Cellular Respiration Worksheet Name

1. What are the 2 metabolic pathways a cell can use and what determines which pathway is used?
aerobic respiration & anaerobic respiration: they depend on the presence or absence of oxygen

2. Write the overall equation for cellular respiration.

a. Anaerobic (Alcohol Fermentation): Glucose….ethanol alcohol + carbon dioxide
b. Anaerobic (lactate formation): Glucose….lactic acid
c. Aerobic: Glucose + oxygen yields carbon dioxide & water

3. What are the 3 phases of the aerobic cellular respiration process?

Glycolysis, Kreb’s Cycle, Electron Transport Chain

4. Where in the cell does the glycolysis part of cellular respiration occur? Why?
Cytoplasm; the necessary enzymes are located there

5. Where in the cell does the Kreb’s (Citric Acid) Cycle part of cellular respiration occur? Why?
Mitochondrial matrix; the necessary enzymes are located there

6. Where in the cell does the Electron Transport part of cellular respiration occur? Why?
Mitochondrial membrane/cristae; increased surface area for more ATP production

7. How many ATP are made in the anaerobic glycolysis part of cellular respiration?
2-3
8. How many ATP are made in the aerobic glycolysis part of cellular respiration?
2
9. How many ATP are made in the Kreb’s cycle part of cellular respiration?
2
10. How many ATP are made in the Electron transport part of cellular respiration?
32
11. In which phases of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide made?
Kreb’s Cycle
12. What are NAD+ and FAD? What do they do and what do they become?
They are electron carriers in the ETC; they become NADH and FADH2

13. In which phase of cellular respiration is water make?

ETC
14. What would happen to the cellular respiration process if the enzyme (aka catalyst) for one step
of the process was missing or defective?
The process would stop and no more products would be made

15. Where does the process of fermentation take place?

cytoplasm
16. What are the products of lactate fermentation?
Lactic acid
