Cellular Respiration and Fermentation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are examples of energy storing macromolecules? | Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins |
| What is fermentation? | The partial break down of sugar when no oxygen is available. |
| What does cellular respiration release more of? | Energy to make ATP. |
| Where does cellular respiration occur? | In the cytoplasm and mitochondria. |
| What is the equation for cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36-38ATP |
| What is oxidation? | The loss of electrons. |
| What is the equation for redox reactions and energy transfers? | Na + Cl -> Na+ + Cl- |
| What is NAD+? | Nicotinimide Adenine Dinucleotide. Common coenzyme oxidizing agent in cellular respiration. |
| Explain what happens when NADH transfers an electron. | NADH will transfer an electron to an electron transport chain where energy will be released slowly to form ATP and at the end of the chain it will join 1/2 O2 and 2H+ to form water. |
| What are the 3 steps in cellular respiration? What is released here? | Glycolysis in cytosol, citric acid cycle, and electron transport chain in mitochondria. CO2 is released. |
| What are the two different processes to make ATP? | Oxidative phosphorylation and substrate level phosphorylation. |
| What is glycolysis? | Splitting glucose. |
| What is made when glycolysis occurs? | 2 pyruvates + 2H2O + 2ATP + 2NADH |
| What happens to NAD+ and glucose in glycolysis? | NAD+ is reduced and glucose is oxidized. |
| In glycolysis, what is the overall energy gain? | 2 ATP and 2 NADH |
