Document Summary

Fermentation- catabolic process; partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel that occurs without the use of oxygen. Aerobic respiration- most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway; oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel. Organic compounds + oxygen > carbon dioxide + water + energy or. C6h12o6 + 6o2 > 6co2 + 6h2o + energy (atp + heat) Redox reactions- chemical reactions where there is transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another. An electron transport chain consists of a number of molecules; electrons removed from glucose are shuttled by nadh to the top , higher-energy end of the chain. Bottom , lower-energy end, o2 captures these electrons along with hydrogen nuclei (h+), forming water. Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate. Glucose (a six-carbon sugar) is split into two three carbon sugars. Sugars are oxidized and remaining atoms rearranged to form two molecules of pyruvate.

Question 6

Select one answer.

10 points

One way to explain how cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate to each other is to say that:

Plant cells use the oxygen produced by respiration for photosynthesis.

The oxygen produced by photosynthesis, once released to the environment, is the oxygen able to be used as the electron acceptors for cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a series of reduction reactions while photosynthesis is a series of oxidation reactions.

The two processes are not related.

The use of oxygen by plants contributes to the greenhouse effect.
