|
What happens in alcoholic fermentation (yeast) |
Glucose (6c), into 2 pyruvic acid (3c), into CO2/2ATP/ethyl alcohol |
|

Glucose (6c), into 2 pyruvic acid (6c), into CO2/2ATP/lactic acid |
|
What is required to completly break down glucose in aerobic resp. |
O2 |
|
What is produced by aerobic resp. |
CO2 (waste) H2O (products) and 36 ATP/glucose (18 times more efficient) |
|
What is the pathway of aerobic resp. |
Glucose (6c) into 2 ATP and 2pyruvic acid (3c) [<------ all happens in cytoplasm] [ All happens in mitochondria ------------>] Into CO2/H2O/34 ATP |

|
What type of reproduction involves mitosis |
Asexual |
|
What happens during interphase |
Cells grow, mature and the chromosomes replicate |
|
What happens during prophase I |
Nucleus and nucleolus disapear, the spindle fibors form and the homologous chromosomes join together to form a tetrad |
|
What happens during metaphase I |
Tetrads line up in the middle of the cell |
|
What happens during Anaphase I |
Tetrads are pulled apart |
|
What happens during Telophase I |
2 new cells appear, chromosomes are doubled stranded and the nucleus can reapear |
|
What are the steps of Meiosis I |
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase |
|

look alike |
|
tetrads are... |
2 pairs of homologous chromosomes |
|
What is crossing over |
Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes |
|
WHat happens in Prophase II |
Nucleus disapears and tetrads form |
|
What happens in Metaphase II |
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell |
|
What happens in Anaphase II |
Chromosomes are pulled apart |
|
What happens in Telophase II |

|
What are the differences in Meiosis I and Meiosis II |
MEIOSIS I: telophase double stranded chromosomes, two cells, tetrads, interphase, and crossing over. MEIOSIS II: Telophase single stranded chromosomes, four cells, no tetrads, no interphase, and no crossing over. |
