Description

General Biology Cellular Respiration Webquest Cellular respiration is a very complicated process that gives each cell energy, or ATP (the cell currency). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00jbG_cfGuQ 1.

What is the chemical formula for glucose? C6H12O6

2.

Give another name for adenosine triphosphate ATP

3.

List the molecules that make up ATP Adenine ring, ribose sugar and three phosphate groups

4.

Approximately how many molecules of ATP are made with one molecule of glucose 38 atp molecule

5.

Name the three steps of cellular respiration Glycolysis , the krebs cycle and the electron transport

6.

Explain what happens during glycolysis One molecule of glucose is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.

7.

What are the products of glycolysis Two pyruvate, two NADH and two ATP

8.

Which processes are anaerobic and which are aerobic

Glycolysis is anaerobic because it can happen without the presence of oxygen. The krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation is aerobic as these steps require oxygen. 9.

Where does glycolysis take place and where does the Krebs cycle take place Glycolysis takes place in a cells cytoplasm and the krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

10.

Why are enzymes important for these reactions Enzymes are type of protein that work as catalysts for cellular respiration. They can lower the energy required to start a reaction.

11.

What is another name for the Citric acid cycle The krebs cycle

12.

What vitamins are the co-enzymes FAD and NAD+ related to Riboflavin, adenine, ribose, phosphate

13.

How many FADH2 and NADH are produced from breaking down two pyruvates Three NADH and one FADH2

14.

Where is ATP made? mitochondria...
