8 Cell Respiration

ATP Production

Define cell respiration

cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to produce ATP.

Describe how ATP acts as the energy currency for the cell

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..........
The advantage of ATP as an energy supply is that the energy is immediately available.

Compare anaerobic and aerobic respiration

Anaerobic Aerobic

Required Conditions no oxygen needs oxygen
2 ATP per glucose
Energy Yield up to 38 ATP per glucose

carbon dioxide and water

lactate OR ethanol and carbon dioxide
Products


Location cell's cytoplasm cell's mitochondria

Outline the purpose (and products) of fermentation

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..........
fermentation is a kind of anaerobic respiration. extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.
products of fermentation are lactic acid and ethanolic fermentations.

Describe the use of respirometry in measuring respiration rates

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..........
Respirometers can be used to perform various experiments:
the respiration rate of different organisms could be compared;
the effect of temperature on respiration rate could be investigated;
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..........
respiration rates could be compared in active and inactive organisms.
