oxidative decarboxylation
26
what happens to the acetyl group?

28
what are the products of the link reaction for one molecule of glucose?
2 x acetyl coA 2 x CO2 2 x reduced NAD
29
where does the CO2 produced by the link reaction go?
released as a waste product
30
where does the reduced NAD produced by the link reaction go?
to the ETC for oxidative phosphorylation
31
where does the acetyl coA go after links?
krebs cycle
32
what is the role of the coA?
it is a coenzyme which carries acetyl to krebs cycle
33
what are the 3 coenzymes in respiration?
NAD FAD coA
34
what happens to acetyl coA at the beginning of krebs?
loses it's coA group and reacts with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid
35
where does the coA go to?
back to the link reaction
36
how many carbons in citric acid?
6
37
what happens to citric acid?
undergoes decarboxylation to form a 5 carbon compound
38
what is produced when each citric acid undergoes decarboxylation?
1 x CO2 1 x reduced NAD
39
what happens to the 5 carbon compound?
converted to oxaloacetic acid
40
how many carbons in oxaloacetic acid?
4
41
what is produced when each 5 carbon molecule is converted to oxaloacetic acid?
2 x reduced NAD 1 x reduced FAD 1 x ATP 1 x CO2
42
how many hydrogens does FAD carry?
2
43
how many hydrogens does NAD carry?
1
44
how many times does Krebs occur for one glucose molecule?
twice as there are two acetyl coA groups brought in
45
what are the products of Krebs for one glucose?
4 x CO2 2 x coA 2 x ATP 6 x reduced NAD 2 x reduced FAD 2 x oxaloacetate
46
what happens to the reduced NAD and reduced FAD produced in Krebs?
goes to the ETC for oxidative phosphorylation
47
what happens to the oxaloacetate produced in Krebs?
reused in the next Krebs cycle
48
what happens at the electron transport chain?
reduced NAD and reduced FAD give up their hydrogen atoms to the chain
49
what do hydrogen atoms dissociate into?
hydrogen ions and electrons
50
how many ATP molecules does reduced NAD lead to the production of?
3
51
how many ATP molecules does reduced FAD lead to the production of?
2
52
how do the electrons transported in the ETC generate energy?
by undergoing redox reactions with the electron carriers
53
what is the energy generated by the electrons used for?
to pump H+ ions into the inter-membrane space to create an electrochemical gradient (chemiosmosis)
54
what is the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation?
oxygen to form water
55
what happens to H+ ions in oxidative phosphorylation?
they return to the matrix through ATP synthase
56
what happens when H+ ions diffuse through ATP synthase?
ADP + P to form ATP
57
why is oxidative phosphorylation called this?
because it is dependant on oxygen to be the final electron acceptor
58
what is substrate level phosphorylation?
the transfer of a phosphate group from an intermediate in order to produce ATP
59
when does substrate level phosphorylation occur in respiration?
in glycolysis krebs
60
what are the differences between NAD and FAD?
NAD in all of aerobic respiration FAD only in krebs NAD accepts one hydrogen FAD accepts two reduced NAD leads to 3 ATP molecules reduced FAD leads to 2 ATP molecules
61
how many ATP produced in glycolysis?
8 from 2 x reduced NAD and 2 x ATP
62
how many ATP produced in link?
6 from 2 x reduced NAD
63
how many ATP produced in krebs?
24 from 6 x reduced NAD 2 x reduced FAD 2 x ATP
64
how many ATP produced in aerobic respiration?
38
65
how many times does krebs and link occur?
twice
66
why do krebs and link occur twice?
two pyruvates are formed from glycolysis
67
why does aerobic respiration need oxygen?
without oxygen, the final electron in the ETC cannot be accepted which stops the flow of electrons this means that H+ ions cannot be pumped into the inter membrane space this prevents chemiosmosis so ATP production stops with the flow of electrons held up, reduced NAD and reduced FAD cannot be oxidised so cannot be regenerated this prevents Krebs and Link from occuring
68
what are the 3 types of respiring organisms?
obligate anaerobes facultative anaerobes obligate aerobes
69
what is an obligate anaerobe?
can only do anaerobic respiration
70
what is a faculatative anaerobe?
can do both anaerobic and aerobic respiration
71
what is an obligate aerobe?
can only do aerobic respiration
72
what is anaerobic respiration?
respiration without oxygen
73
what still occurs in anaerobic respiration?
glycolysis so it occurs in the cytoplasm
74
what is fermentation?
when complex organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules without oxygen
75
what fermentation occurs in plant and yeast?
alcohol fermentation
76
what fermentation occurs in animals?
lactate fermentation
77
what happens in lactate fermentation?
pyruvate acts as a hydrogen acceptor and oxidises reduced NAD to form lactate
78
what are the products of lactate fermentation?
NAD lactate
79
what enzyme catalyses lactate fermentation?
lactate dehydrogenase
80
why can glycolysis occur under anaerobic conditions?
because the pyruvate has oxidised the reduced NAD to NAD which can then be reused to reduce the triose-phosphate into pyruvate
81
how is lactate returned to glucose?
oxygen is needed to break lactate down
82
what does lactic acid do?
reduces the pH in the body which means that many proteins will denature
83
how many ATP produced in anaerobic?
2
84
is alcohol fermentation reversible?
no
85
what happens in alcohol fermentation?
pyruvate is converted to ethanal ethanal accepts a hydrogen from reduced NAD and forms ethanol
86
what is the RQ?
CO2 produced / O2 used
87
RQ for carbs?
1.0
88
RQ for proteins?
0.9
89
RQ for lipids?
0.7
90
why may mitochondria have evolved from bacteria?
both have a double membrane both have DNA both have ribosomes
