Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while
anaerobic
respiration does not.
True
Respiration converts chemical energy into usable
ATP
.
True
The electron transport chain produces about 36-38 molecules of
ATP
What is respiration in biochemical terms?
Breaks down organic molecules
Aerobic respiration occurs in the
mitochondria
What is produced during glycolysis?
Pyruvate and ATP
Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?
Cytoplasm
Aerobic respiration produces large amounts of
ATP
Where does the Krebs Cycle take place in the cell?
Mitochondria
What are the end products of glycolysis?
Pyruvate, ATP, NADH
What is the primary role of the Krebs Cycle in aerobic respiration?
Produce electron carriers
The Electron Transport Chain produces approximately 32-34
ATP
molecules per glucose molecule.
Order the steps of aerobic respiration:
1️⃣ Glycolysis
2️⃣ Krebs Cycle
3️⃣ Electron Transport Chain
What is the primary energy currency of the cell?
ATP
Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?
Cytoplasm
What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain?
Oxygen
What is the net ATP production in glycolysis?
2 ATP
The electron transport chain generates more ATP than the
Krebs Cycle
.
True
What is the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?
Oxygen dependency
What does the ETC utilize energy from to pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane?
NADH and FADH2
The proton gradient created in the ETC drives the process of
chemiosmosis
How many ATP molecules are produced per glucose in anaerobic respiration?
2 ATP
Anaerobic respiration is more efficient than aerobic respiration.
False
In which organisms is alcoholic fermentation the primary means of energy production when oxygen is not available?
Yeast and bacteria
What is the location of aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells?
Mitochondria
Aerobic respiration requires
oxygen
Glycolysis occurs in the
cytoplasm
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the
electron transport chain
.
True
Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?
Mitochondria
The flow of H+ ions through ATP synthase during chemiosmosis drives the production of
ATP
Oxidative phosphorylation depends on the flow of protons through
ATP synthase
What is the ATP yield of oxidative phosphorylation per glucose molecule?
32-34 ATP
In yeast, the end products of anaerobic respiration are ethanol and carbon
dioxide
Steps of lactic acid fermentation
1️⃣ Glycolysis
2️⃣ Reduction of pyruvate to lactic acid
The end products of alcoholic fermentation are ethanol and carbon
dioxide
Aerobic respiration produces more ATP than
anaerobic
respiration.
True
How many ATP molecules are produced per glucose in aerobic respiration?
About 36-38 ATP
Steps in aerobic respiration
1️⃣ Glycolysis
2️⃣ Citric Acid Cycle
3️⃣ Electron Transport Chain
Aerobic respiration is a highly efficient
energy
extraction process.
True
