ALL is relative
This digestive macromolecule is broken down into glucose, which becomes the primary fuel for cellular respiration.
What are carbohydrates?
large, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs
diaphram
Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell
Mitochondria
How is fermentation different from cellular respiration?
Fermtation happens without oxygen
What does ATP stand for (entire name)?
& What is it do?
Adenosine Triphosphate &
The molecule that provides energy for a cell’s activities
In spiders, oxygen diffuses directly into this circulating fluid instead of traveling through closed blood vessels like in humans.
What is hemolymph?
This structure prevents food from entering the trachea during swallowing.
What is the epiglottis?
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration (in order)
- Glycolysis
- Krebs Cycle
- Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Name the 2 types of anaerobic respiration (fermentation)
Lactic Acid Fermentation
&
Alcoholic Fermentation
Carbonic anhydrase speeds up the conversion of carbon dioxide and water in the blood without being consumed. What type of molecule is it?
What is an enzyme (protein)?
Breathing rate increasing during exercise is an example of maintaining this characteristic of life.
What is homeostasis?
These two branching tubes carry air from the trachea into each lung.
What are the bronchi?
Formula for Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2—> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP Energy
Fermenting veggies in sealed jars will produce bubbles. What gas are the bubbles made of?
Carbon Dioxide
Which band sings the 1999 hit song “All the Small Things”?
Blink-182
Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the bloodstream through which passive transport process
Diffusion
What are two advantages of terrestrial life regarding gas exchange?
higher concentration of O2
O2 & CO2 diffuse much faster through air
air is much lighter than water & therefore much easier to pump
expend less energy moving air in & out
When do our bodies do cellular respiration?
All of the time.
In yeast cells, what chemical is produced during fermentation?
Alcohol
This type of blood cell increases in number during aerobic training to improve oxygen delivery.
What are red blood cells?
What is the name of the theory which suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once independent prokaryotic cells?
Endosymbiotic theory
Alveoli are surrounded by which blood vessel?
Capillary
If cyanide blocks the final protein in the electron transport chain, this immediate effect would occur.
What is ATP production stopping?
Fermentation is considered evolutionarily ancient because it occurs in this cellular location and does not require membrane-bound organelles.
What is the cytoplasm?
How do the structures of alveoli and mitochondria demonstrate the concept of 'form follows function' reguarding surface area?
Mitochondria: Folded inner membrane (cristae) → dramatically increases surface area.
Alveoli:Many small sacs instead of one large sac → massively increases total surface area.
