What is cellular respiration?

Breaking the bonds of food molecules such as glucose to make ATP from ADP. The energy that was stored in the bonds of the food is transferred to the bonds of ATP.

2
New cards

Aerobic Cellular Respiration

  • requires oxygen (aerobic)

  • takes place in the mitochondria of most cells

3
New cards

What is the formula for aerobic cellular respiration?

Glucose(C6H12O6) + 6O2 + 38ADP +38P^i ➡6CO2 + 6H20 + 38ATP

4
New cards

The reactants and products of cellular respiration are:

Reactants: Glucose (sugar), Oxygen

Products: Carbon Dioxide, Water (+ ATP ENERGY)

5
New cards

Anaerobic Cellular Respiration

does not require oxygen (anaerobic)

6
New cards

There are 2 types of anaerobic cellular respiration:

Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation

7
New cards

What is Lactic Acid Fermentation and the formula for it?

Takes place in the muscle cells when there is no oxygen available

Glucose (C6H12O6) + 4ADP + 4P^i ➡Lactic Acid (2CH3CHOHCOOH)+ 4ATP

8
New cards

What is Alcoholic Fermentation and the formula for it?

Takes place in the yeast and some types of bacteria (also without oxygen)

Glucose(C6H12O6) + 4ADP + 4P^i ➡Ethanol (C2H5OH) + 2CO2 + 4ATP

9
New cards

What are the three steps in aerobic cellular respiration?

  1. Glycolysis

  2. The Citric Acid Cycle

  3. The Electron Transport Chain

10
New cards

Glycolysis (glucose splitting)

  • Glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid

  • “BEST DEAL IN TOWN”

  • 2 ATP are added to get 4 ATP out

  • Takes place in the cytoplasm of all cells

11
New cards

What happens between Step 1 (Glycolysis) and Step 2 (The Citric Acid Cycle)?

The pyruvic acid is transformed into a chemical called Acetyl Coenzyme A

12
New cards

When does the pyruvic acid become Acetyl-CoA?

When it loses a CO2 molecule as it moves from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria. This CO2 is exhaled as you breathe.

13
New cards

What is the Citric Acid Cycle?

This cycle is a series of chemical reactions that continue to break down what is left of the sugar to make ATP for the body.

14
New cards

What is released during the Citric Acid Cycle?

CO2, as it is released as you exhale, as well as electrons

15
New cards

Where does the Citric Acid Cycle take place?

It takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria

16
New cards

NAD+: (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

a carrier coenzyme that can transport one hydrogen atom and two electron atoms when it becomes NADH.

17
New cards

FAD: (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide)

a carrier coenzyme that can transport 2 electrons and molecules of hydrogen when it becomes FADH2

18
New cards

What is the electron transport chain?

A series of molecules along which electrons are transferred, releasing energy along the way. This energy makes a lot of ATP! These electrons are left over from Step 1 (Glycolysis) and Step 2 (The Citric Acid Cycle)

19
New cards

Where does the Electron Transport Chain take place?

It takes place in the cristae (inner folded membranes) of the mitochondria

20
New cards

What results from the Electron Transport Chain and is it aerobic or anaerobic?

The process is aerobic because the final electron acceptor in the chain is oxygen; water is made in this process.
