Aerobic Respiration

aerobes

which cells use aerobic respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 +6H2O

what is the overall equation for aerobic respiration?

glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain

what are the major steps in aerobic respiration?

cytosol/cytoplasm

where does glycolysis take place?

glucose

what are the starting molecules in glycolysis?

six

how many carbons are present in glucose at the start of glycolysis?

2 pyruvate molecules

what are the ending molecules of glycolysis?

6 (3 on each of 2 pyruvate molecules)

how many carbons are present at the end of glycolysis?

two

how many ATP molecules are made during glycolysis?

matrix of the mitochondria

where does the Krebs cycle take place?

true

TRUE or FALSE: the Krebs cycle requires oxygen.

inner membrane of mitochondria (cristae)

where does electron transport chain take place?

the cristae increase the surface are and thus ATP produced

why are the cristae important to aerobic respiration?

30 ATP

what is the net energy yield of the electron transport chain?

yes

is electron transport chain oxygen dependent?

they return to the mitchondrial matrix through ATP synthase

what happens to the protons after they are pumped into the membrane?

it catalyzes making ATP from ADP on the cristae

what is ATP synthase important?

NADH

what is an electron donor for electron transport chain?

oxygen (O2)

what is the electron acceptor for electron transport chain?

cytoplasm

where does glycolysis, and the Krebs cycle take place in prokaryotes?

plasma membrane

where does electron transport take place in prokaryotes?

moving protons across the cristae membrane

why is electron flow essential to ATP synthesis?

carbon dioxide (CO2)

a waste product of the Krebs cycle

water

a waste produce of the electron transport chain

catabolic

these reactions provide the energy for aerobic respiration

anabolic

these reactions use the energy stored in ATP

making ATP

the primary function of aerobic respiration

eukaryotes

organisms that contain mitochondria

prokaryotes

organisms without mitochondria

lactic acid

product of anaerobic respiration in your muscles

alcohol (ethanol)

product of anaerobic respiration in yeast cells
