    C6H12O6+6O2->6CO2+6H2O+38ATP
  • what is the definition of respiration
    this is a series of gradual enzyme catalysed reactions which release chemical energy from organic molecules in order to make ATP
  • what organic molecule starts all of respiration
    glucose
  • what are the 4 stages of respiration
    Glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
  • what is the abbreviation used to remember the order of respiration

  • Where does glycolysis take place?

    cytoplasm
  • where does the link reaction take place

    mitochondrial matrix
  • Where does the Krebs cycle take place?

    mitochondrial matrix
  • where does the electron transport chain take place

    inner membrane of mitochondria
  • during aerobic respiration what happens to hydrogen atoms
    they are removed from the intermediate compounds and are split into protons and electrons
  • what is meant by the intermediate compounds that are split into protons and electrons

    these are the reduced nad and reduced fad molecules
  • in aerobic respiration what is reduced nad and reduced fad converted to and how

    protons and electrons by the removal of hydrogen(oxididation)
  • what is meant by oxidation in terms of hydrogen
    loss of hydrogen
  • what is meant by reduction in terms of hydrogen

    gain of hydrogen
