The cycle is preceded by Glycolysis‚ which also occurs in anaerobic respiration‚ and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex‚ which occur in the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial matrix respectively. In aerobic respiration‚ glycolysis breaks down one molecule of glucose and two molecules of pyruvate‚ and gives a net product

Chapter 1 Revision Questions 1) List three abiotic characteristics and briefly describe the main differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments. Abiotic characteristics are: Temperature‚ Pressure and Light Availability. The differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments are: Small temperature changes occur in aquatic environments while large temperature changes occur in terrestrial environments. As the depth of water increases‚ pressure increases in aquatic environments while

12. Briefly discuss the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. In your explanation‚ discuss and identify key molecules involved in this process and explain their relationship which each other in terms of how they contribute to the main cellular purpose of this process. Electron transport chain plays a key role of in the production of oxygen in cellular respiration. ETC uses many enzymes located on the inner mitochondrial membrane during the production of oxygen. The source

HOW MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO WORK 1) Muscle needs energy to contract and as stated previously the ‘universal energy currency’ of living systems is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is largely produced within mitochondria‚ organelles which are often referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. The ATP that results is used to provide the power for the muscle fibres to contract. Contraction itself (i.e. actual shortening movement) occurs when a bond is broken between ATP and one of its

without it‚ cells and body tissue could not get important nutrients for survival. In humans and animals‚ diffusion is needed during respiration. It is the way oxygen travels from the lungs to the red blood cells in the blood and the way carbon dioxide travels from the blood to the lungs from where it can be exhaled. In the oxidative phosphorylation stage of aerobic respiration‚ diffusion is vital in getting the protons across the potential gradient from the inter-membranal space to the inner membrane to

ENERGY TRANSFERS WHICH TAKE PLACE INSIDE LIVING ORGANISMS Living organisms including all plants and animals require energy for their cellular processes. In biological processes‚ the immediate energy source is often in the form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The nucleotide ATP maintains both catabolic and anabolic reactions. An example of a catabolic reaction is respiration where large molecules are broken down into smaller ones with energy released. An example of an anabolic reaction is photosynthesis

body. Introduction Respiration is the physical process by which living organisms take in oxygen from the surrounding medium and emit carbon dioxide. The term respiration is also used to refer to the liberation of energy‚ within the cell‚ from fuel molecules such as carbohydrates and fats. Carbon dioxide and water are the products of this process‚ which is sometimes called cellular respiration to distinguish it from the physical process of breathing. Cellular respiration is similar in most organisms

cells during respiration to produce energy. The process of respiration Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP) This type of respiration is called aerobic respiration which means respiration with oxygen. Mitochondria carry out respiration in the cells. This is why muscles have so many mitochondria as they need more energy in order to function. Respiration comes in two forms – anaerobic and aerobic. Anaerobic respiration refers to respiration without oxygen
