Your prompt is:
Heterotrophs take in glucose from the environment and break it
down to release usable energy. In the presence of oxygen, some heterotrophs can
break down glucose very efficiently using cellular respiration. Describe in
detail how glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen and without oxygen
(respiration and fermentation), including glycolysis, breakdown of pyruvate,
Kreb cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation.
***At least one in text citations is provided
per paragraph in APA 7 format (Author Last Name, Year) immediately after the
first reference is made.
1.
Describe the differences between the aerobic cellular
respiration and fermentation, including the waste products of fermentation.
( Provide at least one paragraph with
examples.)
2. Describe
the process of glycolysis including the amount of energy intermediaries
produced, products, and reactants.
( Provide at least one paragraph with
examples.)
3. Describe
the process of the breakdown of pyruvate including the amount of energy
intermediaries produced, products, and reactants.
( Provide at least one paragraph with
examples.)
4.
Describe the process of the Kreb Cycles (Citric Acid
Cycle) including the amount of energy intermediaries produced, products, and
reactants.
( Provide at least 1 paragraph with examples
for each topic.)
5.
Describe the process of oxidative phosphorylation
including the amount of energy intermediaries produced, products, and
reactants. Focus on the electron transport chain, ATP synthase, and
electrochemical gradients.
( Provide at least 1 paragraph with examples
for each topic.)
6.
Describe the process of anaerobic cellular
respiration in bacteria (please note that it is very different from
fermentation.)
( Provide
at least 1 paragraph with examples for each topic.)
