Glycolysis and Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is cell respiration? | the process by which cells break down glucose and other molecules in order to acquire a supply of ATP molecules |
| What are the complete oxidation of a glucose molecule that takes place in cell respiration? | 1. Glycolysis2. the Preparatory Reaction3. the citric acid cycle4. electron transport chain |
| Where does glycoclysis occure? | In the cytoplasm. |
| Glycolysis is glucose converted to two molecules of what? | Pyruvte-(anaerobic process) |
| What has to be present in order for cellular respiration to occur? | oxygen |
| Where does cellular respiration occur? | Inside the mitochondria |
| What connects glycolysis to the citric acid cycle? | preparatory reaction |
| Preparatory reaction is the conversion of what? | pyruvate to an acetyle group |
| What is the cyclical series of oxidation reactions that result in the produciton of NADH and FADH2? | Citric Acid Cycle |
| What is the electron transport chain? | A series of carriers which accept electrons removed from the glucose. |
| What are passed from carrier to carrier until received by O2, which combines with H, forming water? | electrons |
| Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can be used as what? | energy sources |
| Metabolites of fats and proteins enter cell respiration at what cycle? | Citric Acid Cycle |
