Q

Glycolysis process stage 2

A

2ATP breaks down into 2ADP + 2Pi, then the phosphates are added to the glucose, in a process called phosphorylation, this is known as the energy investment phase.

Q

Glycolysis stage 3

A

Then the dehydrogenase enzyme removes hydrogen ions and electrons from the glucose molecules.

21
Q

Glycolysis stage 4

A

Then the coenzyme NAD binds with the hydrogen ions and electrons and transports them to the electron transport chain, to forming NADH

22
Q

Glycolysis stage 5

A

Then the glucose breaks down into two pyruvate, and produces 4 ATP. this is known as the energy payoff phase. This means there is a 2ATP molecule yield.

23
Q

Aerobic respiration stage 6

A

Pyruvate then breaks down into acetyl and carbon dioxide and dehydrogenase removes hydrogen ions and electrons, and then the hydrogen binds with NAD to form NADH, and travel to the electron transport chain.

24
Q

Aerobic respiration stage 7

A

Acetyl then binds with Coenzyme A, to produce acetyl CoA

25
Q

Aerobic respiration stage 8
Citric acid cycle stage 1.

A

Acetyl binds with oxaloacetate, forming citrate in the matrix structure of the mitochondria.

26
Q

Stage 2 of citric acid cycle aerobic respiration stage 9

A

Then citrate breaks down into a 5 carbon intermediate molecule and then a 4 carbon molecule, each time releasing carbon dioxide, dehydrogenase removes the hydrogen ions and electrons again and NAD binds with the hydrogen ions and electrons producing NADH which travels to the electron transport chain. This stage produces ATP.

27
Q

Stage 3 of citric acid cycle
Stage 10

A

Then dehydrogenase removes hydrogen from the 4 carbon intermediate, to from another 4 carbon intermediate, and then dehydrogenase removes hydrogen to produce oxaloacetate, through out this process ATP is generated and NAD binds with hydrogen ions and electrons, to form NADH which travels to the electron transport chain.

28
Q

Stage 11 of aerobic respiration and stage 1 of electron transport chain

A

Then NADH releases hydrogen electrons, which travel across the membrane from the matrix to the inner membrane, releasing energy.

29
Q

Stage 12 of AR and stage 2 of electrons transport chain

A

Then Hydrogen ions are released by NADH breaking it back down into NAD, then the energy produced by the electrons is used to transport the hydrogen ions across the membrane from the matrix to the inner membrane.

30
Q

Stage 13 of AR and stage 3 of electron transport chain

A

Then the hydrogen is pumped back into the matrix by the enzyme ATP synthase, which then activates ATP synthase and allows it to turn ADP and a phosphate back into ATP.

30
Q

Stage 14 of AR and stage 4 of electron transport chain

A

Then hydrogen electrons and ions bind with oxygen to produce the bi product of water at the end of the cycle.

30
Q

Stage 2 of AEROBIC RESPIRATION name

A

Citric acid cycle

31
Q

Stage 3 of aerobic respiration name

A

Electron transport chain

32
Q

When does Aerobic respiration occur

A

When oxygen is present

33
Q

Where does stage 2 of Aerobic respiration occur

A

Matrix of mitochondria

34
Q

Where does stage 3 of aerobic respiration occur

A

Inner membrane of mitochondria

35
Q

What travels to the electron transport chain

A

NADH

36
Q

What is released at the electron transport chain

A

Hydrogen ions and electrons.

37
Q

When does fermentation occur

A

When there is no oxygen

38
Q

Aerobic respiration

A

The cellular process of releasing chemical energy from glucose, to form ATP, when oxygen in present.

39
Q

Aerobic respiration ATP yield

A

2 in stage 1
36 in stage 2 and 3
38 total

40
Q

Fermentation definition

A

The cellular process of releasing chemical energy from glucose, to form ATP, when oxygen isn’t present.

41
Q

Why isn’t aerobic respiration possible when there is no oxygen present

A

Pyruvate cannot break down into acetyl, and therefore cannot enter the mitochondria.

42
Q

Fermentation stage 1

A

Glycolysis
Glucose breaks down into pyruvate, 2ATP molecules break down into ADP and Pi, which then allows for phosphorylation, the process of adding a phosphate to a molecule (energy investment phase), then dehydrogenase removes hydrogen, and NAD binds with hydrogen ions and electrons, to be transported to other cellular processes. The the glucose breaks down into pyruvate releasing 4 ATP molecules, meaning a 2 ATP yield (energy payoff phase)

43
Q

Stage 2 in animals fermentation

A

Pyruvate <—-> lactate

44
Q

Stage 2 in plants/yeast
Fermentation

A

Pyruvate —-> ethanol and carbon dioxide

45
Q

Why isn’t fermentation in plants /yeast reversible

A

Because carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell, to be used for different cellular processes.

46
Q

Fermentation differences with aerobic respiration

A

Fermentation produces 2 ATP whereas Aerobic respiration produces 38ATP
fermentation occurs when oxygen isn’t present whereas aerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is present
Fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm whereas Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

46
Q

Fermentation location

A

Cytoplasm
