1. tell how much heat energy is released from one gram of glucose.

2. define the term calorie.

3. tell how the calorie differs from the kilocalorie and Calorie.

4. name the first process in the cell that produces a release of energy from glucose (WITHOUT the use of oxygen).

5. define cellular respiration.

6. give the chemical equation for cellular respiration.

7. give the equation for respiration in words.

8. name the three main stages of cellular respiration.

9. name the material formed from glucose during glycolysis.

10. name the two high-energy compounds produced during glycolysis.

After reading pages 223-225, I can:                     (terms)

1.      describe the “investment” that must be made to get glycolysis started in a cell.

2.      name the process that follows glycolysis if NO oxygen is present in the cell.

3.      contrast *aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

4.      name the two main types of fermentation.

5.      name the group of organisms that carry-on alcoholic fermentation.

6.      *write the equation for alcoholic fermentation.

7.      name the alcohol produced through alcoholic fermentation.

8.      name the acid produced through lactic acid fermentation.

9.      *write the equation for lactic acid fermentation.

10.  describe a situation where lactic acid fermentation can occur in your body.

After reading pages 226-229, I can:                     (terms)

1. name the gas required for the final stages of cellular respiration—extracting energy (almost 90% of what was originally in the glucose) from pyruvic acid after glycolysis.

2. give the term that describes the type of respiration that requires oxygen.

3. give an alternate meaning for the word respiration.

4. name the second stage of respiration that takes place (if oxygen if present); give the name of the British biochemist that proved its existence in 1937.

5. name the two products of the Krebs Cycle.

6. give an alternate name for the Krebs Cycle; tell why it is sometimes called by this name.

7. name the organelle where the Krebs Cycle takes place.

8. tell where the waste carbon dioxide from the Krebs Cycle goes (how you get rid of it).

9. name the process that uses high energy electrons formed during the Krebs Cycle to make ATP.

10. tell what ATP synthase does in the mitochondrion.

After reading pages 229-232, I can:                    (terms)

1. name the two final cellular wastes of respiration.

2. tell how many molecules of ATP can be produced from one molecule of glucose.

3. state the efficiency of cellular respiration; tell which is more efficient at burning fuel, an automobile or the cell.

4. tell what happens to MOST of the energy stored in glucose (the other 62%).

5. tell why a runner must breath heavily for a period of time after a race.

6. tell why athletes have to “pace” themselves during competition.

7. name the form of carbohydrate stored in muscles and the liver that can provide you with about 15-20 minutes of energy during exercise.

8. name the primary energy source for aerobic exercise lasting more than 15-20 minutes.

9. complete the following table….
