respiration provides energy within cells

Cards (12)

  • what is meant by respiration being a catabolic process
    it involves a series of enzyme-catalysed reactions in cells
  • give two examples of energy rich substrates
    glucose and fatty acids
  • by what process do glucose and fatty acids release energy

    by hydrolysis
  • what two ways can energy be produced as by glucose and fatty acids being hydrolysed
    ATP and heat energy
  • give three examples of bonds that are broken by enzymes to produce ATP
    c-c , c-h and c-oh bonds
  • What is aerobic respiration?

    this is the release of large quantities of ATP energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of oxygen
  • What is anaerobic respiration?

    this is the release of small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen
  • what is produced as a bi product in aerobic respiration
    carbon dioxide
  • what is produced as bi products in anaerobic respiration in animal cells
    lactate
  • what is produced as a bi product in anaerobic respiration in yeast cells
    carbon dioxide and ethanol
  • what is meant by dehydrogenation
    the removal of Hydrogen by dehydrogenase
  • what is meant by carboxylation
    the removal of carbon dioxide by an decarbocylase
