| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the amount of energy needed to raise the temperatue of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius | a calorie |
| on labels, is a kilocalorie, 1000 calories | The Calorie |
| releases only a small amount of energy | glycolysis |
| process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen | cellular respiration |
| process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid. | glycolysis |
| 6O2+ C6 H12 O6--6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy | cellular respiration |
| pyruvic acid | a 3-carbon compund |
| 4 high energy electrons are passed to an electron carrier called | NAD+ |
| holds the electron until they can be transferred to other molecules | NADH |
| helps pass energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell. | NAD+ |
| releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absense of oxygen | fermentation |
| what happens during fermentation? | cells convert NADH to NAD+ by passing high energy electrons back to pyruvic acid. |
| fermentation doesnt require oxygen so it is said to be _____ | anaerobic |
| two types of fermentation | alcoholic fermentation & lactic acid fermentation |
| pyruvic acid + NADH -- lactic acid + NAD+ | lactic acid fermentation |
| pyruvic acid + NADH -- aclcohol + C02 + NAD+ | alcoholic fermentation |
| converts glucose into lactic acid | lactic acid fermentation |
| because the paths of cellular respiration require oxygen, they are said to be ___ | aerobic |
| what happens during the Krebs Cycle | pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions. |
| where does the Krebs Cycle take place | mitochondrion |
| uses high energy electrons from the Krebs Cycle to convert ADP into ATP | electron transport chain |
