| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is fermentation | Partial degradation of sugars and other organic fuel without the use of oxygen |
| What is Anaerobic respiration | Partial degradation of sugars and other organic fuel without the use of oxygen |
| What is Aerobic Respiration | Oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel |
| How many steps is Cellular Respiration? | 3 |
| What types of steps are in Cellular Respiration? | First step is an anaerobic and the second is aerobic. |
| Is Cellular Respiration Exergonic or endergonic? | Exergonic |
| What is the reaction equation of cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + ^H2O + energy |
| Is Cellular Respiration spontaneous? | Yes |
| Which redox reaction loses electrons | oxidation |
| Which redox reaction gains electrons? | reduction |
| What accepts the electrons? | the oxidizing agent |
| What donates electrons? | The reducing agent |
| What is the first step of breaking down glucose? | Hydrogen atoms are passed to the electron carriers (NAD) which acts as a coenzyme |
| What is the second step of breaking down glucose? | NAD+ dehydrogenases into NADH |
| What is the third step of breaking down glucose? | NADH passes the electrons to the electron transport chain and turns to O2 |
| Which way does the electrons travel in cellular respiration? | Downhill to lower concentrated H+ |
| What are the 3 stages of Cellular respiration | Glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation/citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation |
| Where is some of the ATP produced by glycolysis | Using substate level phosphorylation |
| What is Glycolysis | The sugar splitting step |
| How many phases does glycolysis have? | 2 |
| What does glycolysis phase 1 begin with? | Begins with glucose (which has 6 carbons) |
| What does glycolysis phase 1 end with? | Ends with 2 G3P (key intermediate) with 3 carbons |
| What does glycolysis phase 2 begin with | Begins with the 2 G3P molecules |
| What does glycolysis phase 2 end with? | Ends with 2 pyruvate molecules |
| What happens in the middle of glycolysis phase 2 | 2 NAD+ turns to 2 NADH |
| What is the net output of ATP in glycolysis | 2 |
| Where does glycolysis occur? | The cytoplasm |
| How many molecules of ATP does glycolysis create? | 4 |
| What is the second step of Cellular respiration? | Pyruvate Oxidation |
| How does Pyruvate Oxidation start? | 2 Pyruvate molecules formed from glycolysis |
| What happens after the pyruvate goes through the transport protein? | CO2 molecules are sent out |
| What happens to NAD+ | NAD+ turns into NADH and H+ |
| How does Acetyl CoA form? | Co enzyme A (S-CoA) is brought into the system |
| What kind of energy does Acetyl Co-A have? | Potential |

| How many steps does the Citric Acid Cycle have? | 8 |
| What is step 1 of the Citric Acid Cycle? | Acetyl CoA combines with Oxaloacetate |
| What does Acetyl CoA combining with Oxaloacetate create? | Citrate |
| What happens to the Citrate? | Citrate moves around and creates Isocitrate |
| What happens after the creation of the isocitrate? | 4 electrons change 2 NAD+ to NADH and 2 Carbons are lost in 2 CO2 molecules |
| What happens to Coenzyme A in the Citric Acid Cycle | It turns to Succinyl CoA |
| What happens during the substrate level phosphorylation? | 1 ATP molecule is produced |
| What happens to FAD | Turns to FADH |
| What happens to NAD+ | Turns to NADH |
| When does regeneration of oxaloacetate occur? | At the end of the Citric Acid Cycle and after NAD+ turns to NADH |
