cellular respiration

ATP reacts with a molecule called luciferin and oxygen to produce light in light generating species.

Allows for motion (beating of cilia or flagella such as in S cells or in unicellular organisms) , transport of ions and molecules(the different carrier protein pumps) , building of molecules(joining of amino acids in protein synthesis), switching reactions on or off,(switches certain enzymes on or off)  and bioluminescence in things like glow worms and fireflies.

A sodium-potassium pump.

Sodium-potassium pumps (allows nerve and muscle cells to function), vitamin pumps, amino acid pumps, and H+ pumps.

Active transport is the movement of substances through a membrane against a concentration gradient (high to low). This process requires a membrane-bound carrier protein and ATP.

about a billion.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 36ADP + 36Pi -------> 6CO2 + 6H20 + 36ATP

Aerobic cellular respiration occurs in the presence of O2 and involves complete oxidation of glucose (all e- is harvested).

aerobic cellular respiration involves 4 stages. These are:

• 1. glycolysis
• 2.pyruvate oxidation
• 3.Krebs cycle
• 4.Electron transport chain and chemiosmosis

False.

36% of the energy content from 1 glucose molecule is converted into ATP and 64% is released as heat to maintain the body temperature in birds and mammals.

because more energy is released during the formation of product molecules than is consumed to break apart reactant molecules.

Because it is highly soluble.

Glucose can be used immediately, stored for medium-term energy, or used to synthesize molecules that can store E for long term. In plants, this molecule would be starch and in animals it would be glycogen.
