Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mitochondria | This is the power house of the cell. Its job is to give the cell energy to carry out its functions. http://www.lhsc.on.ca/_images/Genetics/mitochondrion_000.jpg |
| Metabolism | Chemical processes that happens within a living thing, in order to maintain life. |
| ATP Synthase | ATP Synthase is basically the mitochondria's protein structures. |
| Glycolysis | The breakdown of glucose, thus releasing energy and pyruvic acid. |
| Aerobic | An environment with oxygen. |
| Krebs Cycle | Sequence of reaction that generates energy during the process of aerobic respiration. |
| Electron Transport Chain | This basically accepts electron transfers between an electron donor and an electron acceptor. |
| Equation for Cell Respiration | Glucose + 602 = 6H20 + ATP + 6CO2 (Energy) (Oxygen)= (Water) (Energy) (Carbon Dioxide). |
| Fermentation | The chemical breakdown of a substance by microorganisms, like bacteria and yeast. In other words, it's the production of ATP without oxygen. |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | Muscles produces a waste product, called lactic acid, which contributes to the fatigue after a long run. |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | This occurs when yeast produces alcohol, instead of lactic acid. |
| Anaerobic | An environment without oxygen. |
