Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Unit 3: Cellular Respiration Unknown Info (AP Biology 2026)

front 1

respiration

back 1

the receiving of oxygen from the environment and the releasing of carbon dioxide as a waste product in organisms

front 2

cellular respiration

back 2

the aerobic harvesting of energy from food molecules by cells

front 3

reactants of cellular respiration

back 3

oxygen and glucose

front 4

products of cellular respiration

back 4

water, carbon, dioxide, ATP

front 5

equation for cellular respiration

back 5

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> ATP + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

front 6

aerobic

back 6

ATP madewith oxygen, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain

front 7

anaerobic

back 7

ATP made without oxygen, glycolysis

front 8

Is all of glucoses energy able to be harvested in cellular respiration?

back 8

No. In anaerobic, only 2% is released, while it is 40% in aerobic.

front 9

aerobic respiration has 4 stages

back 9

glycolysis, formation of acetyl-CoA, Krebs (citric acid) cycle, oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain and chemiosmosis)

front 10

glycolysis

back 10

the exergonic redox breaking of sugar in half into 2 3-carbon pyruvic acid molecules in the cytoplasm, anaerobic

front 11

glycolysis equation

back 11

1 glucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+ --> 2 pyruvic acid + 4 ATP + 2 NADH

front 12

What happens to the electrons and protons in NADH?

back 12

2 electrons and one proton go into NADH, while the other proton goes into the intermembrane space

front 13

How is glycolysis a source of ATP?

back 13

very minor, with 2 net, 4 produced, 2 needed to start

front 14

formation of acetyl-CoA

back 14

each pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl coenzyme A after being transported to the mitochondrion

front 15

acetyl-CoA equation

back 15

2 pyruvic acid + 2 coenzyme A + 2 NAD+ --> 2 Acetyl-CoA + 2 CO2 + 2 NADH

front 16

pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC)

back 16

the enzyme complex where the process of turning pyruvic acid into acetyl-CoA occurs

front 17

Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)

back 17

each of the two acetyl-CoA's enters one at a time, where all their carbons are converted to CO2 byproduct in the mitochondrial matrix across the inner membrane

front 18

products of Krebs Cycle

back 18

6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, oxaloacetate, CO2 for both acetyls

front 19

reactants of Krebs Cycle

back 19

2 acetyl-CoA, oxaloacetate

front 20

How is the Krebs Cycle a source of ATP?

back 20

2 net via substrate-level phosphorylation, 4 produced, 2 needed to start, mainly just supplies electron transport chain with electrons

front 21

What is the process of conversion for Krebs?

back 21

6-carbon citric acid is formed, eventually turned back into oxaloacetate

front 22

electron transport chain

back 22

electrons ( and their hydrogen atoms) are removed from a molecule of glucose, carrying the energy previously stored in the glucose's chem bonds, and passed down a series of protein carrier molecules embedded in the cristae in the inner mitochondrial membrane

front 23

electron carriers

back 23

shuttle electrons to the electron transport chain (e.g. NADH and FADH2)

front 24

What happens to the electrons in electron carriers?

back 24

hydrogen atoms are split into hydrogen ions and electrons, with H2 forming 2H+ and 2e-

front 25

What happens to electrons in the electron transport chain?

back 25

each hands down electrons to the next molecule, releasing energy little by little until reaching the final electron acceptor

front 26

final electron acceptor

back 26

MUST be oxygen, combines with electrons and hydrogens to form water, pulls down electrons with its electronegativity

front 27

Where do the electron transport chains occur?

back 27

chloroplasts, mitochondria, prokaryotic plasma membranes

front 28

What is the terminal electron acceptor in photosynthesis?

back 28

NADP+

front 29

How much ATP is gained from the electron transport chain?

back 29

net of 34

front 30

products of the electron transport chain

back 30

water, 1.5x2NAD+. 2.5x8NAD+, 1.5x2FAD+. ATP most

front 31

reactants of electron transport chain

back 31

10 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 O2

front 32

chemiosmosis

back 32

the pumping of ions and diffusion of ions to create ATP, as electrons passed down chain hydrogen ions (protons) that split off from hydrogen atom are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane from the matrix into the intermembrane space

front 33

pH gradient (proton gradient)

back 33

formed when hydrogen ions pumped, want to diffuse

front 34

oxidative phosphorylation

back 34

when electrons are given up (oxidized) and ADP is (phosphorylated) made into ATP, as hydrogen ions can only diffuse through ATP synthase channels

front 35

ATP synthase channels

back 35

contain ADP and Pi which connect when protons flow through the channels

front 36

substrate-level phosphorylation

back 36

an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from an organic substrate molecule to ADP, turning it into ATP and a new organic molecule, does not need a membrane unlike electron transport chain

front 37

reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction

back 37

the movement of electrons from one molecules to another, requires a donor and receiver (always paired / coupled)

front 38

in cellular respiration, BLANK is reduced and BLANK is oxidized

back 38

oxygen, glucose

front 39

in photosynthesis, BLANK is reduced and BLANK is oxidized

back 39

CO2, water
