Unit 8 Quiz Flashcards
cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP) (38 ATP total energy)
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + ATP
CO2 production in embryos
CO2 + H2O —-> H2CO3 (Carbonic acid)
phenol red color change
red at neutral pH
yellow at acidic pH
fermentation (anaerobic process)
measure CO2
glucose —-> ethanol + CO2 + ATP
cellular respiration can be broken down into three sets of chemical reactions
- glycolysis
- kreb’s cycle (citric acid cycle)
- Electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation)
glycolysis
glucose + 2ATP = pyruvic acid + 4 ATP
glycolysis is an
anaerobic reaction.
glycolysis takes place in the
cytosol of the cell
for every 1 molecule of glucose you get the production of
2 new molecules of ATP.
remember you had to use 2 to start the chemical reaction
there are special types of glycolysis called
fermentation
alcohol fermentation
organisms such as yeast ferment the sugars in fruits or grains to make ATP for themselves.
The out come of alcohol fermentation is 3 products
carbon dioxide gas
ATP
ethyl alcohol
lactate fermentation
takes place in your muscle cells. When you are exercising strenuously or doing some aerobic activity and you push your muscles to their limit, then they will start creating more energy (ATP) by non-aerobic means.
The product of this reaction is lactic acid and results in very sore muscles
Kreb’s Cycle
In the kreb’s cycle Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetic acid to make citric acid. During this process ATP is made and also another energy rich electron carrier called NADH.
The kreb’s cycle takes place in the
mitochondria of your cells in an area called the matrix.
