| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is photosynthesis? | is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. |
| What is resporition? | The action of breathing. |
| What is aerobic respiration? | use oxygen to breathe |
| What is anaerobic repiration? | when you dont use oxygen to breath |
| What is catabolic pathways? | those that break down organic molecules for energy |
| What is anabolic pathways? | those that build up organic molecules to store energy for later use. |
| What is cellular respiration? | a chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy in a quickly usable form (ATP). |
| How many stages is there to Aerobic respiration? | 4 stages |
| What is the equation for Aerobic Respiration? | 6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (ATP) |
| What is the equation for Photosynthesis? | 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (light) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
| What is Glycolysis? | Glycolysis is the first stage of aerobic respiration, but it is also a part of all other known cellular respiration pathways |
| What is the formation of acetyl CoA? | The formation of acetyl CoA involves the conversion of each pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, releasing one CO2 for each pyruvate reactant. |
| What is the citric acid cycle? | The citric acid cycle oxidizes the remaining carbon atoms of each acetyl-CoA to CO2 |
| What is Oxidative phosphorylation | During each of the first three stages, the original organic carbon atoms are oxidized to CO2 as their electrons are collected into the high energy compounds NADH and FADH2. |
| What is the first stage in Aerobic respiration? | Glycolysis |
| What is the seceond stage in Aerobic respiration? | The formation of acetyl CoA |
| What is the third stage in Aerobic respiration? | The citric acid cycle |
| What is the last stage in Aerobic respiration? | Oxidative phosphorylation |
| What is the electron transport chain? | chain is a series of membrane complexes that transfers energy-rich electrons from one complex to another in a chain. |
| What is electron transport chain used for? | The energy from the electrons is used to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. |
| What do the protons do in electron transport chain? | These protons are depleted from the matrix and accumulate in the intermembrane space thereby creating a proton gradient. |
| What is Anaerobic respiration? | a pathway present in some prokaryotes, is remarkably similar to aerobic respiration. |
| Does anaerobic respitation use energy? | no |
| What is another alternative to aerobic respiration? | fermentation |
| Is photosynthesis the same as respiration? | no |
