1
New cards

Cellular respiration

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

2
New cards

Overall reaction for cellular respiration

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (ATP)

3
New cards

Reactant that we breathe in during cellular respiration

O2 (oxygen)

4
New cards

Product that we breathe out during cellular respiration

CO2 (carbon dioxide)

5
New cards

What does glycolysis produce?

2 Pyruvate, 2 NADH, and 2 ATP.

6
New cards

Location of the Citric Acid Cycle

Mitochondrial matrix

7
New cards

Main purpose of oxidative phosphorylation

To create ATP using a proton gradient.

8
New cards

Role of NADH and FADH2

To donate electrons to the Electron Transport Chain.

9
New cards

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) effect of oxygen's absence

Halts ATP production and causes a backup of electrons.

10
New cards

Fermentation

An anaerobic process that follows glycolysis to regenerate NAD+.

11
New cards

Comparison of ATP production in fermentation and cellular respiration

Fermentation produces 2 ATP, while cellular respiration produces approximately 30-32 ATP.

12
New cards

End product of lactic acid fermentation

Lactic acid (or lactate)

13
New cards

End products of alcohol fermentation

Ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
