1 | cellular respiration equation |
C6H12O6+6O2---> 6CO2+6H2O+ATP |
2 | cellular respiration reactants |
glucose and oxygen |
3 | cellular respiration products |
carbon dioxide, water, and ATP |
4 | Glycolysis |
the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing NADH, 2ATP, and 2 pyruvate |
5 | energy investment phase of glycolysis |
requires 2 ATP |
6 | glycolysis products |
2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, 2 NADH |
7 | glycolysis takes place in |
cytoplasm |
8 | Oxidation of Pyruvate |
When pyruvate moves into the mitochondrion and becomes Acetyl CoA |
9 | Oxidation of pyruvate products |
2 acetyl CoA, 2 CO2, 2 NADH |
10 | Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) |
second stage of cellular respiration, in which acetylcoA is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions |
11 | Krebs Cycle Products |
2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 4 CO2 |
12 | electron transport chain |
last stage of aerobic respiration; series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions |
13 | The Krebs cycle takes place in the _________________________. |
matrix |
14 | ETC takes place in the |
cristae |
15 | substrate-level phosphorylation |
The enzyme-catalyzed formation of ATP by direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism (Glycoylsis, Krebs) |
16 | oxidative phosphorylation |
The production of ATP using energy derived from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain; the third major stage of cellular respiration. |
17 | Chemiosmosis |
A process for synthesizing ATP using the energy of an electrochemical gradient of H+ and the ATP synthase enzyme. |
18 | Aerobic |
Process that requires oxygen |
19 | Anaerobic |
Process that does not require oxygen |
20 | lactic acid fermentation |
A series of anaerobic chemical reactions using pyruvate that supplies energy when oxygen is scarce (lactic acid is by-product) |
21 | alcoholic fermentation |
the anaerobic process by which yeasts and other microorganisms break down sugars to form carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol |
22 | matrix |
Innermost compartment of the mitochondrion |
23 | Cristae |
Infoldings of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion that houses the electon transport chain and the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of ATP. |
24 | ATP |
(adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work |
25 | NADH and FADH2 |
high energy electron carrier(s) after reduction in cellular respiration |
