Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
The complex process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds.
Term
Energy convered into ATP
Definition
The energy of ATP is stored in the high energy phosphate bonds, ATP is ADP which has another phosphate attached to it.
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
The chemical process involving nine seprate reactions that break down glucose into two pyruvic acids and two ATP. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Term
How is Glucose transferred?
Definition
Gluscose is transferred from red blood cells through the cell membrane
Term
What is produced that makes muscles sore?
Definition
Lactic Acid.
Term
Define Autotroph
Definition
Organism that is able to make its own energy (photosytnthesis).
Term
What is the function of NAD and FAD?
Definition
NAD and FAD carry high energy hydrogen to electronic transport chain.
Term
Where does the electron transport chain occur?
Definition
In the cristae of the mitocondira.
Term
What is the fancy name for converting ADP to ATP?
Definition
Oxidative Phosphorylation.
Term
What is the final electron exceptor for the electron transport chain?
Definition
Oxygen.
Term
How many ATP are made from Anerobic Resperation?
Definition
2 ATP.
Term
At the end of Glycolysis what materials are produced?
Definition
Pyruvic Acid and ATP.
Term
Which stage of aerobic respiration produce water?
Definition
Electron Transport Chain.
Term
Where does the Krebb cycle occur?
Definition
Matrix of Mitocondria.
Term
How many ATP are produced from the Krebb cycle?
Definition
2 ATP.
Term
In Anerobic resperation, what is pryuvic acid converted into?
Definition
Lactic Acid.
Term
What is the net production of ATP in the electron transport chain?
Definition
32 ATP.
Term
Which stage of aerobic is carbon dioxide made?
Definition
Krebb cycle.
Term
What happens to lactic acid over time?
Definition
Goes into the live with oxygen present, and pyruvic acid is made.
Term
Which is more efficent to get more energy?
Definition
Aerobic.
Term
Under what conditions would cells in your body undergo lactic-acid fermentation?
Definition
When muscle cells are involved in strenuous exercise and the ody cannot supply them with oxygen rapidly enough to carry out aerobic resperation.
