Cellular Respiration/Fermentation Review Sheet

1. Write the chemical equation for cellular respiration. Circle the reactants and underline the products.

C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H2O + ATP (ENERGY)

2. Where in the cell does cellular respiration occur? MITOCHONDRIA

3. Label the parts of the mitochondria - outer membrane, inner membrane, cristae (folds on the
inner membrane), fluid matrix
INNER

4. Where do we get glucose from? THE FOOD WE EAT

5. What gas combines with glucose in order for glucose to break down? OXYGEN

6. What type of organisms carry out cellular respiration? ALL LIVING THINGS

7. What does cellular respiration produce for our cells? ENERGY

8. Where is the energy in glucose stored? ATP MOLECULES

9. What do humans & animals do with the CO2 produced when glucose breaks down?

EXHALE AS A WASTE PRODUCT

10. What do plants do with the CO2 produced during cellular respiration?

THEY STORE IT IN THEIR CELLS & USE IT FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS

11. What do we do with the H2O produced when glucose breaks down?

STORE IT, USE IT TO MAINTAIN CELL HEALTH, OR EXCRETE AS A WASTE PRODUCT

12. What do plants do with the H2O they produce during cellular respiration?

THEY STORE IT IN THEIR CELLS & USE IT FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS

13. Name 5 ways we use this energy.

ANSWERS WILL VARY – ENERGY IS NEEDED TO DO EVERYTHING/SURVIVE!

14. What does glycolysis mean? BREAKING/SPLITTING GLUCOSE

15. Where in the cell does glycolysis occur? CYTOPLASM

16. What is glucose broken down into during glycolysis? PYRUVATE/PYRUVIC ACID

17. Does glycolysis need/require O2? NO

18. Is glycolysis an anaerobic or aerobic process? ANAEROBIC (WITHOUT OXYGEN)

19. Where do the ATP’s that start glycolysis (stage 1) come from? STORED ENERGY

20. What’s the function of the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain (stage 2)?

TO MAKE ATP (ENERGY)

21. What does fermentation mean? RESPIRATION WITHOUT OXYGEN

22. Name the 2 types of fermentation. ALCOHOLIC & LACTIC ACID

23. What organisms carry out alcohol fermentation? YEAST & BACTERIA

24. Does alcohol fermentation require oxygen? NO (ANAEROBIC)

25. Why does bread dough rise? DURING FERMENTATION, THE YEAST PRODUCES CO2

26. After we exercise strenuously our muscles are sore. Why?

WE EXERT/BURN ENERGY FASTER THAN WE ARE REPLACING IT AND IT CAUSES

LACTIC ACID TO BUILD UP WITHIN OUR MUSCLES. OUR MUSCLE CELLS ARE FORCED
TO PROVIDE ENERGY WITHOUT ENOUGH OXYGEN.

27. Does lactic acid fermentation require oxygen? NO (ANAEROBIC)

28. Does cellular respiration require oxygen? YES (AEROBIC)

29. How often does cellular respiration occur in our bodies? CONTINUOUSLY
