Cellular Respiration

• Cell Respiration - process through which out cells get the energy to perform their functions
• Aerobic Cellular Respiration - uses oxygen and yields many more ATP molecules. it is the process in which out cells break down food and turn it into energy
• Anaerobic cellular respiration does not use oxygen and yield only two ATP molecules
• Three Stages of Aerobic Respiration - Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and the tricarboxylic (TCA) acid cycle, and the electron transport chain
• Glycolysis - occurs in the cutosol
• Central dogma of molecular biology - describe the 2-step process, transcription and translation by which the information in genes flows in this way: DNA -> RNA -> protein
• Transcription - synthesis of an RNA copy of a segment of DNA
• Base sequence of DNA - CCG TAT GTC TAG GCT
• Hierarchy of Organisms - kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species (King Philip Came Over Good Spaghetti)
