cellular respiration

Cards (10)

  • what is cellular respiration
    process by which organisms garner energy from food in a usable form -> breakdown of glucose into CO2
  • what is the basic reaction for cellular respiration
    C6H12O6 + O2CO2 + H2O
  • what is the inputs, outputs, location and purpose of glycolysis
    PURPOSE: break glucose into 2 3-carbon pyruvate molecules
    LOCATION: cytosol
    glucose → 2 pyruvate
    2 ADP + Pi → 2 ATP
    2 NAD+ → 2 NADH
  • what is the inputs, outputs, location and purpose of the link reaction
    PURPOSE: convert pyruvate to Aceytl-CoA
    LOCATION: cytosol
    2 pyruvate → 2 Acetyl-CoA, 2 CO2
    2 NAD+ → 2 NADH
  • what is the inputs, outputs, location and purpose of the kreb's cycle
    PURPOSE: break down Acetyl-CoA to CO2 + aim to produce NADH + FADH2
    LOCATION: mitochondrial matrix
    2 Acetyl-CoA → 4 CO2
    2 ADP + Pi → 2 ATP
    6 NAD+ → 6 NADH
    2 FAD + 4 H+ → 2 FADH2
  • what is the inputs, outputs, location and purpose of the electron transport chain
    PURPOSE: produce most ATP 
    LOCATION: cristae
    O2H2O
    26/26 ADP + Pi → 26/28 ATP
    10 NADH → 10 NAD+
    2 FADH2 → 2 FAD
  • what are the inputs, outputs, location and purpose for anaerobic fermentation in yeast (alcohol)
    PURPOSE: produce ethanol from glucose
    LOCATION: cytosol

    2 pyruvate → 2 ethanol, 2 CO2
    2 NADH → 2 NAD+
  • what is the process of anaerobic fermentation in animals (lactic acid)
    glucose → 2 lactic acid + 2 ATP
    1. glycolysis →  2 net ATP glucose → 2 pyruvate
    2. lactic acid fermentation →regenerate NAD+
    2 pyruvate → 2 lactic acid 
    2 NADH → 2 NAD
  • what is the process of anaerobic fermentation in yeast (alcohol)
    glucose → 2 ethanol + 2 CO2 + 2 ATP
    1. glycolysis →  2 net ATP glucose → 2 pyruvate
    2. alcohol fermentation →  regenerate NAD+
    2 pyruvate → 2 ethanol + 2CO2 
    2 NADH → 2 NAD + 
  • what are the factors that affect cellular respiration
    • temperature
    A) pH
    B) temperature
    C) glucose availability
    D) oxygen concentration
