chemical energy
1 of 17
how is the chemical energy in glucose released ?
through series of enzyme controlled reactions called respiration
2 of 17
what are the reactants of respiration ?
glucose + oxygen
3 of 17
what are the products of respiration ?
carbon dioxide + water + energy
4 of 17
what cellular activities can the ATP produced in respiration be used for ?
muscle cell contraction , transmission of nerve impulses , protein synthesis , cell division
5 of 17
whats the first stage of respiration ?
glycolysis
6 of 17
what happens in glycolysis ?
glucose is broken down into two pyruvate. happens in cytoplasm. produces 2 ATP
7 of 17
whats the second stage in aerobic respiration ?
the breakdown of pyruvate
8 of 17
what happens in the breakdown of pyruvate ?
pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. releases high yield pf ATP. happens in mitochondria
9 of 17
what happens if there is not enough oxygen fro aerobic respiration ?
the fermentation pathway takes place after glycolisis
10 of 17
what does the plant fermentation pathway produce ?
ethanol and carbon dioxide. irreversible.
11 of 17
what does the animal fermentation pathway produce ?
lactate
12 of 17
what causes fermentation in plants ?
drowned soils
13 of 17
what causes the fermentation pathway in animals ?
lots of hard exercise
14 of 17
whats the oxygen debt ?
produced during animal fermentation. repaid during recovery time
15 of 17
what measures the rate of respiration ?
respirometer
16 of 17
how is the rate of respiration calculated ?
volume ( cm3) divided by time ( min) divided by mass ( g )
