Document Summary

Chapter 8 harvesting energy: glycolysis and cellular respiration. Fill-in-the-blank: the complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen occurs in 2 major stages: glycolysis and cellular respiration. The first of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell, and the second stage occurs in organelles called mitochondria. Conditions in which oxygen is present are described as aerobic: conditions in which oxygen is absent are described as anaerobic. Some microorganisms break down glucose in absence of oxygen using glycolysis, which generates only 2 atp. Muscles pushed to their limit use lactic acid fermentation. Lactate fermentation is the form of fermentation used by yogurt, sour cream, and sauerkraut: during cellular respiration, the etc pumps h+ out of the mitochondrial matrix into the inner membrane space, producing a gradient of h+. The atp produced by cellular respiration is generated by a process called chemiosmosis.
