BIOLOGY SEMESTER ONE UNIT 9 CHECKLIST UNIT 9: CELLULAR RESPIRATION In this module you will investigate cellular respiration, which is process in which the cell breaks down glucose and other organic fuels to store their energy in the form of ATP. This oxygenrequiring process occurs through a number of steps: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. Alternatively, cells can produce ATP in the absence of oxygen through fermentation and anaerobic respiration. You will study the chemical reactions involved in each of these pathways in more detail. LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of this module you should be able to: 1. Understand and distinguish between fermentation and cellular respiration. 2. Define oxidation and reduction, and explain how redox reactions are involved in energy exchanges. 3. In general terms, explain the role of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. 4. Identify the three stages of cellular respiration and state the region of the eukaryotic cell where each stage occurs. 5. Understand the process of glycolysis, and explain why ATP is required for the preparatory steps of glycolysis. 6. Identify where substrate-level phosphorylation and the reduction of NAD+ occur in glycolysis. 7. Describe where pyruvate is oxidized to acetyl CoA, what molecules are produced, and how this process links glycolysis to the citric acid cycle. 8. List the products of the citric acid cycle. Explain why it is called a cycle. 9. In general terms, explain how the exergonic “slide” of electrons down the electron transport chain is coupled to the endergonic production of ATP by chemiosmosis. 10. Explain where and how the respiratory electron transport chain creates a proton gradient. Explain why this gradient is described as a proton motive force. 11. Distinguish between fermentation and anaerobic respiration, and understand their functions. 12. Compare the processes of fermentation and cellular respiration. 13. Describe the evidence that suggests that glycolysis is an ancient metabolic pathway. 14. Explain how glycolysis and the citric acid cycle can contribute to anabolic pathways. 15. Explain how ATP production is controlled by the cell.
