What do organisms convert glucose to
ATP
What is the process of converting glucose to Atp
Cell respiration
What are the 2 kinds of cell repiration
Aerobic and anaerobic
What is the cell respiration equation
C6H12O6+6O2—-> CO2+H2O+ATP
What is being cycled through respiration and photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide
Where does Cell respiration occur
Mitochondria
What does Mitochondria make
ATP
what happens in the Redox Reaction
Glucose loses its hydrogen atoms and is ultimately converted to CO2
What is the loss of electrons called
Oxidation
What is the gain of electrons called
reduction
Who are the electron carriers
NADH and FADH2
where does glycolysis occur
Cytoplasm
What the first step in respiration
Glycolysis
What stage forms NADH
Glycolysis
What id the Krebs Cycle aka
The critic acid cycle
What stage breaks down pyruvate into CO2 and supplies the 3rd stage with electrons
Krebs cycle
Where does the krebs cycle occur
mitochondria
what stage does NADH and FADH2 get produced
Citric acid cycle
What is Oxidative phosphorylation aka
Electron transport chain
During what stage is electrons shuttled through the electron transport chain
Oxidative phosphorylation
Where does the electron transport chain occur
inner mitochondria membrane
What id the final electron acceptor and form water
Oxygen
What do all 3 different categories of cellular poisons that affect cellular respiration have in common
They disrupt Oxidative phosphorylation
