentation in plant and yeast cells
Carbon dioxide and ethanol
