  • Distinguish between reduction and oxidation as it relates to electrons and hydrogen atoms.

    Oxidation is where atoms, ions or molecules lose electrons and reduction is where they gain electons. Hydrogen atoms often cause a reduction.

  • Where do the chemical reactions of glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain/ATP synthesis occur in the cell?

    Citric Acid Cycle is in the Mitochondria

    Glyocolysis is in the cytosol

    Electron Transport Chain (ETP) is in the inner Mitochondria.

  • Why is glycolysis considered anaerobic?

    Because it does not require you to have oxygen to function.

  • Which step in cellular respiration synthesizes the most ATP?

    It is the electron transport chain.

  • Describe chemiosmosis.

    Is the movement of ions, specifically H+ protons down their electrochemical gradient. It's mainly for the purpose of ATP production
