Cellular Respiration Final

The process occurring within living cells which releases chemical energy stored in food as shown in the following reaction is called:
Glucose -> CO2 + H2O + Energy

The majority of the energy released in the breakdown of glucose is trapped by an energy transfer compound known as:

The energy transfer compound described in the preceding problem which traps the majority of the energy released in the breakdown of glucose:

Once formed, the energy transfer compound referred to in the preceding problem releases its stored energy needed for the maintenance of various activities within the cell by:

The first major set of reactions occurring in the breakdown of glucose involves the stripping away of hydrogen atoms resulting in the production of two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. This process is called:

Under the right conditions, the hydrogen atoms which are stripped away during the process described in the preceding problem are picked up by a carrier molecule known as:

The carrier molecules referred to in the preceding problem transfer the hydrogen ions and their high-energy electrons to a system which moves the electrons down an energy gradient. This system is called the:

After the electrons have passed through the system described in the preceding problem, the hydrogen ions and their electrons are picked up by another hydrogen acceptor which is:

The compound formed from the union of the hydrogen ions, electrons, and the hydrogen acceptor molecule described in the preceding problem is:

The entire sequence of reactions described from problems 5 to 9 will occur:

When no oxygen is present, the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid results in the net production of ______ molecules of ATP.

When no oxygen is present, the conditions are said to be:

Under the conditions described in the preceding problem, the pyruvic acid formed from the breakdown of glucose can be further broken down under an overall process known as:

The ultimate hydrogen acceptor molecule in the process described in the preceding problem is:

In yeast cells the final end product(s) of the process described in problem 13 is/are:

In animal cells, the final end product(s) of the process described in problem 13 is/are

If the conditions are aerobic the overall breakdown of glucose continues, as pyruvic acid is further broken down in a second major set of reactions called:

Before actually entering the process described in the preceding problem, each molecule of pyruvic acid is first broken down to form:

Acetyl - CoA formed in the breakdown of pyruvic acid transfers a 2-carbon acetyl group to a molecule of:
