cellular respiration checkup
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| chem. equation for cellular respiration ? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O |
| principal energy source for cells ? | glucose |
| glucose cant be used to directly power cells: true or false ? | true |
| cells break down glucose to produce what ? | ATP |
| what does ATP stand for ? | adenosine triphosphate |
| cellular respiration is... | a complicated series of the aerobic, or oxygen using, breakdown of glucose |
| where does cellular respiration occur ? | the first stage is in the cytoplasm of the cell but the other stages are in the mitochondria |
| sometimes glycolysis isn't followed by the Krebs Cycle but... | an anaerobic process known as fermentation |
| fermentation requires ATP: true or false ? | false |
| why does ATP regenerate the molecules necessary to keep glycolysis going ? | bc it allows cells to obtain ATP through glycosis |
| the ATP molecule consists of... | an adenine unit, a ribose unit, and a 3-phosphate chain |
| first step of process ? | anaerobic where glycolysis in cytoplasm (glucose transforms into pyruvate) |
| second step of process ? | aerobic process where pyruvate oxidizing into ATP and other molecules in mitochondria |
| third step of process ? | aerobic process where electrons transferred create a proton gradient to power ATP synthase in mitochondria |
| aerobic cellular respiration happen in both plants and animal cells: true or false ? | true |
| where do plants get inputs for aerobic cellular respiration ? | energy from sunlight powers photosynthesis which provides glucose |
| where do animals get inputs for aerobic cellular respiration ? | breaking down food they eat (specifically glucose) |
