Today we reviewed chapter 9, which was on cellular respiration.
So here are some quick notes for review.
Oxidation: lose electrons, release energy, exergonic.
Reduction: gain electrons, stores energy, endergonic.
The three stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation.
~38 ATPs / 1 glucose
Two types of fermentation: alcohol and lactic acid.
To remember, just remind yourself that lactic acid fermentation is what we experienced when we did that painful bending exercise and alcohol fermentation is what we’ll be doing with the root beer experiment.
“I really don’t like your boyfriend, Glycolysis. He’s not producing enough ATP.”
