Bio-181 Chapter 9what is the breakdown of organic molecules? - correct answer exergonic Fermentation - correct answer is a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2 aerobic respiration - correct answer consumes organic molecules and O2and yields ATP What is the role of oxygen in this whole process? - correct answer Anaerobic respiration - correct answer is similar to aerobic respiration but consumes compounds other than O2 Cellular respiration - correct answer includes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration but is often used to refer to aerobic respiration Although carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all consumed as fuel, it is helpful to trace cellular respiration with the sugar glucose - correct answer C6H12O6+6 O2→6 CO2+6 H2O +Energy (ATP +heat) Redox reactions - correct answer Chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants are called oxidation-reduction reactions, oxidation - correct answer a substance loses electrons ,or is oxidized Reduction - correct answer a substance gains electrons, or is reduced (the amount of positive charge is reduced) reducing agent - correct answer The electron donor
