Cellular Respiration
Everything you need to know about cellular respiration.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How much ATP is produced in cellular respiration? | 4 |
| During what stage or process is ATP produced? | Oxidative Phosphorylation |
| What are the reactants? | Oxygen and glucose |
| What are the products? | Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP |
| What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? | C6H12O2+6O2->6H2O+6CO2+ATP |
| Does cellular respiration require sunlight? | No |
| What is the basic process of cellular respiration? | The body intake of oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. |
| What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration? | Oxygen |
| What does the final electron accpetor determine in cellular respiration? | Whether the respiration is aerobic or anaerobic. |
| What happens to carbon dioxide and water in cellular respiration? | Nothing, they are the products. |
| What happens to glucose in cellular respiration? | It is broken down into two pyruvates. |
| What happens to oxygen in cellular respiration? | It becomes the final electron acceptor, and it determines whether it is aerobic or anaerobic respiration. |
| What are the stages in cellular respiration | Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle(Citric Acid Cycle), and Oxidative Phosphorylation. |
| What happens during Glycolysis? | Glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. |
| What must happen before Glycolysis can switch over to the Krebs Cycle? | The oxidation of pyruvates. |
| What happens during the oxidation of pyruvates? | Pyruvates are converted to acetyl Co enzyme A(acetyl CoA). |
| What carries out the step of oxidating the pyruvates? | A multi-enzyme complex that catalyzes three reactions. |
| What happens during the Krebs Cycle? | The break down of pyruvates to carbon dioxide is completed. Organic fuel of pyruvates is also oxidized, generating 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per turn. |
| How many steps are in the Krebs Cycle? What is the catalyst for each step? | There are eight steps, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme. |
| What happens during the steps of the Krebs Cycle? | The first step has the group of acetyl from acetyl CoA combine with oxaloacetate to form citrate. The next seven steps decompose the citrate back to oxaloacetate. |
| What is produced from the Krebs Cycle? | NADH and FADH2 |
| What do the products of the Krebs Cycle do? | Relay electrons extracted from food to the electron transport train. |
| What happens during Oxidative Phosphorylation? | Chemiosmosis couples elctron transport to ATP synthesis. |
| Where does cellular respiration take place? | In the mitochondria of animals and humans. |
| What powers ATP synthase? | Hydrogen Ions(H+) |
| Where does ATP synthesis take place? | In the Mitochondria. |
| What is the electron acceptor in cellular respiration? | Oxygen |
| What is the source of power for the electron transport train(ETC)? | Electron doners |
