6 Energy in Cells: Respiration and Oxidative Phosphorylation Flashcards
systematic structure of glucose metabolism
glycolysis –> pyruvate oxidation –> citric acid cycle –> oxidative phosphorylation
glucose metabolism formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
oxidation is
loss of e-
reduction is
gain of e-
glycolysis is breaking glucose into
pyruvate and water
net products of glycolysis
glucose –> 2 pyruvate and 2 H2O
4 ATP formed - 2 ATP used –> 2 ATP
NAD+ –> 2 NADH and 2 H+
what r the problems w products of glycolysis
- what to do with pyruvate
- how to regenerate NAD+ to run glycolysis on more glucose
ways to deal with problems of products of glycolysis
- fermentation
- respiration
fermentation
reduce pyruvate and regenerate NAD+
is anaerobic: does not require Oxygen
two types of fermentation
alcohol and lactate fermentation
after pyruvate oxidation
transport pyruvate to the mitochondrion and generate Acetyl CoA
citric acid cycle/ Krebs Cycle
transport pyruvate to the mitochondrion –> completes the break down of pyruvate to CO2
net products of citric acid cycle
1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2 per turn
net yield from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
4 ATP, 10NADH, 2FADH2
oxidative phosphorylation
reduction of oxygen/ electron transport chain+chemiosmosis
