Cellular Respiration
What process cells convert nutrients into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
Cellular Respiration
What occurs in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration
What does aerobic respiration requires?
oxygen
By products are carbon dioxide and water
Aerobic Respiration
What is the energy currency of the cell, used for all cellular functions?
ATP
Where is Aerobic respiration taken place in?
Mitochondria
in the cytoplasm
What does anaerobic respiration requires?
the absence of oxygen
animals and yeast are in the category of what?
Anaerobic Respiration
How many types of cellular respiration are there?
Two
When Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen what does it prodce?
ATP, Carbon Dioxide, Water
What is broken down without oxygen to produce ATP?
Glucose
What is crucial for the complete oxidation of glucose
oxygen
what's in animals
lactic acids
What are the main types of cellular respiration?
aerobic & anaerobic
What symbols represent carbon dioxide and water?
The symbol for carbon dioxide is CO2 and the symbol for water is H2O.
What is the main advantage of anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic Respiration lets organisms live in places where there is little to no oxygen.
What type of oxygen delivery device is used?
nasal cannula or face mask
what's in yeast?
What is the chemical equation that describes cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP).
What are the three main stages of aerobic respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain.
What is the role of NADH in anaerobic respiration?
In anaerobic respirations, NADH acts as a crucial electron carrier, donating electrons to regenerate NAD+ which is necessary for glycolysis to continue producing a small amount of ATP, even in the absence of oxygen
What is the required oxygen flow rate for the patient?
2 to 6 liters per minute for a nasal cannula, and 5 to 10 liters per minute for a simple face mask
what is converted back to glucose in the liver?
Lactic acid
