| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| those that break down organic molecules for energy | catabolic pathways |
| those that build up organic molecules to store energy for later use. | anabolic pathways |
| All living organisms perform some kind of | cellular respiration |
| a chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy in a quickly usable form | ATP |
| Cellular respiration can be divided into two basic categories | aerobic and anaerobic |
| uses molecular oxygen (O2) as the final electron acceptor in the reaction pathway | Aerobic respiration |
| Anaerobic pathways do not use oxygen as they perform respiration; these include | anaerobic respiration and fermentation |
| Aerobic Respiration Formula | C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (ATP) |
| Photosynthesis Formula | 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (light) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
| is the first stage of aerobic respiration | Glycolysis |
| glucose Formula | (C6H12O6) |
| Glycolysis takes place in the | cytosol of cells |
| involves the conversion of each pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, releasing one CO2 for each pyruvate reactant | The formation of acetyl CoA |
| oxidizes the remaining carbon atoms of each acetyl-CoA to CO2. | The citric acid cycle |
| 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 |
| In the final stage, oxidative phosphorylation, NADH and FADH2 deliver their energy-rich electrons into the | electron transport chain (ETC). |
| a pathway present in some prokaryotes, is remarkably similar to aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration |
| Another alternative to aerobic respiration is | fermentation |
| is the opposite of respiration | photosynthesis |
| Plants, algae, and some kinds of bacteria are capable of performing | photosynthesis |
| Photosynthesis takes place entirely inside The | chloroplasts. |
| occur within the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts | light-dependent reactions |
| The carbon fixation reactions, also called the | Calvin cycle |
| sometimes reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis | photorespiration |
