Term
Why do cells need energy?
Definition
Mitosis(cell division)
repairing damaged cells+ tissues
cellular functions-muscle movement, nerve cells(send signals), pancreas(produce/release enzymes)
Produce heat
Term
What goes in cell reasp?
Definition
Oxygen
Glucose
Term
What goes out of cell resp?
Definition
Water
Carbon Dioxide
Energy
Term
Cell Respiration
-chemical reaction
Definition
6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
Term
Energy output is quite ______?
Definition
Large
(Way more than a cell would need for only one task)
Term
Where is the energy released stored?
Definition
In the small chemical packets called ATP
Term
How is energy stored and replaced?
Definition
We say that when O2 and C6H12O6 smash together they break apart releasing energy--> not exactly true!

When bonds break-->Energy is required
When bonds form--> Energy is released
Different bonds use different amounts of energy
*When bonds break they go on their own, making them connect with other (CO2/H2O) making energy
*Banging them together makes them contract energy, pulling them back, forms energy
Term
4 major stages of cellular respiration?
Definition
Glycolysis-Cytoplasm
Pyruvate Oxidation- Mitochondrion
Kreb's Cycle-Mitochondrion matrix
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)- Cristae
Term
Summary of glycolysis?
Definition
Products------------------>Destination
2 pyruvic acid------------->P.O.
4ATP- USED 2ATP=2ATP---->Cell Activities
2 NADH2---------------->E.T.C.
Term
Is cell respiration exothermic?
Definition
Yes
Term
Summary of Pyruvate Oxidation?
Definition
Products------>Destination
2 Acetyl COA----->Kreb's cycle
2 CO2----->Waste then exhaled
2 NADH2---->ETC
-2 ATP-----> Nothing
Term
Summary of Krebs cycle?
Definition
6 NADH2----->ETC
2 FADH2----->ETC
2 ATP-------->Cell Activities
4CO2--------> Waste then exhaled
Term
Where is the ETC located?
Definition
Within the Cristae
Term
What is the ETC?
Definition
Chain of proteins that act as a series of shuttles cristae end pumps
Term
Big ones ____?
Definition
Pump
Term
Small ones ____?
Definition
Shuttle
Term
What does the pump do?
Definition
Pumps hydrogen ions from the matrix to the inter membrane space in order to create a concentration gradient
Term
How many ATP are created from ETC?
Definition
*1 ATP per 2H+ that run through ATP synthase
1 NADH2 will make 3 ATP
10 NADH2 will create 30 ATP
*1 FADH2 can create 2 ATP
2 FADH2 can create 3 ATP
Term
Total ATP from cell respiration
Definition
glycolysis: 2 ATP
P.O. : -2 ATP
Kreb's: 2 ATP
ETC: 34 ATP
=36 ATP from 1 glucose
Term
How efficient is cell respiration?
How much of the energy is wasted?
Definition
Make 36 ATP / in theory 95 ATP = 38& efficiency
62% of the energy is wasted
Term
What is anaerobic respiration?
Definition
It involves the production of small amounts of ATP in the absence of O2
Term
Anaerobic respiration
Definition
No O2-> e- will back up in the ETC-> no pumps ->no chemiosmotic gradient-> no ATP from ETC->in addition->if ETC is backed up->NADH2 builds up-> no free NAD-> Kreb's, P.O. and glycolysis stop!->Death!
Term
Anaerobic Respiration(fermentation)
Definition
In order to stay alive in the short term we have evolved a mechanism to generate 2 ATP by allowing glycolysis to continue
Term
Fermentation
Definition
Produces 2 ATP by allowing glycolysis to continue
*must free up NAD
*get rid of the building up pyruvate(poisonous)
Term
Organsims can do 1 of ____ types of fermentation
Definition
2
Term
Lactic acid fermentation
Definition
Most organisms, including humans
Term
Alcoholic fermentation
Definition
Some bacteria, yeast
Term
Lactic Acid Fermentation is used by ____ when _____
Definition
Aerobic when no O2 is available

(Allows glycolysis to proceed and make @ ATPn for every glucose used -> short term only
Term
Facts about Lactic Acid
Definition
Less poisonous
causes stinging, burning, cramping
