Unit 5: Cellular Respiration

Question 1

What is anabolic?

Answer 1

complex compounds are built from simpler molecules

Question 2

What is catabolic?

Answer 2

Complex compounds are broken down into simpler molecules

Question 3

What is a process without oxygen?

Answer 3

Anaerobic

Question 4

What is a process with oxygen?

Answer 4

Aerobic

Question 5

What is the overall purpose of cellular respiration?

Answer 5

To convert the chemical energy stored in glucose into ATP

Question 6

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Answer 6

C6H12O6 + 6O2
–> 6CO2 + 6H2O + HEAT + ATP

Question 7

What is the glycolysis stage?

Answer 7

• this stage occurs in the cytoplasm
• this stage splits glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid
• this stage requires an investment of 2 ATP to get started
• occurs in the cytoplasm

Question 8

What is the Kreb’s Cycle?

Answer 8

• this stage releases CO2 which we eventually exhale though our lungs
• this stage produces the most NADG and FADH2
• this occurs in the mitochondrial matrix

Question 9

What is the electron transport chain?

Answer 9

• this stage produced the most ATP(about 34 molecules of ATP)
• this stage produces water and ATP
• this occurs in the mitochondria inner membrane mom

Question 10

What is the ATP synthase?

Answer 10

The enzyme in the inner membrane of the mitochondria used to produce ATP
