Question

Write the balance equation for cellular respiration What are the three steps in cellular respiration? What are the steps in fermentation? How many net ATP are generated from glycolysis? What are the names of the two electron carrying molecules? In his humble opinion, what is the most important biochemical reaction? Write the chemical formula for glucose What molecule is used as the money of the cell? How many ATP molecules are ideally produced? Where are the abundant ATP produced? Is the name of the cycle in cellular respiration? Is glycolysis an aerobic process?

Explanation / Answer

(1) C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 -------------> 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy (ATP)

(2) Glycolysis, krebs cycle and electron transport system

(3) Glycolysis forms pyruvate which is reduced to lactate or ethanol in fermentation

C6H12O6 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2

(4) 38 ATPs are generated

(5)NADH and FADH

(6) Krebs cycle, since it provides intermediates for amino acids and fatty acid biosynthesis.

(7) C6H12O6

(8) ATP

(9) 38 ATP is only produced in an ideal case of cellular respiration

(10) Mitochondria

(11) Krebs cycle

(12) glycolysis is anaerobic since it does not require oxygen
