What is phosphorylation?
Adding a phosphate onto ADP to make ATP again. We get that energy from an outside source
Formula for glucose
C6 H12 O6
How is glucose obtained for animals and plants?
Animals get food, and plants get photosynthesis
What proteins help carry glucose out of the bloodstream and into the cells?
- Carrier proteins
- Insulin
- Facilitated diffusion
What is glycolysis?
To break down glucose into smaller pieces
Where is glycolysis located?
Cytoplasm
What is the function of glycolysis?
- Breaking of bonds releases energy that will be used for phosphorylation
- Produces 2 ATP (from ADP)
What is aerobic respiration?
A process in cellular respiration that uses oxygen to make energy from glucose
Where is aerobic respiration located?
Mitochondria
What is the function of aerobic respiration?
2 pyruvate go into the mitochondria, CO2 & 2 ATP are produced during the Krebs cycle. Products from the bonds are broken during a series of events to produce up to 34 ATP and H2O
What is anaerobic respiration?
Not needing or without oxygen
Where is anaerobic respiration located?
Cytoplasm
What happens in anaerobic respiration with animals?
- acid is formed, no further ATP
- lactic acid is produced when there is no oxygen present
What happens in anaerobic respiration with plants?
- fermentation (alcohol is fermed)
- produces alcohol from pyruvate in the cytoplasm
- no more ATP is formed
