7.1 Cellular respiration

A. Introducing cellular respiration
1. Explain why cellular respiration is such an important reaction. .

2. Outline the strengths and limitations of this equation:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2+ 6H2O+ ATP

(a) The biochemistry of respiration

3. Explain why the breathing rate and heart rate continue to be raised after exercise.

4. Produce and annotated diagram of Glycolysis in which the important biochemistry of each
step is labeled.

5. Summarized how the anaerobic oxidation of glucose releases useful energy for cell
metabolism.

(a) The Krebs cycle

6. Describe the series of metabolic events occurred in link reaction and Krebs cycle in
animals.

7. The Krebs cycle makes energy for the cell. Explain how this statement is incorrect.
