Cellular Respiration Study Guide Exam Questions with Correct Answers 100% Verified|
Guaranteed Success
Aerobic Respiration requires oxygen
Anaerobic Respiration does not require oxygen
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm; anaerobic respiration reaction; net profit of 2 ATP
molecules; series of chemical reactions that break down glucose (6-carbon compound) into two
molecules of pyruvic acid (3-carbon compound)
Pyruvic Acid (3-carbon compound) changed to acetic acid (2-carbon compound) and the 3rd
carbon atom forms into carbon dioxide
Acetic Acid combines with co-enzyme A and forms acetyl-CoA
Citric Acid Cycle (Kreb's Cycle) occurs in the mitochondria; aerobic respiration reaction;
forms ATP and carbon dioxide by the breaking down of acetyl CoA molecules; releases
additional electrons passed on to the electron transport chain
Electron Transport Chain series of molecules along which electrons are transferred,
releasing energy; located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria; aerobic respiration
reaction; final reaction is oxygen
Fermentation energy production under anaerobic conditions
produces ATP when oxygen is scarce
Lactic Acid Fermentation glucose is formed into pyruvic acid
the pyruvic acid is then formed into lactic acid and added to 2 ATP
