Q

What is the difference and similarity between aerobic and anaerobic respiration

A

Aerobically with oxygen and anaerobically without
Both produce ATP and start with glycolysis

Q

What do NAD and FAD do?

A

They transfer hydrogen from one molecule to another so they can reduce and oxidise a molecule

Q

What happens in the first stage of aerobic respiration

A
  1. PHOSPHORYLATION
    - glucose phosphorylated using a phosphate from ATP
    - creates 1 molecule of glucose phosphate and 1 ADP
    - ATP forms another phosphate –> hexose bisphosphate
    - hexose bisphosphate split into 2molecules of Triose phosphate
  2. OXIDATION
    - TP oxidised forming pyruvate
    - NAD collects hydrogen forming 2 red nad

Q

What are the products of glycolysis and where does it go

A

Q

What are the products of glycolysis - ANAEROBIC

A

Using red nad

  • ethanol via alcohol fermentation (pyruvate > ethanal > ethanol) —- PLANTS AND YEAST
  • lactate via lactate fermentation —- ANIMAL CELLS AND BACTERIA

Q

How can glycolysis still continue in anaerobic resp

A

The production of lactate or ethanol regenerates oxidised NAD so small amount of ATP can be still be produced

Q

What happens in the second stage of aerobic respiration?

A
  1. Pyruvate is decarboxylated so one carbon atom removed in the form of CO2
  2. Simultaneously pyruvate is oxidised to form acetate
  3. NAD reduced to RED NAD
  4. Acetate combines with coenzyme A to form ACETYLECOA
16
Q

How many times does the link reaction occur per glucose molecule

A

2 pyruvate molecules are made for every glucose molecule that enters glycolysis so the link and krebs occur twice for every glucose molecule

17
Q

What are the products of the link reaction and where do they go

A

2 Acetyl coenzyme A - krebs cycle
2 Carbon dioxide - released as waste
2 Reduced NAD - to oxidative phosphorylation

18
Q

What are the stages of the 3rd step in aerobic respiration

A
  1. Formation of 6c compound
    - Acetyl CoA combines with a 4C Oxaloacetate to form a 6C Citrate
    - coenzyme A returns to link reaction
  2. Formation of a 5c combound
    - Citrate is converted to a 5C molecule through decarboxylation
    - Dehydrogenation also occurs
    - reduced nad produced
  3. Regeneration of oxaloacetate
    - 5c converted to 4c
    - decarboxylation and dehydrogenation occur producing one molecule of reduced FAD and 2 of reduced NAD
    - atp produced by transferring a phosphate to adp ( substrate level phosphorylation)
19
Q

What are the products of krebs and where does it go

A
  • 1 COA - reused
  • Oxaloacetate - regenerated for next krebs
  • 2 Carbon dioxide - released as waste
  • 1ATP - energy
  • 3 RED NAD - oxidative phosphorylation
  • 1 RED FAD - oxidative phosphorylation
20
Q

What is the steps to the last stage of aerobic resp

A
  1. Hydrogen atoms are released from red NAD and FAD splitting into protons and electrons
  2. Electrons move down ETC losing energy
  3. Energy used by electron carriers to pump protons from mitochondrial matrix into inter membrane space
  4. Concentration of protons higher in inter membrane forming electrochemical gradient
  5. Protons move down back into matrix via ATP synthase driving formation of ATP - CHEMIOSMOSIS
  6. At the end the protons, electrons and oxygen combine to form water as oxygen is the final electron acceptor
21
Q

What is the impact of mitochondria diseases

A
  • ATP production
  • Functioning of proteins in o.p or krebs reducing ATP
  • Anaerobic increases to make up for ATP shortage so lactate produced
  • Muscle weakness and fatigue
  • Lactate diffuses into blood
