the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius
calorie
the calorie used on food labels is actually a kilocalorie. which is how many calories?
1000
the process of burning calories is actually the gradual release of ______ that begins with _________
energy, glycolysis
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?
2;34
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?
1st uses the ATP from cellular respiration. then it burns stores of glycogen. then burns fat.
how does the cell get glycolysis started?
2 ATP molecules
what is NAD+?
electron carrier- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
at the end of glycolysis, how much of the chemical energy in glucose is still unused>
about 90%
