What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process through which cells convert sugars (glucose) into energy (ATP)
What is the first stage of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
What is this organelle?
mitochondria
Where does glycolysis occur?
In the cytoplasm
Example of organism that performs alcoholic fermentation
yeast, some bacteria
Opposite of cell respiration
photosynthesis
What is the second stage of cellular respiration?
Krebs Cycle / Citric Acid Cycle
Where does the Krebs cycle take place?
Mitochondrial matrix
What are the outputs for cellular respiration?
Co2, water, and energy
What is anaerobic cellular respiration? What is another name for it?
Cellular respiration without the presence of oxygen; fermentation
What is B?
What process takes place inside this organelle?
What is the third stage of cellular respiration?
Electron transport chain
Is glycocysis anaerobic or aerobic?
Anaerobic
Name the molecule that is broken down into glycolysis.
Name what it is broken down into.
Glucose is broken into pyruvate.
Reactants of electron transport chain
NADH, FADH2, O2
What is the purpose of ATP?
ATP is a molecule that carries energy within cells
What is ADP?
De-energized ATP
Why is aerobic respiration preferred to anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration releases more ATP
What is another name for anaerobic cellular respiration? Name the two types.
Fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation
Where does the electron transport chain occur?
Inner membrane
The overall equation of cellular respiration
O2 + Glucose -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
If Cellular Respiration can't occur, what is the backup plan?
anaerobic respiration/ Fermentation
Which stage of cellular respiration releases the most ATP?
The 3rd stage—electron transport chain.
What are the three parts of an ATP molecule
1. adenine
2. ribose
3. phosphate
Adenosine triphosphate
How does ATP release energy?
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP, energy is released. What is left is ADP, which stands for adenosine diphosphate.
