Summary of Cellular Respiration


Comparison between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Complete the table below to summarize the difference between aerobic & anaerobic
respiration.
Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration
1. Oxygen required

2. Where chemical reaction


takes place

3. process

4. production of ATP

5. ability to sustained

6. main function

7. requirement of sunlight

8. fate of oxygen and


carbon dioxide
Complete the following concept on cellular respiration by filling in the blanks with the
correct word/s.

Glycolysis

Glycolysis literally means __¬¬¬¬_________-“splitting”. In glycolysis, the


__________ - carbon sugar glucose is split into ___ molecules pyruvate, also called
___________ acid. This process produces a net gain of ____ ATP molecules. The
resulting molecules of pyruvate each have ______ carbon atoms. Glycolysis takes place
in the cell’s ________________. The remainder of cellular respiration takes place in
organelles called ____________.

The Kreb’s Cycle

The Kreb’s Cycle takes place in the fluid – filled area inside the inner membrane
of the mitochondria known as the ________________. Some and the other energy
carrying molecules are produced here. The gas ____________________is a byproduct of
this process.

The Electron Transport Chain

Most of the ______________is produced in the last step of cellular respiration.


Electron transport takes place in the infoldings of the inner – membrane of the
mitochondria. These infoldings are called _________________. At the end of electron
transport,_____________ combines with hydrogen ions and ______________ (e¬-) to
form.

Overall Process

glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + 38 ______________

Fermentation

In the Absence of ________________, the cell resorts to anaerobic metabolism.


In animal cells, pyruvate is converted to _________________ acid. In yeast and bacteria,
the pyruvate is often converted to ________________ in both cases, no new ATP is
produced, so the net production of the ________________ carrying molecule is only the
_____________ molecules of ATP produced in glycolysis.
