Q

outline phosphorylation in glycolysis

A

glucose is phosphorylated by adding 2 phosphates from 2 molecules of ATP this produces 2 molecules of TP and 2 ADP

Q

why must glycolysis take place in the cytoplasm?

A

because glucose cannot cross the outer mitochondrial membrane
it breaks down into pyruvate because this can cross the membrane

Q

outline what happens during the link reaction

A

pyruvate is decarboxylated ( carbon dioxide is removed)
NAD is reduced it collects hydrogen from pyruvate
pyruvate is converted into acetate
no ATP is produced
acetate combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl coenzyme A

17
Q

where does the link reaction take place?

A

mitochondrial matrix

18
Q

in an anaerobic respiration what is the only stage that happens?

A

glycolysis

19
Q

what are the products of anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast?

A

carbon dioxide and ethanol

20
Q

what are the products of anaerobic respiration in animals and bacteria?

A

lactic acid

21
Q

how is anaerobic respiration able to continue?

A

production of lactic acid, CO2 and ethanol regenerate NAD
this means glycolysis can continue even when oxygen is in short supply

22
Q

how many carbon atoms are in acetyl coenzyme A?

A

2 carbon atoms

23
Q

what are the 2 types of reaction that occur in the link reaction?

A

oxidation
decarboxylation

24
Q

what are the products of the link reaction?

A

2 acetyl coenzyme A
2 carbon dioxide
2 reduced NAD

25
where does the acetyl coenzyme A produced in the link reaction go?
to the krebs cycle
26
where does the carbon dioxide produced in the link reaction go?
released as a waste product
27
where does the reduced NAD produced in the link reaction go?
to oxidative phosphorylation
28
outline the Krebs cycle
- acetyle coenzyme A (from the link reaction) joins with a 4C compound to form a 6C compound. Coenzyme A goes back to the link reaction - decarboxylation occurs forming a 5C compound dehydrogenation also occurs, the hydrogen is used to form reduced NAD from NAD - decarboxylation and dehydrogenation of the 5C compound occur to form a 4C compound - ATP is made by the removal of a phosphate group, as the phosphate group is directly transferred from 1 molecule to another we say the ATP has been formed by substrate level phosphorylation
29
what are the products from ONE Krebs cycle?
1 coenzyme A oxaloacetate (4C) 2 carbon dioxide 1 ATP 3 reduced NAD 1 reduced FAD
30
where does the coenzyme A produced in the Krebs cycle go?
reused in the next link reaction
31
where does the oxaloacetate produced in the Krebs cycle go ?
regenerated for use in next Krebs cycle
32
where does the carbon dioxide produced in the Krebs cycle go?
released as a waste product
33
where does the ATP produced in the Krebs cycle go?
used for energy
34
where does the reduced NAD produced in the Krebs cycle go ?
to oxidative phosphorylation
35
where does the reduced FAD produced in the Krebs cycle go?
to oxidative phosphorylation
36
where does the Krebs cycle take place?
mitochondrial matrix
37
where does oxidative phosphorylation take place?
mitochondrial cristae
38
what happens in oxidative phosphorylation?
the process wheee the energy carried by electrons, from reduced coenzymes is used to make ATP
39
outline what happens in oxidative phosphorylation
- hydrogen atoms are released from reduced NAD and reduced FAD which are oxidised to NAD and FAD, hydrogen atoms split into protons and electrons - electrons move down electron transport chain losing energy at each carrier - energy used by the electron carriers to pump protons from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space - conc. of protons is higher in the intermembrane space than in mitochondrial matrix forms an electrochemical gradient - protons move down electrochemical gradient back across inner mitochondrial membrane and into mitochondrial matrix via ATP synthase - process of ATP production driven by movement of H+ ions across the membrane - in mitochondrial matrix the protons, electrons and oxygen combine to form water
