calorie

Definition

 

 

 

 

The amount of energy required

to raise the temperature of one gram of

water by 10 C. (p. 221)

Term

 

 

 

 

glycolysis

Definition

 

 

The first step in releasing the

energy of glucose in which a molecule

of glucose is broken into 2

molecules of pyruvic acid. (p221)

 

* Occurs in the cytoplasm of cells.

Term

 

 

 

 

Cellular

respiration

Definition

 

The process that releases energy

by breaking down food molecules

in the presence of O2; includes

glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, &

the electron transport chain (p. 222)

Term

 

 

 

 

 

NAD+

Definition

 

 

 

 electron carrier involved in glycolysis

& the Kreb's Cycle that becomes

energized by accepting a pair

of high energy electrons (p. 223)

 

Term

 

 

 

 

 

fermentation

Definition

 

 

 The process by which cells release

energy from glucose in the absence of

O2; this process keeps glycolysis

going by breaking down

NADH into NAD+ (p.224)

Term

 

 

 

 

 

anaerobic

Definition

 

 

 

 A process such as glycolysis &

fermentation that does

not require oxygen (p. 224)

Term

 

 

 

2 pyruvic acid,  

 2 A.T.P. & 2 N.A.D.H.

 

Definition

 

 

 

Products of Glycolysis

Term

 

 


alcohol + CO2 + NAD+

 


 

Definition

 

 

 

Products of

alcoholic fermentation.

Term

 

 

 

6

Definition

 

 

 

The number of molecules of     O2

produced by cell respiration.

 

Term

 

 

 

 

  • calorie:  is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 Celsius degree.
  • Calorie:  is used on food labels is a kilocalorie, or 1000 calories.

    Definition

     

     

     

     

    The number of molecules of     H2O

    produced by cell respiration.

    Definition

     

     

     

    Type of human cells

    that may undergo lactic

    acid fermentation

    Term

     

     

     

     

     

    aerobic

    Definition

     

     

     

     

     

    process that requires air

    Term

     

     

     

     

    Krebs cycle

    Definition

     

     

    2nd stage of cellular respiration,

    in which pyruvic acid is broken

    down into CO2 in a series of

    energy-extracting reactions (p. 226)

    Term

     

     

    electron

    transport

    chain

    Definition

     

     

     

    a series of proteins in which the

    high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle

    are used to convert ADP into ATP (p 228)

    Term

     

    Why is the Krebs cycle

     also known as

     the citric acid cycle?

    Definition

    Part A ends with citric acid,

     then in Part B the citric acid is broken down which ends up as ATP to be used for cellular activity (energy!).

    See page 227 in text book

    Term

     

     

    Why do runners

    breathe heavily after a race?

    Definition

    You can think of a quick sprint building up an oxygen debt that a runner has to repay after the race with plenty of heavy breathing.

     

    When the race is over, the only way to get rid of lactic acid is in a chemical pathway that requires extra oxygen.

    Term

     

     

     

    Lactic

    Acid Fermentation

    Definition

     

     

     

    Can usually suppy enough

    ATP to last only about

    90 seconds.

    Term

     

     

     

    Cellular

    Respiration

    Definition

     

     

    For exercise longer than about 90 seconds,  is the

    only way to generate a

    continuous supply of ATP.

    Term

     

     

     

    Comparing photosynthesis

    & Cellular Respiration

    Definition

    They are almost opposite processes. 

     

    Earlier in the chapter, the chemical energy in carbohydrates was compared to money in a savings account.  Photosynthesis is the process that "deposits"  energy.  Cellular respiration is the process that "withdraws" energy. The equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the reverse of each other.
