Chapter 8: Cellular Respiration

Learning Outcomes

After studying this chapter, you should be able to accomplish the following outcomes.

Cellular Respiration

1. Write the overall reaction for glucose breakdown and show that it is a redox reaction.
2. Discuss the role of oxidation-reduction enzymes.
3. State the four phases of cellular respiration and tell where each occurs in the cell.

4. Contrast the energy-investment step of glycolysis with the energy-harvesting steps.
5. Summarize glycolysis by stating the inputs and outputs of the pathway.

6. Explain the benefits and drawbacks of fermentation.

7. Show that glucose products are broken down completely during the preparatory reaction and the citric acid cycle.
8. Give the net gain of substrate level ATP synthesis and NADH as a result of these pathways.
9. Describe how the cristae are organized to produce ATP.

10. Show how catabolism of protein and fat utilizes the same pathways as glucose breakdown.
11. Compare and contrast the organization and structure of mitochondria and chloroplasts and how they permit a flow of energy through living things.
