Why do living things require energy?
Where does that energy come from?
What is cellular respiration?
Compare and contrast ATP and ADP in terms of structure.
Explain the energy cycle in the cell.
Where is the energy stored in the ATP molecule?
Compare and contrast oxidation and reduction reactions.
What is a biochemical pathway?
What is a hydrogen acceptor?
What are the 2 coenzymes that act as hydrogen acceptors in cellular
respiration and why is the energy they gain only temporary?
What is the major difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration?
What is glycolysis? Describe the biochemical pathway of glycolysis.
What is fermentation? Describe its biochemical pathway.
What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?
Describe the breakdown of pyruvic acid.
Describe the Kreb’s Cycle. Why is it referred to as a
"cycle?"
Describe the electron transport chain. Why is it not a cycle?
What is the resulting chemical equation for aerobic respiration?
Be able to summarize the energy produced from a single molecule of
glucose for each of the 4 stages of cellular respiration.
Explain where each stage of cellular respiration occurs and why we
produce only 36 molecules of ATP instead of the predicted 38 molecules of
ATP.
What causes lactic acid buildup in muscles during strenuous exercise?
Briefly describe how proteins and lipids are metabolized to produce
ATP.
