The Working Cell Part II Worksheet

  1. Study the diagram below. Label the processes using the following terms:

Oxidative Respiration, Lactic Acid Fermentation, Glycolysis, Alcoholic Fermentation, Krebs cycle and ETC

3. Write the number of ATP molecules produced by each process listed below. Then add up these numbers to get the total number of ATP molecules produced when one glucose molecule is broken down by cellular respiration.

4(2) ATP made in Glycolysis + 2ATP made in Krebs cycle + 32 ATP made in the Electron Transport Chain

= 36ATP total for the breakdown of one glucose molecule during cellular respiration.

  1. Aerobic means with the use of oxygen whereas anaerobic means without the use of oxygen.

5. Fill in the data table

Process / Where does it occur / Aerobic or Anaerobic / Reactants / Products
Step 1: Glycolysis / Cytoplasm (Cytsol) / Anaerobic / Glucose + ATP / ATP, NADH & Pyruvic Acid
Step 2 Oxidative Resp: Krebs Cycle / Mitochondria
Matirx / Aerobic / Pyruvic Acid + ATP / ATP, NADH, FADH2
and Carbon Dioxide
Step2: Oxidative
Resp: ETC / Inner membrane of the Mitochondria / Aerobic / NADH, FADH2, Oxygen / ATP & H20
Step 2: Alcoholic
Fermentation / Cytoplasm (Cytsol) / Anaerobic / C6H12O6 + 2ATP
Pyruvic Acid + ATP / Alcohol, CO2
Step 2: Lactic Acid
Fermentation / Cytoplasm / Anaerobic / C6H12O6 + 2ATP
Pyruvic Acid + ATP / Lactic Acid, CO2

6. Most eukaryotic cells produce about 36ATP molecules per glucose molecule.

7. What is the process by which glucose is converted into pyruvic acid? Glycolysis

8. At the beginning of oxidative respiration, pyruvic acid reacts with oxygen to form a molecule known as Acetyl CoA.

9. With every turn of the Krebs Cycle, how many ATP Molecules are made?2, so each glucose produces2 ATP’s in the Krebs Cycle.

10. What is the primary waste product of the Krebs Cycle? CO2. What happens to this product? _you exhale it.

11. When pyruvic acid is converted into carbon dioxide and ethanol (alcohol), the process is called Alcoholic fermentation.

12. The electron transport chain is driven by two products of the Krebs Cycle –NADH and FADH2.

13. Write the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration. Label “reactants” and “products”.

(reactants) C6H12O6 + 6O2 (products) 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (useable energy).

14. What do the molecules NADH and FADH2 transfer to the ETC? Electrons

15. What is the main purpose of the ETC? Production of ATP’s (oxidative phosporytation)

16. Why is the oxygen important to the ETC? O2 pulls in Pyruvic Acid into the mitochondria, helps the breakdown of pyruvic acid and helps produce ATP’s.

17. Write the equation for photosynthesis. Label each side of the equation as “reactants” and “products”.

(reactants) 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy (products) C6H12O6 + 6CO2

18. What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? The products of Cell resp. are the reactants of photosynthesis. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular resp.

19. What organism use alcoholic fermentation? Yeast

20. What type of fermentation do human muscle cells go through when exercising rapidly? Lactic Acid Fermentation
