  • Respiration equation?
    glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
  • What is ATP?
    The high-energy molecule produced during respiration
  • What is ATP made of?
    One adenosine molecule, with three inorganic phosphates.
  • How does ATP release energy?
    Energy is released when the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate bond is broken.
  • What is the energy release in ATP used for?
    Cellular activities such as; muscle contraction, synthesis and other chemical reactions.
  • Where would you find ATP?
    The cytoplasm
  • What is aerobic respiration?
    Respiration when oxygen is present
  • What is stage one of respiration called?
    Glycolysis
  • What happens during glycolysis?
    A glucose molecule is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate.
  • Where does glycolysis occur?
    Cytoplasm
  • Does glycolysis need oxygen?
    No
  • How many ATP are produced in glycolysis?
    2 ATP
  • What is stage two of respiration called?
    The breakdown of pyruvate
  • What happens during the breakdown of pyruvate?
    The pyruvate made in glycolysis is broken down using oxygen - into carbon dioxide and water.
  • Where does the breakdown of pyruvate happen?
    Mitochondria
  • What does anaerobic mean?
    Without oxygen
