Mitochondria
What does the mitochondria do?
Break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?
C6H12O6+6O2-----6CO2+6H2O+energy
What is fermintation?
In the absence of oxygen, fermentation realeases energy from food molicules by pructhing ATP
What is the DNA like in the Mitochondria?
It has a double membrane
What are the three steps of Cellular Respiration?
1) glycolosis
2) Kerbs Cycle
3) Electron transport
How many types of fermentations are there?
What is the inner and outer membrane like?
Outer membrane-Smooth
Inner Membrane- convoluted into folds called cristae
What 2 things are needed for cellular respiration?
Oxygen and glucose
What are the the two types of fermintation?
Alcahol and lactid acid
What does the cristae do?
Increases the surface area
What are the three products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What is the alcahol fermintation?
Its like yeast
What is the matrix?
What things are recycled during the process over and over again?
Electron carrier= NADH, NADPH, NFADH, NAD
What is the lactid acid fermintation?
Humans, animals, and bacteria use it. Its in the muscle cells
