Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
Chemical reaction that converts glucose to ATP
Term
Anaerobic
Definition
occuring withOUT oxygen
Term
Aerobic
Definition
requires oxygen
Term
Cristae
Definition
inner membrane of mitochondria
Term
Kreb's Cycle
Definition
2nd stage of C.R.
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
1st stage of C.R.
Term
ETC
Definition
3rd stage of C.R.
Term
ATP Synthase
Definition
3rd stage of C.R. makes majority of ATPs
Term
ATP
Definition
Universal form of energy used by cells
Term
Autotroph
Definition
organism that produces its own food
Term
Producer
Definition
Produces its own food (chemical energy)
Term
Heterotroph
Definition
organism that cannot produce its own food
Term
Consumer
Definition
Does NOT produce its own food
Term
Photosynthesis
Definition
Chemical reaction converts light energy to chemical energy
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
energy of motion
Term
Potential Energy
Definition
stored energy
Term
Thermal Energy
Definition
energy of atoms vibrating (heat)
Term
Chemical Energy
Definition
stored energy in bonds of a compound
Term
Calorie
Definition
unit used to measure chemical energy; energy requried to raise 1g of water 1 degree
Term
Metabolism
Definition
All chemical reactions in an organism combined
Term
Fermentation
Definition
The chemical production of ATP without oxygen
Term
Matrix
Definition
Inner fluid in the mitochondria
Term
What is similar about the way autotrophs and heterotrophs get their cellular energy?
Definition
They both perform cellular respiration and convert energy into ATP form
Term
What is different about the way autotrophs and heterotrophs get their cellular energy?
Definition
Autotrophs convert light energy (or another source) into chemical energy and they do this themselves. Heterotrophs obtain chemical energy already made and convert it to ATP.
Term
How does cellular respiration harvest energy from food?
Definition
Glucose (a form of chemical energy) is broken down and converted into ATP
Term
Why is the sun vital for life on Earth?
Definition
It is the source of energy used by many producers to form glucose
Term
How are kinetic and potential energy different?
Definition
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion while potential energy is stored.
Term
What is chemical energy?
Definition
A form of potential energy that is stored in the bonds of a chemical compound.
Term
How do cells release chemical energy from food?
Definition
Organisms break the bonds in the compounds and use that energy to form ATP
Term
What is a Calorie?
Definition
The unit/value of energy required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree
Term
What kind of energy do you have at the top of steps or while in the top of a tree?
Definition
Potential energy
Term
Where in the ATP molecule is energy stored for cellular use?
Definition
Between the 2nd and 3rd Phosphate on the phosphate tail
Term
Name the three types of work a cell can perform.
Definition
"Transport, chemical, & mechanical"
Term
"Explain why ATP is sometimes compared to a ""rechargeable battery"" or a ""reuseable gift card"""
Definition
Because it can be used over and over again as energy is used to rebond the phosphate onto the tail
Term
Explain the roles of breathing versus cellular respiration.
Definition
Breathing exchanges the gases (Oxygen & carbond dioxide) and produces (water) between the cells and the environment. Cellular respiration actually breaks down the glucose
Term
Write out the equation for cellular respiration:
Definition
Glucose & Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide & Water & ATP
Term
"What are electrons actually doing when they ""fall""?"
Definition
They are moving from higher energy levels to lower energy levels
Term
What is released when an electron falls?
Definition
A small amount of energy
Term
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Definition
Glucose and oxygen
Term
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Definition
"Water, Carbon Dioxide and ATP"
Term
Does the ETC release energy all at once or in small steps? Explain
Definition
"ETC releases energy in small steps, a small amount is released as each e- drops energy levels"
Term
Name the three stages of Cellular Respiration in the order they occur.
Definition
"Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, ETC & ATP Synthase"
Term
Name the reactants/products of glycolysis:
Definition
"Reactants: glucose Products: 2ATPs, 2 Pyruvic Acids, 2 NADH"
Term
Name the reactants/products of Kreb's Cycle:
Definition
"Reactants: 2 Pyruvic Acids Products: 2ATPs, 6NADH , 2FADH, 4CO2"
Term
Name the reactants/products of ETC & ATP Synthase
Definition
"Reactants: Oxygen, NADH & FADH Products: 34 ATPs, Water"
Term
Name the location of each of the stages of Cellular Respiration:
Definition
Glycolysis-cytoplasm Kreb's- Matrix ETC/ATP Synthase- Cristae (inner membrane)
Term
How is Fermentation similar to Cellular Respiration
Definition
Both break down glucose and produce ATP
Term
How is Fermentation different from Cellular Respiration?
Definition
"Fermentation is anaerobic, C.R. is aerobic, Fermentation produces 2ATPs, C.R. produces 38 ATPs per glucose"
Term
What food products are made using fermentation?
Definition
"Alcohol, cheese,soy sauce, bread, yogurt, sauerkraut"
Term
What is a waste product produced by muscles performing fermentation?
Definition
"lactic acid, which makes your muscles sore"
Term
What kinds of cells perform celllular respiration?
Definition
ALL cells!
