1
There are two types of respirations
aerobic and anaerobic
2
What does aerobic respiration require?
oxygen
3
What is produced in both respirations?
ATP
4
What do both respirations start with?
glycolysis
5
What does glycolysis split?
one glucose into pyruvate
6
How many carbons does glucose have?
six
7
What are the products of glycolysis?
two pyruvate, ATP, reduced NAD
8
Is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic?
anaerobic
9
What are the two stages in glycolysis?
phosphorylation and oxidation
10
What is used in phosphorylation?
ATP
11
What is created in phosphorylation?
triose phosphate
12
What happens to triose phosphate in oxidation?
oxidized
13
What does oxidation produce?
ATP, reduced NAD
14
What is pyruvate converted to in anaerobic respiration?
ethanol or lactate
15
In what organisms is ethanol made?
plants and some microorganisms
16
In what organisms is lactate made?
animals and some bacteria
17
What converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA?
link reaction
18
How many carbons does acetyl CoA have?
two
19
What are the products of the link reaction?
reduced NAD, acetyl CoA
20
How many times does the link reaction occur per glucose?
two
21
What happens in the Krebs cycle?
oxidation-reduction reactions
22
Where does the Krebs cycle occur?
mitochondrial matrix
23
What are the main products of the Krebs cycle?
reduced NAD, reduced FAD, ATP
24
What combines with acetyl CoA in the Krebs cycle?
four-carbon compound
25
What is the six-carbon molecule converted to?
five-carbon molecule
26
What is released during the conversion?
carbon dioxide
27
What is produced alongside reduced NAD?
reduced FAD
