generating ATP

Oxygen

___ is a chemical process that uses light energy from the sun to build organic molecules

Photosynthesis --Humans and other animals depend on plants for food.--

Two molecules of what compound or produced by glycolysis? Does this molecule enter the citric acid cycle?

Pyruvic acid; No, it is first converted to acetic acid

If you exceed your aerobic capacity during a workout, your muscles cells will

Switch to an anaerobic respiration and produce lactic acid

Some friends are trying to make wine in their basement. They've added yeast to a sweet grape juice mixture and have a loud these to grow. After several days they find that sugar levels in the grape juice have dropped, but there's no alcohol in the mixture. The most likely explanation is that

The mixture needs less oxygen; yeast only produce alcohol in the absence of oxygen

A child is born with a rare disease in which mitochondria are missing from certain skeletal muscles. Physicians find that the muscle cells function. Not surprisingly, they also find that

The muscles contain large amounts of lactic acid following even mild physical exercise

oxidative phosphorylation

The production of ATP using energy derived from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain; the third major stage of cellular respiration.

Which statement describes the citric acid cycle

This process produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion.

Breathing faster when we exercise is necessary to expel

carbon dioxide and bring in more oxygen to support aerobic metabolism

Which of the following are produced as a result of cellular respiration

carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

What waste product do yeast produce under anaerobic conditions?

ethyl alcohol

Which of the following molecules is broken down in cellular respiration, providing fuel for the cell

glucose

Equation for aerobic cellular respiration

glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

___ is used as food and ___ Is produced as a waste in the overall process of cellular respiration

glucose and carbon dioxide

Which of the following processes takes place in the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell

glycolysis

Which of these stages of cell respiration can occur without the others

glycolysis

____ Is a metabolic pathway common to both fermentation and cellular respiration

glycolysis

The sequence of steps as energy is extracted from glucose during cellular respiration

glycolysis → acetyl CoA → citric acid cycle → electron transport chain Glycolysis produces pyruvic acid, which enters the mitochondrion. There, it is converted to acetyl CoA, Which enters the citric acid cycle. Electron carriers bring electrons from the first three steps to the electron transport chain, and ATP is made

The electron transport chain is a series Of electron carrier molecules. Where are these molecules located in eukaryotic cells

inner membrane of mitochondria

What kind of acid builds up in human muscle during strenuous activity

lactic acid

The main function of cellular respiration is

making ATP that powers cell activities

Electron transport takes place in the

mitochondria

Human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to

produce ATP without O2

Respiration describes the exchange of gases between your blood and the air. Cellular respiration ___

produces ATP

A product of glycolysis is ______.

pyruvic acid

In cellular respiration, most ATP is produced directly as a result of

the movement of hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane
