Click on the big picture and fill in the blanks while you watch it:

1) To fuel our physical work, our bodies break down [food molecules] and extract [their

energy].

2) In cellular respiration energy is harvested by breaking down [energy-rich molecules].

3) Cells capture and store energy in the bonds of [ATP molecules] which is the energy

currency of the cell.

4) Cellular respiration requires [oxygen] which an animal inhales and releases [carbon

dioxide] which an animal exhales.

5) Cellular respiration is the [opposite/reverse] of photosynthesis.

6) Oxygen and sugar are [products] in photosynthesis while they are [inputs] in cellular

respiration.

7) In photosynthesis the [the sun] provides the energy while in cellular respiration energy is

[released] in the bonds of [ATP].

8) Cellular respiration occurs in 3 basic steps [glycolysis], the [kreb’s cycle], and [electron

transport chain].

Click on Glycolysis and fill in the blanks as you watch. There are 3 check for understanding

checkpoints, answer those as you go through. Take screenshots of all of the questions with

the green checkmark for the correct answer and paste them here. Watch out, some of the

checkpoints have multiple questions, so you should include them all!

 9) Glycolysis takes place in the [cytoplasm] of the cell.

10) Glucose has a lot of [potential energy].

11) How many ATP are used in the preparatory phase? [2 ATP]

12) The essential difference between NAD and NADH is that that NAD carries [one less proton

and two less high-energy electrons].

13) At the end of glycolysis glucose is broken down into two molecules of [pyruvate] and

produced [4] ATP molecules. This results in a net gain of [2] ATP molecules and [2] NADH

molecules.

Click on Krebs Cycle and fill in the blanks below as you watch. There are 4 check for

understanding checkpoints, answer those as you go through. Take screenshots of all of the
questions with the green checkmark for the correct answer and paste them here. Watch out,

some of the checkpoints have multiple questions, so you should include them all!

14) Before the Krebs cycle begins, the pyruvate molecules must be moved from the

[cytoplasm] to the [mitochondria] where the Krebs cycle takes place.

15) Because 2 pyruvate molecules emerged from glycolysis there are [2] acetyl-CoA molecules

produced and 2 [NADH] are formed.

16) The molecules in the Krebs cycle are stripped of two molecules of [carbon dioxide]

which are then exhaled.

17) In total how many ATP are made from one glucose molecule? [4]

18) Although some ATP is made it is the [NADH] and [FADH2] that represent the most

energy for the cell.

19) The NADH and FADH give up their [extra electrons] to the electron transport chain.

20) The Electron transport chain will shut down if [oxygen] disappears.

21) Why is it beneficial for our muscle cells to produce more mitochondria? Answer in a

complete sentence. An increase in mitochondria means that the cell has more cellular machinery

to perform the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. It provides the cell with more energy

to sustain physical activity provided oxygen is available.

Click on Electron Transport chain. There are 5 check for understanding checkpoints, answer

those as you go through. Take screenshots of all of the questions with the green checkmark

for the correct answer and paste them here. Watch out, some of the checkpoints have

multiple questions, so you should include them all!

 22) The electron transport chain takes place in the [mitochondria].

23) The proteins of the electron transport chain reside in the [inner membrane] of the

mitochondria.

24) As [electrons] move from one complex to another they transfer some of their [energy] to

proteins that pump [protons (hydrogen ions)] across the membrane.

25) Oxygen is important because it snatches [electrons] from the end of the transport chain.

After grabbing electrons it combines with protons to form [water].

26) Given the opportunity, [protons] will tend to flow across the membrane barrier. The only

pathway for the protons to leave is through the [ATP-producing complex].

27) The NAD molecules left over are then recycled back to [glycolysis] and the [Kreb’s Cycle]

to get more electrons.

28) The ATP that is produced in the electron transport chain had is origin in [glucose]

molecules.
