Cellular respiration equation

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O +ATP

2
New cards

Cellular respiration can also be called

Aerobic respiration

3
New cards

Why is cellular respiration exergenic

Because it releases energy

4
New cards

What are the three main parts of cellular respiration

Glycolysis, Kreb cycle, electron transport/chemiosmosis

5
New cards

First set of reactions in cellular respiration is

Glycolysis

6
New cards

What is glycolysis

Metabolic reaction where one moleclue of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvic acid.

7
New cards

Pyruvic acid formula thing

C3H4O3

8
New cards

Glycolysis produces ___ ATP molecules but..

Produces 4 but net gain is 2 ATP molecules because it them to split up the pyruvate

9
New cards

What is pyruvic acid missing and why

Two H, needed for electron transport

10
New cards

What is NAD+

They help transfer electrons from one molecule to another.

11
New cards

When there is no oxygen after glycolysis to help with kreb cycle etc

Fermentation takes places
