Aerobic cellular respiration vs. Anaerobic cellular respiration
Fermentation= anaerobic cellular respiration
Lactic Acid Fermentation and Alcoholic Fermentation
Track the energy through cell respiration
The difference between respiration and cellular respiration
The reactants and products of cell respiration.
The overall equation for cellular respiration.
How the energy is carried in cellular respiration
Redox reactions
Oxidation vs Reduction
What is oxidized in cellular respiration and what is reduced
Know when NADH is oxidized and when NAD+ is reduced in aerobic cellular respiration and anaerobic
cellular respiration
Oxygen’s role in cellular respiration
How water is formed
Know the stages of cellular respiration in order
When substrate level phosphorylation occurs and what that means
When oxidative phosphorylation occurs and what that means
Common metabolic pathway in aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration
Know what molecules are produced in each stage and where each stage occurs (Glycolysis, Oxidation
of pyruvate, Citric Acid Cycle or Kreb’s Cycle)
Be able to follow the breakdown of glucose from glucose to when it joins with oxaloacetic acid
Know what happens in the Electron Transport Chain and how NADH and FADH2 are involved and
where it occurs
Know what happens in chemiosmosis and where it occurs
Know where most of the energy is stored at the end of the citric acid cycle
Know how ATP Synthase is involved in cellular respiration
Know how cristae affect cellular respiration
How much chemical energy available in glucose is converted to ATP energy
Total yield of ATP molecules in cellular respiration and where most of that ATP comes from
Which produces more ATP aerobic or anaerobic respiration
What is the purpose of converting pyruvate in Lactic Acid fermentation and Alcoholic fermentation
Obligate anaerobes vs. Facultative anaerobes
Why glycolysis is considered an ancient metabolic process
Feedback inhibition by ATP molecules
Understand the relationship between metabolism, cellular respiration, and endotherm (warmblooded and ectotherm (cold-blooded) organisms
