1. Read Ch. 9.2 (in the textbook)

Answer the following questions:
a. Where does glycolysis occur? What are the ending molecules for glycolysis?

Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis starts with one molecule
of glucose and ends with two pyruvate molecules, a total of
four ATP molecules, and two molecules of NADH.
b. Where does the Kreb Cycle take place? What are the ending products of the
Kreb cycle?

Kreb Cycle takes place in the mitochondria. The end product of Krebs cycle
is citric acid.
c. How many ATP are produced in the electron transport chain?
34 ATP are produced in the electron transport chain
d. What are the "energy molecules" of cellular respiration?
Glucose is an energy molecule with high potential. A very stable, low potential energy
molecule, on the other hand, is carbon dioxide. As a glucose molecule is transformed
during cellular respiration to carbon dioxide and water, energy is released and retained
in ATP molecules with high potential energy.
e. What is the GOAL of cellular respiration?
Cellular Respiration 's primary target is to extract energy from glucose and other
carbon-based energy-rich molecules and use it to make ATP, the universal energy
molecule.

BUILD Vocabulary
A. The chart below shows key terms for the lesson with their definitions. Complete the chart by
writing a strategy to help you remember the meaning of each term. One has been done for
you.

Term Definition How I’m Going to Remember the Meaning

Glycolysis Part of cellular respiration in Glycolysis also means “sugar-breaking.”

which glucose is changed to
pyruvic acid

Krebs cycle Part of cellular respiration in The innermost compartment of mitochondrion, or

which pyruvic acid is used to the matrix.
make carbon dioxide, NADH,
ATP, and FADH2

Matrix The innermost space of the Mitochondrion and matrix both begin with the
mitochondrion and the site of letter M, and the matrix is the innermost part
the Krebs cycle of the mitochondrion.

NAD+ A high-energy electron carrier Its like a coenzyme

BUILD Understanding
Compare/Contrast Table Use a compare/contrast table when you want to see the
similarities and differences between two or more objects or processes. Look at the table below.
The three stages of cellular respiration are shown across the top. The topics being compared are
listed in the first column.

As you read about the process of cellular respiration, complete the table. The first one has
been done for you. Use the completed chart as a study aid.

The Krebs Cycle

For Questions 3–6, write True if the statement is true. If the statement is false,
change the underlined word or words to make the statement true.

Mitochondria 3. The pyruvic acid produced in glycolysis enters the chloroplasts if

oxygen is present in a cell.

_Acetic________ 4. In the matrix, pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid before the
Krebs cycle begins.

__True________ 5. The compound that joins with a 4-carbon molecule in the Krebs
cycle is called acetyl-CoA.

___True______ _6. Carbon dioxide is the only product of the Krebs cycle that is not
re-used or used in other stages of cellular respiration.

Electron Transport and ATP Synthesis

For Questions 8–13, complete each statement by writing the correct word or words.

8. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain is composed of a series of electron carriers

located in the ___inner membrane___ of the mitochondrion.

9. In prokaryotes, the electron transport chain is in the Cell membrane_________________

10. ____Oxygen_____serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.

11. _NADH___and ___FADH2__ pass high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain.

12. The transfer of high-energy electrons down the electron transport chain causes
__hydrogen ions________ to be transported across the mitochondrial membrane.

13. ATP synthases produce the force needed to add one ___phosphate group___ to each ADP
molecule by spinning when hydrogen ions flow through them.
