    Study Notes

    Respiratory System

    • Deals with gases or exchange of gases
    • Two main gases involved: Oxygen (O2) - needed, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - waste

    Gas Exchange Process

    • Environment (O2) → Lungs → Blood → Cells of the Body → CO2 → Collected by Blood → Lungs → Environment (CO2)

    Cellular Respiration

    • Yields energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
    • Energy production: C6H12O6 + O2 = ATP, CO2, H2O
    • Glucose comes from Carbohydrates processed by the Digestive system, specifically from Small Intestine

    Cellular Respiration Terms

    • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
    • ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)
    • NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
    • FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide)
    • DHAP (Dihydroxy Acetone Phosphate)
    • GAP (Glyceraldehyde Triphosphate)
    • Fructose 1-6 Biphosphate

    Aerobic vs Anaerobic

    • Aerobic: needs oxygen for cellular respiration
    • Anaerobic: no oxygen needed, uses fermentation

    Glycolysis

    • Step 1: 2 phosphates from 2 ATPs are removed and become ADP
    • Step 2: phosphates attach to 6 Carbon atoms of Glucose, converting it to Fructose 1-6 Biphosphate
    • Step 3: Fructose 1-6 Biphosphate divides into DHAP and GAP
