| Question | Answer |
| Define Respiration | It is a series of enzyme catalysed reactions which release energy in the form of ATP from the oxidation of organic molecules e.g glucose |
| Uses of ATP | -Protein Synthesis -Active Transport -Nerve Transmittion -Contraction of muscles |
| Advantages of ATP as a source energy | -Small amount of energy is released, doesn't damage cell -Only requires one enzyme to release energy from ATP. ATPase -ATP is a universal energy currency. Used in all energy requirements in all cells |
| Why isn't glucose used as an energy source? | -A lot of energy is released, damages cell. -Requires several enzymes to release the energy -Glucose isn't universal |
| Where does GLYCOLYSIS take place? | Cytoplasm |
| Where does the LINK REACTION take place? | Matrix of the mitochondria |
| Where does the KREBS CYCLE take place? | Matrix of the mitochondria |
| Where does the ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN take place? | Inner membrane of mitochondria/ Cristae |
