U3 AOS2: Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the products of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (6 CO2), Water (6 H2O), and Energy (30/32 ATP)

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces 30/32 ATP, while anaerobic fermentation produces 2 ATP.

Front

What are the byproducts of anaerobic fermentation?

Back

Lactic acid (2 C3H6O3) and Ethanol (2 C2H5O6)

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Cytosol

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria is where the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain occur.

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain?

Back

To produce ATP through the transfer of electrons.

Front

What are the inputs and outputs of glycolysis?

Back

Inputs: Glucose (6-carbon), 2 ADP + 2 Pi, 2 NAD+ + 2 H+ (2 e-); Outputs: 2 pyruvate (3-carbon), 2 ATP, 2 NADH

Front

What are the inputs and outputs of the Krebs cycle?

Back

Inputs: 2 Pyruvate, 2 Coenzyme A (CoA), 6 NAD+ + 6 H+ (6 e-), 2 FAD + 4 H+; Outputs: 4 CO2, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2

Front

What is the role of ATP synthase in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP synthase produces ATP from ADP and Pi using the proton gradient.
