What is cellular respiration?
Cells break down macromolecules ( glucose) to produce ATP
How many turns of the Krebs Cycle are needed for 1 glucose molecule?
4
What is ATP? What is its function?
Energy for the cell
How is breathing related to cell respiration?
Breathing provides O2, which is needed for cellular respiration
What are the mitochondria?
Organelles within eukaryotic cells generate ATP
What is fermentation?
Process by which cells release energy in the absence of O2
What are the two types of fermentation?
Alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation
How is cellular respiration related to photosynthesis?
Their reactants and products are opposite to each other
What is Anaerobic respiration?
Metabolic process in which cells release energy in the absence of O2
What are some commercial uses of fermentation?
Yeast, pickles, wine, and yogurt
Which ocean has more coastline, the Pacific or the Atlantic?
The Pacific
What are the three steps/processes within cellular respiration?
Step one- glycolysis, step 2- Krebs cycle, step 3 electron transport chain (AKA oxidative phosphorylation)
Which fermentation were we observing during the lab?
Alcoholic fermentation, in the form of yeast
What is the main electron carrier in cellular respiration?
NAD+ and FAD
Which African country is the world’s smallest by land area?
Seychelles
Roughly how much total ATP is produced during the entire process of cellular respiration? What step produces the majority of ATP for the cell?
30-38ATP is produced, and the electron transport chain produces the most ATP
What popular tourist destination was once called “The Island of Swine”?
Cuba
What are the reactants and products for cellular respiration? What is the equation?
products-atp, water, CO2 reactants- glucose, O2
What Icelandic geothermal location shares the same name as a 1980 film?
The blue lagoon
What are some uses of ATP in the body?
muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and active transport
What do the terms aerobic and anaerobic mean?
Aerobic requires oxygen; NADPH is produced and transferred to ECT. Anaerobic doesn't need oxygen.
What are some of the structures within the mitochondria?
Inner membrane, outer membrane, inner membrane space, cristae, matrix.
What are the products (electron carriers/CO2/Water), location, and number of ATP produced in each of the following steps?
Glycolysis- 2ATP molecules
Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle- 2 ATP
Electron Transport Chain-24-34 ATP
