Definition
C6H12O6
Term
What is a calorie?
Definition
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.
Term
What does the process of making energy start with?
Definition
Glycolysis
Term
What path does glycolysis lead when no oxygen is present?
Definition
Glycolysis, then Lactic Acid Fermentation
Term
When oxygen is present, what path does glycolysis lead?
Definition
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Term
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
Definition
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Term
What does cellular respiration require?
Definition
Oxygen, and a food molecule
Term
What does cellular respiration give off?
Definition
Carbon Dioxide, Water and ATP
Term
What is the first step of cellular respiration?
Definition
Glycolysis
Term
How much ATP is produced in Glycolysis?
Definition
2 molecules of ATP total produced
Term
What is NAD+?
Definition
A carrier molcule
Term
What does Glycolysis not need?
Definition
Oxygen
Term
What happens when NAD+ is not present, what happens?
Definition
ATP production stops
Term
What does Fermentation release in the absence of oxygen?
Definition
ATP
Term
What does anaerobic mean?
Definition
"Not in air"
Term
What are the two main types of Fermentation?
Definition
1. Alcoholic Fermentation 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation
Term
What is the equation for alcohol Fermentation
Definition
Pyruvic acid + NADH ---> Alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
Term
When is Lactic Acid produced?
Definition
When the body cannot supply enough oxygen
Term
Who discovered the Krebs Cycle?
Definition
Hans Krebs
Term
Hows does the Krebs Cycle begin?
Definition
When Pyruvic Acid enters the mitochondrion
Term
Describe the Krebs Cycle
Definition
First, Pyruvic Acid enters the cycle, then an atom of pyruvic acid becomes a part of a molecule of carbon dioxide, and is released into the air. The other two molecules are joined together by coenzyme A to form acetyl-A produces a 6-carbon molecule called citric acid. The citric acid is broken down into a 4-carbon molecule and more carbon dioxide is released. Then the four carbon molecule has carriers take more out of it to be used again by the cycle.
Term
How are high energy electrons passed from the Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain?
Definition
Though electron carriers, NAD+ and FADH
Term
Where is the ETC in Eukaryotes?
Definition
The inner membrance of the mitochondrion
Term
What does Glycolysis produce?
Definition
2 ATP
Term
How much ATP is produce in Cellular Respiration?
Definition
36 ATP
Term
What are the waste products of Cellular Respiration?
Definition
Water and Carbon Dioxide
Term
What is the percent usage of ATP?
Definition
38% used, 62% used as heat
Term
What is independent assortment?
Definition
When genes assort independently
