Cellular Respiration Review

what are the stages of cellular respiration in order?

glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain

what is released during cellular respiration besides water and carbon dioxide?

energy

how many net ATP are made during glycolysis?

2

how many ATP are made from glucose in the presence of oxygen?

36 ATP

what is the equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

cellular respiration generates energy by breaking down...

food molecules

what are the reactants in the equation for cellular respiration?

glucose and oxygen

what are the products of cellular respiration in the equation?

carbon dioxide, water, energy

where does glycolysis take place?

cytoplasm

where does the Krebs cycle take place?

mitochondrion

where does the electron transport chain take place?

mitochondrion

what is the starting molecule for glycolysis?

glucose

what is the starting molecule for the Krebs cycle?

pyruvic acid

what are the products of glycolysis?

pyruvic acid, NADH, ATP

what compounds act as electron carriers in cellular respiration?

NAD+ and FAD

where does lactic acid fermentation take place?

muscle cells

what are the two types of fermentation that was studied?

alcoholic and lactic acid

what type of fermentation gives bread its spongy texture?

alcoholic fermentation

what type of fermentation converts milk into yogurt?

lactic acid fermentation

how does fermentation keep glycolysis going in the absence of oxygen?

NAD+ is regenerated

if oxygen is present, what follows glycolysis?

Krebs Cycle

why is respiration called an aerobic process?

because it requires oxygen

what condition will prevent the Krebs cycle from occurring?

if fermentation occurs; lack of oxygen

what does the Krebs cycle produce?

electron carriers

what gas is given off by the Krebs cycle?

carbon dioxide

the energy of the electrons passing along the electron transport chain is used to make what?

ATP

how are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes?

photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and cellular respiration puts it back

what organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

mitochondrion

what part of cellular respiration is shut down by cyanide?

electron transport chain

why do muscle cells produce more carbon dioxide during exercise?

CO2 is produced as a waste product;more glucose is broken down releasing energy

what molecules are responsible for passing high-energy electrons into the electron transport chain?

NADH and FADH2
