Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Aerobic Cellular Respiration

the process of making ATP

What are Eukaryotes

organisms that have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles (e.g. mitochondria)

What are Prokaryotes?

are single celled organisms without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles (no mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus)

In eukaryotes, in what membrane-bound organelle does most of the process of cellular respiration happen?

mitochondria

What are the reactants (inputs) of cellular respiration?

Glucose and Oxygen

What are the products (outputs) of cellular respiration?

Carbon Dioxide, Water, ATP

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Reactants (Inputs): Carbon Dioxide, Water

Process: w/ light

Products (Outputs): Oxygen, Glucose

What does ATP stand for?

Adenosine Triphosphate

What is ATP for and why do all cells produce it?

ATP serves as a cell’s primary energy currency.

ATP is used in cells to power different kinds of cellular processes— muscle contraction, synthesis of molecules, nerve impulse transmission. Without ATP, work in the cell cannot be done.

Cellular respiration makes glucose

FALSE.

Photosynthesis MAKES glucose

Cellular respiration BREAKS DOWN glucose to MAKE ATP

Cellular Respiration breaks ATP down.

FALSE.

Cellular Respiration breaks GLUCOSE down to make ATP.

Cellular Respiration breaks glucose down to make ATP

TRUE

Photosynthesis makes ATP

FALSE

Photosynthesis MAKES GLUCOSE, which is later broken down to make ATP (Cellular Respiration)

Photosynthesis makes glucose

TRUE

What’s the difference between Autotrophs and Heterotrophs?

• Autotrophs - organisms that make their own energy

• Heterotrophs - organisms that get their energy source from something else

Plants are autotrophs

TRUE

They can make their own glucose through photosynthesis, then break down that glucose to form ATP through cellular respiration
