Answer:
1. When food is broken down through digestion and metabolism, the energy stored in the food molecules is released and converted into a form of energy that cells can use, primarily in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
2. Cellular respiration occurs in all types of organisms, including both eukaryotes (like animals, plants, and fungi) and prokaryotes (like bacteria).
3. The necessary product of photosynthesis for cellular respiration is glucose, which is a sugar produced during the photosynthesis process in plants.
4. During glycolysis, a net of 2 ATP molecules are formed.
5. If glycolysis occurs in a yeast cell in a low oxygen environment, the yeast cell will undergo fermentation, specifically alcoholic fermentation, to continue generating ATP anaerobically.
6. Lactic acid builds up in muscle cells used repeatedly without much oxygen during anaerobic respiration.
7. Glycolysis is the first step in both glycolysis and anaerobic respiration. The main difference is that glycolysis is followed by the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration, while in anaerobic respiration, it's followed by fermentation processes.
8. The products of the Krebs cycle include ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide (CO2).
9. Water is produced during the electron transport chain (ETC) phase of cellular respiration.
10. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is given off during the Krebs cycle.
11. The end product of the electron transport chain (ETC) is water (H2O) when oxygen is present as the final electron acceptor.
12. The three big steps of aerobic respiration are glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle), and the electron transport chain.
13. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in the muscles and some microorganisms like certain bacteria.
14. During alcoholic fermentation, ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is produced from pyruvic acid.
15. Oxygen accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain (ETC) to form water.
16. The enzyme present at the end of the electron transport chain is ATP synthase.
17. Chemiosmosis in cellular respiration is the process where the flow of protons (H+) through ATP synthase drives the synthesis of ATP.
18. The Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.
19. The products of glycolysis include 2 ATP molecules, 2 NADH molecules, and 2 pyruvate molecules.
20. In the Krebs cycle, for one molecule of glucose, 6 NADH molecules, 2 FADH2 molecules, and 2 ATP molecules are produced.
21. One molecule of glucose creates two turns of the Krebs cycle.
22. The two important products of the electron transport chain (ETC) are ATP and water (H2O).
23. Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle together produce a net of 4 ATP molecules (2 from glycolysis and 2 from the Krebs cycle).
24. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen, and it involves the conversion of pyruvic acid into lactic acid.
25. Pyruvic acid must be converted into acetyl-CoA before it can enter the Krebs cycle, and this conversion requires coenzyme A (CoA).
26. The stage of cellular respiration that makes the most ATP is the electron transport chain (ETC), where a large number of ATP molecules are generated by oxidative phosphorylation.
