Cell Respirations
Vocabulary of the process of cellular respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is CELLULAR RESPIRATION? | Process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP (energy). |
| What types of cells perform cellular respiration? | Every living thing performs cellular respiration (plants animals, bacteria, fungi, protists) |
| What is the EQUATION for cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY(ATP) |
| What are the 3 STAGES of Cellular Respiration? | 1) Glycolysis 2) Krebs Cycle 3) Electron Transport Chain |
| What is ANAEROBIC Respiration? | The processes that do not require the presence of Oxygen. |
| What are the characteristics of ANAEROBIC respiration? | 1) Produces 2 ATP molecules 2) Does not require Oxygen 3) Occurs in the cytoplasm |
| What is AEROBIC Respiration? | The cellular respiration process that uses oxygen |
| What are the characteristics of AEROBIC respiration? | 1) Produces up to 36 ATP molecules 2) Requires oxygen 3) Occurs in the mitochondria |
| What is GLYCOLYSIS? | Series of anaerobic chemical reactions in the cytoplasm that break down glucose into two pyruvic acid molecules; Gives a net of 2 ATP molecules |
| What is the KREBS CYCLE? (Citric Acid Cycle) | a cyclic pathway of cellular respiration that uses carbon dioxide & produces ATP (energy), NADH, & FADH2 (electron carriers) & passes the electrons to the ETC |
| What is the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN? | series of molecules through which electrons are passed to make ATP happens in the inner membrane of mitochondria |
| What is FERMENTATION? | anaerobic process of cellular respiration that recycles NAD+ needed to continue glycolysis |
| What are the 2 types of fermentation? | 1) Lactic Acid Fermentation 2) Alcoholic Fermentation |
| What is LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION? | type of fermentation where pyruvic acid is used to form lactic acid |
| What is ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION? | type of fermentation where pyruvic acid is converted into CO2 & ethyl alcohol |
