Cellular Respiration Worksheet

1. What are the 3 phases of the cellular respiration process?

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport

2. Where in the cell does the glycolysis part of cellular respiration occur?
in the cytoplasm

3. Where in the cell does the Krebs (Citric Acid) cycle part of cellular respiration occur?
in the mitochondria

4. Where in the cell does the electron transport part of cellular respiration occur?
in the mitochondria

5. How many ATP (net)are made in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?
2 (net)

6. How many ATP are made in the Kreb’s cycle part of cellular respiration?
2

7. How many ATP are made in the electron transport part of cellular respiration?
32 – 34

8. In which phase of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide made?


Krebs Cycle

9. In which phase of cellular respiration is water made?


Electron Transport

10. In which phase of cellular respiration is oxygen a substrate?


Electron Transport

11. In which phase of cellular respiration is glucose a substrate?


Glycolysis

12. On average, how many ATP can be made from each NADH during the electron transport process?
3

13. On average, how many ATP can be made from each FADH2 during the electron transport process?
2

14. What would happen to the cellular respiration process if the enzyme for one step of the process
were missing or defective?
The entire process beyond that point could not happen.

15. What happens to the high-energy electrons (and hydrogen) held by NADH if there is no O 2
present? If no oxygen is present, the pyruvic acid must take the electrons (and their hydrogens)
back.
16. Explain why this happens.
This happens because there are only a small number of NAD + molecules in the cell. They must be
reused to keep glycolysis going with additional glucose molecules. This means they need to
“unload” the electrons from NADH by giving them to some other molecule. Since the pyruvic acid
cannot continue on to the Krebs cycle when there is no oxygen present, it receives the electrons.
This allows the glycolysis portion of cellular respiration to continue even when O 2 is not present.
This process of making ATP in the absence of O2 is called fermentation

17. What is the overall reaction for fermentation in yeast?


Glucose  2 Ethyl alcohol + 2 CO2 + 2 ATP + Heat

18. What is the overall reaction for lactic acid fermentation?


Glucose  2 Lactic Acid + 2 ATP + Heat

19. Only a small part of the energy released from the glucose molecule during glycolysis is stored in
ATP. How is the rest of the energy released? (HINT: It is a product in the overall reaction for
cellular respiration.)
It is released as heat.

ANSWERS FOR THE BONUS WILL BE POSTED AFTER THE TEST.

BONUS – Answer the questions below on a separate sheet of paper and turn them in before the test.
They are worth a possible of 5 bonus points on the test.

20. When your cells use fat for energy, the fatty acids are broken up into molecules of acetyl CoA.
Predict how many ATP can be made from one molecule of acetyl CoA if oxygen is present. Show
your work.

21. Suppose that each fatty acid in a certain fat can make 9 molecules of acetyl CoA. Predict how
many ATP can be made from the fatty acids in this fat. (Remember there are 3 fatty acids in the fat
molecule.)

Chloroplasts
Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make
glucose. The site of photosynthesis is in the chloroplast – an organelle
found in the leaves of green plants. The main functions of chloroplasts
are to produce food (glucose)) during photosynthesis, and to store food
energy. Chloroplasts contain the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs
most of the colors in the color spectrum, and reflects only green and
yellow wavelengths of light. This is why we see leaves as green or yellow –
because these colors
olors are reflected into our eyes.

Photosynthesis
Glucose is another name for sugar. The molecular formula for glucose is C 6H12O6. Plants make
sugar by using the energy from sunlight to transform CO2 from the air with water from the
ground into glucose. This process, called photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast of the plant
cell. During this process, oxygen (O2) is created as a waste product and is released into the air
for us to breath. The formula for photosynthesis is:
(reactants) (products)
CO2 + H2O + sunlight ----> C6H12O6 + O2

This formula says that carbon dioxide + water molecules are combined with the energy from
sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen. The reactants in photosynthesis (what is used) are CO2,
water and sun. The plant gets water from the ground through its roots. The plant collects
carbon dioxide from the air. Much of the carbon dioxide comes from living organisms that
exhale (breath it out) it, but some also comes from factory smokestacks and car fumes.

The products are glucose and oxygen. The glucose produced is used by the plant for energy and
growth. We also use this glucose by eating plants. The oxygen produced is released into the air
for us to breath. Photosynthesis is essential for all life on earth, because it provides food and
oxygen. Plants are considered autotrophs because unlike us humans, they can make their own
food using this process.

Cellular Respiration: Breaking down Energy


Objective:__________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
_______________

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system
that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. The process of creating cell energy
is known as cellular respiration. Most of the chemical reactions involved in cellular respiration happen in the
mitochondria. A mitochondrion is shaped perfectly to maximize its efforts.

1. What process happens in the mitochondria?

2. What is the purpose of the process in #1 (what does it create)?

Introduction to Cellular Respiration


Organisms, such as plants and algae, can trap the energy in sunlight through photosynthesis and store
it in the chemical bonds of carbohydrate molecules. The principal carbohydrate formed through
photosynthesis is glucose. Other types of organisms, such as animals, fungi, protozoa, and a large
portion of the bacteria, are unable to perform this process. Therefore, these organisms must rely on
the carbohydrates formed in plants to obtain the energy necessary for their metabolic processes. This
means they must eat plants and other animals in order to gain energy.

4. Some organisms perform photosynthesis to produce energy. Other organisms cannot do photosynthesis.
What can they do in order to generate
energy?______________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
______

5. Animals and other organisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates through the process of cellular
respiration. What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
_________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
____________

Cells take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic
processes, they break down the carbohydrates and release the energy. The energy is generally not
needed immediately; rather it is used to combine adenosine diphosphate (ADP) with another
phosphate to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. The ATP can then be used for processes
in the cells that require energy, much as a battery powers a mechanical device. During the process of
cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off. Plant cells can use this carbon dioxide during
photosynthesis to form new carbohydrates.

6. What happens to carbohydrates during cellular respiration?

9. What is one product of cellular respiration? ________________

10. How do animals get rid of the carbon dioxide? ______________________________ What body system is

Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons. This
oxygen is identical to the oxygen gas given off during photosynthesis.

HUMANS AND PLANTS
Humans need plants. All animals do. Humanity's relationship with plants has actually made it possible
for us to have a civilization. Before we had cities, humans went around in little packs and were hunter-
gatherers. We ate rats, birds, berries, and whatever food we could find. It wasn't very
efficient. One day someone had the bright idea to plant the plants we like to eat.
When humans did that, they were able to stay in one place full time. Then came the
cities and a huge system of agriculture to support millions of people.

BIG TIME FARMING


As time has passed, we have taken farming to new levels. We have manipulated
species to create big apples and large ears of corn. The plants would never have done it in the wild. It
took man to change the plants. We are also moving toward the genetic alteration of plants. We're
trying to make plants that are resistant to disease and bugs. These stronger plants will allow our crops
to give us more food from the same amount of space.

Chloroplasts
Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make
glucose. The site of photosynthesis is in the chloroplast – an organelle
found in the leaves of green plants. The main functions of chloroplasts are
to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis, and to store food
energy. Chloroplasts contain the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs
most of the colors in the color spectrum, and reflects only green and
yellow wavelengths of light. This is why we see leaves as green or yellow –
because these colors are reflected into our eyes.
