General Cell Respiration
Steps of Cell Respiration
Anaerobic Respiration
100
The function of cellular respiration is to produce what?
ATP - the cell's energy currency
100
What is the first stage of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
100
Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that does not require what?
Oxygen
anaerobic = without oxygen
200
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert _________________ into energy.
Glucose
200
What is the second stage of cellular respiration?
Krebs cycle / Citric acid cycle
200
________ is a type of anaerobic respiration that occurs when there is not enough oxygen available.
Fermentation
300
Which organelle is associated with cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
300
What is the third stage of cellular respiration?
Electron transport chain / oxidative phosphorylation
300
What substance do yeast produce when they carry out fermentation?
Ethanol
fun fact: when making bread, yeast is added to the dough and undergoes fermentation, making the dough rise. when the dough is placed in the oven, the ethanol is cooked off
400
Finish the equation for cell respiration:
Glucose + Oxygen -> _____ + _____ + ATP
Glucose + Oxygen -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
400
Where is the majority of ATP produced during cell respiration?
(Last stage) Electron transport chain / oxidative phosphorylation
400
Humans undergo what type of fermentation when the muscles don't have enough oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation
500
During glycolysis, one glucose molecule gets broken down into what 2 molecules of what ?
Glucose -> 2 pyruvate

What is the name of the protein that uses a proton gradient in the electron transport chain to make ATP?
ATP Synthase
