1
What is celluar respiration?
The breakdown of molecules to get energy
2
What are the steps of celluar respiration?
Glycloysis, Pyruvate, Citric acid cycle, Oxidative phosphorylation
3
During the second step in the phosphorylation process, glucose   and releases energy   which can be added to   to make  . With the help of   .
During the second step in the phosphorylation process, glucose is broken down and releases energy (phosphate group) which can be added to ADP to make ATP. With the help of ATP polymerase enzyme .
4
In step 3 of the phosphorylation process,   are released from the break down of gluclose and are carried by   to the  
In step 3 of the phosphorylation process, electrons are released from the break down of gluclose and are carried by electron carriers to the mitocondria electron transport chain
5
Name the two main electron carriers
NAD+ and FAD
6
What casues H+ atoms to get pushed out of the mitocondria?
The electron carriers with H+ atoms cause the other H+ atoms to move out because
7
In step 4 of the phosphorylation process the H+ atoms flow back into the mitochondria through a special enzyme called  , it helps the H+ to convert  to  . This is known as   .
In step 4 of the phosphorylation process the H+ atoms flow back into the mitochondria through a special enzyme called (ATP synthase), it helps the H+ to convert ADP to ATP. This is known as oxidative phosphorylation .
8
Redox reactions are...
The transfer of electrons between compounds. Oxidation is when a compound loses an electron and reduction is when a compound gains an electron.
9
If a carbon containg molecule gain H atoms or loses O atoms its likely has been...
Reduced
10
The breakdown of of gluclose into pyuvates
Glcolysis
11
Glcolysis
The breakdown of of gluclose into pyuvates
12
Pyuvates goes into the mitocondria matrix and creates acetyl CoA
Pyuvate oxidation
13
Pyuvate oxidation
Pyuvates goes into the mitocondria matrix and creates acetyl CoA
14
Acetyl CoA combines with a 4 carbon molecule through a series of reactions. ATP, NADH and FADH2 are produced and CO2 is released
Citric Cycle
15
Citric Cycle
Acetyl CoA combines with a 4 carbon molecule through a series of reactions. ATP, NADH and FADH2 are produced and CO2 is released
16
Oxidative Phosphorylation
When NADH and FADH2 deposit their electrons in the electron transport chain then revert back to their orginal form.
17
When NADH and FADH2 deposit their electrons in the electron transport chain then revert back to their orginal form.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
18
The electron transport chain (ETC) includes...
complex I, complex II, complex III, complex IV and ATP synthase
