atp
how are the glucose molecules converted into ATP?
either aerobic or anaerobic processes
what makes up atp
consists of ddenine, a nitrogen base, ribose, a 5-carbon sugar, and a chain of 3 phosphate groups.
what is the electron transport chain and where does it occur?
where the NADH and FADH from the krebs cycle are transferred via proteins, making 30-40 ATP and 6 water molecules, in mitochondrial membrane
define anaerobic cellular respiration and how it works
essentially, glucose from photosynthesis (without oxygen) is broken down into pyruvate, making 2 ATP and 2 NADH by phosphorylation (2 phosphates from ATP are added to 6 carbon glucose, then further broken down into 1 and 3 via lysis). then those pyruvates enter either alchohol or lactic acid fermentation. produces less atp than aerobic
what is atp
adonesine triphosphate
define aerobic cellular respiration
where glucose and oxygen produced during photosynthesis are further converted into 30-40 ATP, water, and CO2, using oxygen. it does this by taking that oxygen and glucose, and converting it using 3 steps
what is alchohol fermentation? what does it do? how and where does it occur?
its where through glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate, then into ethonal. also regenerates NAD+ to later produce more atp. occurs with yeast
what is adp
adonesine diphosphate
what are those 3 steps of aerobic respiration?
glycolysis, krebs cycle, and electron transport chain
what is lactic acid fermentation? what does it do? how and where does it occur?
it starts after glycolysis, where 2 pyruvates are made. those pyruvates are then converted into lactic acid via accepting electrons from NADH, ultimately to regenerate NAD+ to make more atp
whats the difference?
atp and 3 phosphates, adp has 2
whats glycolysis and how does it work?
either an aerobic or anaerobic respiration process in which inside the cytoplasm of the cell, glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvates, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH
why is this relevant?
because energy is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate, therefore adp would have less energy
whats the krebs cycle and where does it occur?
this stage occurs in the mitochondria and processes the 2 pyruvate into carbon dioxide, generating ATP, NADH, and FADHâ‚‚ through oxidizing acety-COA in the mitochondrial matrix. makes oxygen
