Explain the Science of Cellular Respiration Terms Flashcards

C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂------ 6CO₂+ 6H₂O+Energy (40 ATP)

Body temperature would not be a normal 98.6 degrees. Cellular Respiration is what generates a person's body heat

Redox Reactions

-Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants -Oxidation Reduction *Redox during Cellular Respiration: The fuel is oxidized and oxygen is reduced

OXIDIZED (Xe-+Y-------X+Ye-) *Use this to help you remember: OIL= Oxidation Is Lost

REDUCED *Use this to help you remember: RIG= Reduction Is Gained

Y is the Oxidation Agent

Serves as an electron carrier *When NAD⁺ gains an electron: It becomes reduced (b/c: gaining electrons=reduction)

1. Glycolysis 2. The Citric Acid Cycle 3. Ocidative Phosphorylation

-Breaks down glucose into two molecules of Pyruvate -Essentially splits the glucose in half -Starting point for ALL respiration -Main Function: Transfer of Energy

Inputs: 2ATP + ADP + Glucose + NAD⁺ Outputs: 2Pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH

-In the cytosol *Glycolysis extracts 3% of energy found in glucose-- pretty inefficient

-An aerobic atmosphere (Does not require oxygen) -Prokaryotes- No organelles (happens in cytosol so no organelles -Nearly universal

-Aribose Sugar (5 Carbon Sugar), an Adenine, and 3 Phosphate groups on the end -Very UNSTABLE molecule The phosphates do not like eachother so they repel - Can't store ATP

-Releases energy that the cell can use -ATP is negatively charged -The remaining 2 Phosphates form to make ADP, spread out (which they like) -Cellular Respiration will try to put the 3rd Phosphate lost during the break back on
