does glycolysis release a small or large amount of energy?
|
small
|
|
the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
|
cellular respiration
|
|
what is the equation for cellular respiration?
|
glucose + 6 Oxygen --> 6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water + 6 Energy
|
|
respiration occurs in how many stages?
|
3
|
|
why can't cellular respiration all happen at once?
|
most of the energy would be lost in the form of light and heat
|
|
the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3 carbon compound.
|
glycolysis
|
|
does glycolysis require oxygen?
|
no
|
|
the product of glycolysis; a 3 carbon compound
|
pyruvic acid
|
|
for every 2 ATP it invests, the cell yields how many ATP?
|
4
|
|
in NADH production, how many electrons are passed to NAD+?
|
4
|
|
what are 2 advantages of glycolysis?
|
cells can produce thousands of ATP molecules in a few milliseconds; glycolysis doesnt require oxygen
|
|
follows glycolysis and produces ATP when oxygen is not present
|
fermentaion
|
|
during fermentation, cells convert ____ to ____ by passing high energy electrons back to ____________
|
NADH to NAD+; pyruvic acid
|
|
process that does not require oxygen
|
anaerobic
|
|
used by yeast, forms ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide as waste products
|
alcoholic fermentation
|
|
what uses alcoholic fermentation and what are its waste products?
|
yeast; ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide
|
|
process that regenerates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue
|
lactic acid fermentation
|
|
where is lactic acid produced?
|
in your muscles during rapid exercise
|
|
what organisms produce lactic acid as a waste product?
|
unicellular organisms
|
|
what is the equation for alcoholic fermentation?
|
pyruvic acid + NADH --> Alcohol + Carbon Dioxide + NAD+
|
|
What is the equation for lactic acid fermentation
|
pyruvic acid + NADH --> Lactic Acid + NAD+
|
|
who was the Krebs Cycle named after and when did he discover it?
|
Hans Krebs who discovered it in 1937
|
|
pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracting reactions in what cycle?
|
Krebs Cycle
|
|
What happens in the production of citric acid?
|
Acetyl-CoA adds a 2 carbon acetyl group to a 4 carbon molecule, producing a 6 carbon compound (citric acid)
|
|
What happens to each of the 3 carbon atoms in pyruvic acid after it is broken down?
|
one becomes a part of a carbon dioxide molecule that is released in the air; the other 2 are joined to a compound called coenzyme A to fom acetyl-CoA
|
|
during the energy extraction part of the Krebs cycle, how many molecules of carbon dioxide are released?
|
2
|
|
what is the energy tally from 1 molecule of pyruvic acid during the Krebs Cycle?
|
4 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 MOLECULE OF ATP
|
|
When electrons join NAD+ and FAD during the Krebs Cycle, what do they form?
|
NADH and FADH2
|
|
uses high energy electrons from the Krebs Cycle to convert ADP to ATP
|
electron trasport chain
|
|
how does the location of the electron transport chain differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
|
in prokaryotes it is in the cell membrane; in eukaryotes it is located in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion
|
|
where does glycolysis take place?
|
cytoplasm
|
|
where do the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport take place?
|
mitochondrion
|
|
is oxygen needed in electron transport and why
|
it is essential because it is the final electron acceptor
|
|
what are the wastes of respiration?
|
low energy electrons and hydrogen ions
|
|
what causes the H+ ions in the intermembrane space to move through the channels in the membrane and out into the matrix?
|
the ATP synthases spin. Each time they rotate, the enzyme grabs a low energy ADP and attaches a phosphate creating ATP
|
|
on average, how many ATP molecules are produced as each par of high-energy electrons moves down the electron transport chain?
|
3
|
|
how many ATP molecules does glycolysis create? Krebs cycle/electron transport chain?

|
|
how many molecules of ATP are produced for each molecule of glucose and what percent of efficiency is it?
|
36; 38%
|
|
what is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration involving energy?
|
photosynthesis deposits energy, respiration withdraws it
|
|
what is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration involving carbon dioxide?
|
photosynthesis removes it from the atmosphere, respiration replaces it
|
|
what is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration involving oxygen?
|
photosynthesis releases oxygen into the air, respiration uses it
|
|
A runner needs more energy for a longer race. How does the body generate the necessary ATP?
