CELLULAR RESPIRATION

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 –> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP

The process in which cells release the energy that is stored in glucose (found in ALL organism)

Glucose isn’t usable energy, organisms need to convert food into usable energy (ATP)

Relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen

Relating to, involving, or requiring the abscence of free oxygen (also known as fermentation)

In the cytoplasm, 6 carbon molecules is split in half making two 3-carbon/pyruvates (this is the first reactions for both aerobic and anaerobic)

The process of pyruvates diffusing into the mitochondria for further breakdown and energy extraction producing a lot of ATP (only happens if oxygen is available)

2 net gain of ATP, 2 NADH (carries hydrogen to mitochondria), 2 pyruvic acids (Only occurs if oxygen is present)

Reactants (Glucose + Oxygen) –> glycolysis –> kreb cycle –> ETC (Electron Transport Chain) –> Carbon Dioxide + Water + 34 ATP

In the mitochondria, pyruvates made from glycolysis enters the Krebs cycle to help produce carbon dioxide and 2 ATP energies

In the mitochondria, oxygen enters the ETC with the help of NADH and FADH2 producing water and 34 ATP

Produced when muscle cells run out of oxygen (The goal is to empty electron carriers & allow glycolysis to continue)

Often used to create alcoholic beverages, it requires anaerobic conditions to allow glycolysis to continue which Ethonal is produced with carbon dioxide

A clear, colorless, highly flammable compound commonly produced by fermenting plant sugars
