Unit 3: Concept 5 - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is the goal of cellular respiration?
convert chemical energy and store in ATP
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6H2O + 6CO2
What are the reactants and products of cellular respiration?
R: C6H12O6 and O2,
P: CO2 and H2O
What are the 2 parts that the mitochondria made up of?
Inner membrane: folded membrane,
Matrix: fluid-like structure that fills the space
What is glycolysis?
first stage, breaking of glucose
What is the purpose of glycolysis?
Split 6-C into 2 3-C molecules, converts glucose to pyruvate
What is the location of glycolysis?
cytoplasm
What is the type of respiration of glycolysis?
anaerobic
What are the products of glycolysis?
2 ATP and 2 NADH
Where will the cell go after glycolysis if oxygen is present?
aerobic respiration
Where will the cell go after glycolysis if oxygen is not present?
anaerobic respiration AKA fermentation
What is aerobic respiration also called?
citric acid cycle, krebs cycle
What is the purpose of aerobic respiration?
make electron carries NADH and FADH2 to move on to the ETC
What is the location of aerobic respiration?
mitochondrial matrix
What is the process of aerobic respiration?
2 pyruvate that are chemically converted to 2 ATP
What is the location of the electron transport chain?
inner membrane of mitochondria (cristae)
What is the process of the electron transport chain?
reactions using e-, carried by NADH and FADH2
What is lactic acid fermentation?
occurs in some bacteria and animal cells, pyruvate converts into lactic acid
What is alcohol fermentation?
occurs in yeast, pyruvate broken down into alcohol, CO2, and 2 ATP
What is the total ATP in aerobic respiration?
36-38
What is the total ATP in anaerobic respiration?
2-4
