15
What is cellular respiration?
a process to generate energy (ATP)
16
What is the reaction for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
17
In a cellular respiration reaction, what does it give off a lot of?
energy and heat
18
Where does ATP energy come from?
Glucose
19
What id the Difference between ADP and ATP?
ADP: 2 phosphate groups, uses less energy
ATP: 3 phosphate groups, uses more energy
20
When a phosphate is __ from ADP, energy is __ and ATP is created
Added; stored
21
When a phosphate is ___ from ATP, energy is ___ and ADP is created
released;realeased
22
What three functions that a cell would need ATP for ?
Active transprot, endo/exocytosis,enzyme-catalyzed rxn
23
Glucose is oxidized in cellular respiration. What does this mean?
electron are removed (lost) from glucose
24
Is this oxidized or reduced: NAD+ --> NADH
reduced
25
s this oxidized or reduced: 1/2O2-->H20
reduced
26
In order, what is the steps of cellular respiration
1) Glycosis
2) Link Reactions
3) Krebs Cycle
4) Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
27
Which phase of cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell?
Glycolysis
28
Which phases of celular respiration occue in the mitochondria
Link rxn, krebs, etc
29
which of the four phases of cellular respiration require oxygen
etc
30
which of the four phases of cellular respiration produce carbon dioxide
krebs
31
which of the four phases of cellular respiration produce water
etc
32
which of the four steps of cell respiration produces the most atp
etc
33
How many ATPs (in total) are produced for every glucose molecule that undergoes cellular respirtion
36
34
whats phosphorylation
addition of a phosphatte (PO4^-3) molecule to an organic molecule
35
what are the phases of glycolysis
1) energy investment
2) oxidation
3) energy payoff
36
glyco-lysis what does this mean
splitting of glucose; splitting of a sugar molecule
37
what is the purpose of the energy investment phase of glycolysis
adding phosphates from atp to glucose makes the glucose less stable

+ more likely to react
38
what is the name of the energy to start a chemical reaction
activation energy
39
how many atp are invested in glycolysis
2
40
What molecule is reduced as glucose is oxidized in glycolysis
NAD+ is reduced to NADH. when eelctrons are removed from glucose, they are added to NAD+ which acts like an uber for e^- carrying them to other phases of cellular respiration
41
what is the net atp a cell gain from glycolysis
2 atp
42
what is substrate level phosphorylation
meaning, the phosphates added to ADP are transferred directly from glucose-intermediates to create atp
43
How many carbons are in glucose
6
44
glucose is broken down in our cells into 2 molecules of pyruvate. how many carbons are in each pyruvate
3
45
pyruvate enters the interior of the mitochondria called the...
matrix
46
what is decarboxylation
removal of CO2
47
how do you know something is oxidized in link reaction
when nad+ becomes nadh, because nadh is reduced, something was oxidized (if something was reduced, something is always oxidized)
48
At the start of the Kreb's cycle: explain how 4 carbon oxaloacetate forms a 6 carbon citric
oxacloacetate (4 carbon) is added to acetic acid (2 carbon) to make citric acid (6 carbon)
49
what are the phases of kreb's cycle?
1) decarboxylation
2) oxidation
3) ATP production
50

what happens durnig decarboxylation during krebs
CO2 is produced; removal of 2 one carbon CO2 from 6 carbon cirtric acid results in 4 carbon oxacloacetate
51
What happens during oxidation in krebs
NAD+ and FAD are reduces. They become NADH + FADH2
52
What happens during ATP production during krebs--A small amt of ATP is also created by substrate level phosphorylation. Why is there two cycles of krebs?
there are two molecules of acetyle CoA after the link rxn. each undergoes the krebs
53
Which step is where glucose is fullly oxidized
ETC and Oxidative Phosphorylation
54
What type of transport moves the H+ ions our of matrix; how u know
active transport--h+ are moved against their concentration gradient
55
in ETC, when oxygen is reduced, what happens?
H20 is created
56
When NAD+ and FAD is used, where are they recycled. from where to where?
ETC to Krebs
57
For every NADH, how. many atp are produced
3
58
for every FADH, how many atp are produced
2
59
total atp produced during cellular respiration
38
60
how does the presence of a double membrane support the endosymbiotic theory?
the inner membrane could have been the membrane of a prokaryotic organism + the outer membrane a vescile
61
the inner membrane has numerous folds called cristae, why?
so it maximizes space and creates more surface area
62
which step in cellular respiration happens outside the mitochondria?
glycolysis
63
why is it important to have a small space between the membranes?
to build up a high concentration (gradient) more quickly in a smaller space
64
what happens inside the matrix
link rxn, krebs cycle
65
the matrix contains numerous enzyme, how would this be helpful for the reaction that occur inside the matrix
more enzymes means enzymes + their substrate have greater chance of coming into contact with each other
66
What two respeication pathways are there?
anaerobic and aerobic
67
what pathway is with glycolysis, krebs, and etc?
aerobic respiration
68
what is anareobic respiration?
cell respiration without oxygen
69
why do we need to perform anareobic respiration?
when we're low on oxygen
70
instead of pyruvate being broken down into CO2, what product does pyruvate become in anaerobic respirationfermentaion?
