Biology Notes (Part 11) Cellular Respiration

Reduction

Reduction

________ always adds hydrogen.

NAD+

________ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides) in its reduced form is NADH.

FAD

________ (flavin adenine dinucleotide) in its reduced form is FADH.

Oxidation

________ is exergonic and reduction is endergonic.

Cellular respiration

________ breaks down glucose and produces ATP which usually involves the breakdown of glucose to CO2 and H2O.

Aerobic

________ is a term describing a process that occurs in the presence of oxygen.

Glycolysis

________ is the first step of cellular respiration.

Anaerobic

________ is a term that describes the process that occurs in the absence of oxygen.

aerobic process

It is a(n) ________ and the product formed is large amounts of ATP.

Cells

________ generally contain enough ATP to sustain from 30 minutes to a few minutes of activity.

process of cellular respiration

The ________ occurs so that energy from the food (carbohydrates) we eat gets converted to channel energy (ATP)

citric acid cycle

The ________ is the third step of cellular respiration and is also known as the Krebs Cycle.

Redox coenzymes

________ are coenzymes that transport electrons.

cellular respiration

The formula for ________ is CO6H12 + 6O2 + 6H2O + heat and energy.

aerobic process

It is a(n) ________ and the products formed are large amounts of redox coenzymes.

aerobic process

It is a(n) ________ and the major product formed are Acetyl Coa.

Oxidation

___________ removes hydrogens.

Glycolysis

__________ is the first step of cellular respiration. In this process, the breakdown of glucose occurs and breaks down into two molecules of pyruvate. It is an anaerobic process and the major product formed is pyruvates.

Oxidation of pyruvate

__________ is the second step of cellular respiration. Both pyruvates are broken down to Acetyl Coa. It is an aerobic process and the major product formed are Acetyl Coa.

citric acid cycle

The ___________ is the third step of cellular respiration and is also known as the Krebs Cycle. It is an aerobic process and the products formed are large amounts of redox coenzymes.

electron transport chain

The last step of cellular respiration is ______________ which is a series of carrier proteins. It is an aerobic process and the product formed is large amounts of ATP.

The formula for cellular respiration is:

CO6H12 + 6O2 + 6H2O + heat and energy.

Reduction-oxidation reactions (redox reactions)

___________ are chemical reactions that involving the transfer of electrons.
