Glycolysis
glucose is split into 2 molecules of what during glycolysis
pyruvate
The energy molecule used by all cells
ATP
Where does the citric acid cycle take place?
In the mitochondrial Matrix
the number of ATP produced if ALL of aerobic cellular respiration is completed
34-38
3.5 steps of aerobic cellular respiration
Glycolysis, prep-reaction, Citric acid cycle, Electron Transfer Chain
the part of the cell where glycolysis occurs
the cytoplasm
The waste product that is a gas from cellular respiration
CO2
overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ ATP)
reason why aerobic respiration is preferred over anaerobic respiration
aerobic respiration makes more ATP
purpose of cellular respiration
produce energy for cellular work in the form of ATP
The net yield of ATP produced during glycolysis
2 molecules of ATP
Oxidation is when....
What are the names of the 2 temporary energy molecules that carry electrons to the ETC
NAD+ and FADH
when would humans perform anaerobic cellular respiration
when oxygen is not readily available in environment, or when they are exercising heavily
the step of aerobic cellular respiration that produces the most ATP
Electron Transport Chain
for humans, where glucose that is used for glycolysis comes from
from food that is eaten
What important molecule is not produced in pyruvate oxidation?
ATP!
Net yield of the Citric acid Cycle
2 FADH2, 6 NADH, 2 ATP
Cyanide affects which stage of cellular respiration?
Electron Transport Chain, bonus: the last intermembrane protein that allows Oxygen to accept the electron.
place where chemical energy is stored in ATP
In the chemical bonds, specifically the p-p~p bond
an organism that conducts lactic acid fermentation
Any animal
Which of the reactions need oxygen and WHY?
pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle - make CO2
ETC- final electron acceptor/make H2O
purpose of NADH and FADH2 donating electrons to channel proteins is to...
generate electrochemical gradient by pumping H+ ions
what acts as the final electron acceptor in the ETC, keeping electrons moving, maintaining the H+ concentration gradient
oxygen
kind of biomolecule ATP is
Nucleic Acid
