Cellular Respiration
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| glycolysis | the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down the glucose molecule in the cytoplasm |
| ATP | energy |
| 36 ATP | the total ATP produced from cellular (aerobic) respiration |
| mitochondria | the site of cellular respiration to produce ENERGY. Chemical energy converted to useable cellular energy of ATP |
| glycolysis, Kreb cycle, and electron transport chain | Steps of aerobic respiration |
| cellular respiration | the breakdown of glucose to produce energy; chemical energy converted to useable cellular energy of ATP. |
| autotrophs and heterotrophs | type of organism(s) that do cellular respiration |
| autotrophs | only type of organism that can do photosynthesis |
| heterotrophs | the organism can ONLY do cellular respiration |
| carbon dioxide, water, and ATP | products of cellular respiration |
| oxygen and glucose | reactants of cellular respiration |
| chloroplast | site of photosynthesis |
| Kreb Cycle | the second step of cellular respiration that makes 2 ATP and carbon dioxide |
| Electron Transport Chain | the third step of cellular respiration that makes 34 ATP molecules |
