Cellular Respiration I
What are the steps of aerobic cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Citric Acid Cycle & Electron Transfer Chain
The energy molecule used by all cells
ATP
The number of ATP produced if aerobic cellular respiration is completed is?
30-32
when would humans perform anaerobic cellular respiration
when they are exercising heavily
What step of aerobic cellular respiration produces the most ATP?
Electron Transport Chain
Glucose gets splitted into what 2 molecules during glycolysis?
pyruvate
What is the location where citric acid cycle takes place?
Mitochondria Matrix
reason why aerobic respiration is preferred over anaerobic respiration
aerobic respiration makes more ATP
Where in the cell does glycolysis occurs?
the cytoplasm
What needs to be present for aerobic cellular respiration?
oxygen
purpose of cellular respiration
produce energy for cellular work in the form of ATP
for humans, where glucose that is used for glycolysis comes from
from food that is eaten
The net amount of ATP produced during glycolysis?
2
What are the names of the 2 temporary energy molecules that carry electrons to the ETC
NAD+ and FADH
overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ ATP)
reactants for glycolysis
glucose & 2 ATP
