Cellular Respiration (Grade 11 NSC Matric Life Sciences): Flashcards

Process breaking down glucose to release energy

All chemical processes in living organisms controlled by enzymes

Break down complex molecules, releasing energy

Powerhouse of the cell

Adenosine triphosphate - universal energy carrier molecule

Cellular respiration that occurs when oxygen is present

Cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Oxidative Phosphorylation

Anaerobic respiration in animals, occurs in muscle cells

Anaerobic respiration in plants, produces ethanol and CO2
