What is ATP made of?
Adenine, Ribose sugar and three phosphates
What does ATP become when energy is released?
ADP
Breathing vs Cellular Respiration
Breathing releases O2 to lungs and removes CO2 from cellular respiration
Cellular respiration converts glucose into ATP
Chemical formula of Glucose
C6 H12 O6
What type of molecule is ATP?
Nucleotide
Why is ATP superior in energy transfer?
Produces energy in small and quantitable amounts where there is far fewer heat loss
True or False, ADP can be regenerated back to ATP
True
Process where ATP is split to ADP is called
Hydrolysis
Process where ADP goes back to ATP is called
Condensation reaction
ATP is required for
Movement
Synthesis of macromolecules
Active Transport
What changes happen to the breakdown of Glucose in Anaerobic respiration?
Glucose is broken down without using oxygen, resulting in less ATP
When does anaerobic respiration happen?
Short and rapid burst of ATP is needed
When oxygen runs out of respiring cells
In areas where oxygen is deficient ( Waterlogged soil )
How does the body prevent further anaerobic respiration?
Through hydrogen ions that accumulate
Where does aerobic respiration take place?
In mitochondria
What affects the rate of cellular respiration?
Temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, glucose availability and enzyme activity
What is the shape of the ribose sugar in ATP?
Pentagon
Product of Anerobic Respiration
Lactice Acid / Lactate
Glycolysis
Metabolic pathway where glucose is broken down into pyruvate
How is lactic acid removed?
Travels through the blood plasma and goes to the liver where it is oxidised by oxygen
Where does Aerobic and Anaerobic respirations happen?
Anaerobic - Cytoplasm
Aerobic - Mitochondria
What is Pyruvate? And what else is produced along with it?
3 - Carbon organic molecule made from the breakdown of glucose. 2 ATP are made along with 2 Pyruvate molecules from the breakdown of glucose
How many ATPs are produced during Anaerobic and Aerobic respiration
Anaerobic - 2 ATP
Aerobic - 30 - 32 ATP
What is Acytel-CoA
Pyruvate molecule that was turned into Acetyl-CoA within the mitochondria and is a key molecule within the start of the Krebs Cycle
