Cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O +ATP
Cellular respiration can also be called
Aerobic respiration
Why is cellular respiration exergenic
Because it releases energy
What are the three main parts of cellular respiration
Glycolysis, Kreb cycle, electron transport/chemiosmosis
First set of reactions in cellular respiration is
Glycolysis
What is glycolysis
Metabolic reaction where one moleclue of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid.
Pyruvic acid formula thing
C3H4O3
Glycolysis produces ___ ATP molecules but..
Produces 4 but net gain is 2 ATP molecules because it them to split up the pyruvate
What is pyruvic acid missing and why
Two H, needed for electron transport
What is NAD+
They help transfer electrons from one molecule to another.
When there is no oxygen after glycolysis to help with kreb cycle etc
Fermentation takes places
