Card preview (7)
What is cell respiration?
• Controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP • Multi step process that occurs when both glucose and oxygen are present
What is Aerobic respiration?
• Reaction pathways thats require oxygen to break down nutrient molecules
Where does Aerobic respiration occur?
• Mitochondria (and cytoplasm)
Understanding for Aerobic respiration
• Requires oxygen and a large yield of ATP from glucose
Equation to remember
C6 H12 O6 + 6O 2 ———- 6H 2 O + 38ATP Glucose Oxygen Enzymes Water. Energy
Mitochondria diagram
• Outside = outer membrane • Outside of inner thing = inner membrane • Matrix & Cytoplasm = inner inner • Cristae = Edges of inner
Release of ATP/ from what molecule?
• Release a large amount of ATP(38) from one glucose molecule
