Unit Test: cells Flashcards
What is aerobic respiration
Process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen
Active transport
Active transport is the movement of a substance from low concentration to high concentration
(against its concentration gradient)
What does aerobic respiration produce how many
Roughly 36 ATP
Where does aerobic respiration occur
The mitochondria
What is the first step in aerobic respiration
Glycolysis
What is the second step in aerobic respiration
Citric acid cycle
Is the third process in aerobic respiration
Electron transport system
What is aerobic respiration used for
Working your muscles, growth and repair of cells, building a larger molecules from smaller ones, allowing chemicals are reactions to take place, absorbing molecules and active transport, keeping your body temperature constant, sending messages along or’s
Define anaerobic respiration
A form of respiration using electronic transports other than oxygen
Which cells use anaerobic respiration
Mostly in prokaryotes
What are the stages of anaerobic respiration
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
Product of anaerobic respiration
Carbon dioxide, ATP
Where is anaerobic respiration located
Mitochondria
What is ATP
ATP is considered to be the energy currency of life: high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do
Where is ATP synthesized
Mitochondria
