ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION Flashcards
When and where did photoautotrophs evolve
3.2 million years ago in shallow water
What offered photoautotrophs an unlimited supply of energy
sunlight
what is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain of aerobic respiration
oxygen
This is an example of a catabolic pathway because it releases stored energy by breaking down complex molecules (ex: Glucose is broken down to help produce ATP)
Cellular respiration
This takes place in the presence of oxygen, evolved after oxygen was added to Earth’s atmosphere
Aerobic respiration
Where does aerobic respiration take place
mitochondria
This takes place without oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
where does anaerobic respiration take place
cytoplasm
In Aerobic respiration, ___ is consumed as a reactant
oxygen
this is the most efficient because it can provide a high amount of adenosine triphosphate or ATP
aerobic respiration
what provides the fuels for respiration
the food we eat
→Partial degradation of sugars and
other organic fuel
→ No oxygen
→ It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell
→ It also produce various products depending on the microbes
★ AppleCidervinegar
★ Cheese
★ Yogurt
→ Are also present in different places
such as inside the volcano, beneath the soil, deepest part of the ocean, and in our digestive tract.
fermentation
by doing this, you can deliver all the oxygen to your muscles
sleeping
this uses substances other than oxygen
anaerobic respiration
in fermentation, pyruvate can produce these three fungi/bacteria
Aspergillus, Lactobacillus, saccharomyces
what is an example product of aspergillus
soy sauce
what is an example product of lactobacillus
cheese, yogurt
saccharomyces can produce these 3 compounds
ethanol + CO2, ethanol, carbon dioxide
what is an example product of ethanol + co2
beer
what is an example product of carbon dioxide
bread
what is an example product of ethanol
wine
- Doesn’t use oxygen
- Inorganic or organic molecules are
used as final electron acceptors such hydrogen sulfide, sulfate ions, and others.
anaerobic respiration
what are the final acceptors in anaerobic respiration
inorganic or organic molecules
Transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another
Relocation of electrons releases energy stored in organic molecules
This energy is used to synthesize ATP because an electron transfer requires both a donor and an acceptor - Oxidation and reduction always go hand in hand
RedOX reactions
Requires both a donor and acceptor
Electron transfer
addition of electrons
reduction
removal of electrons
oxidation
- is a molecule that carries energy with its cells
- it is the main currency of the cell
- it is an end product of the process of phosphorylation, cellular respiration, and fermentation
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
what is ATP comprised of
comprise of 3 phosphate groups, 1 sugar (ribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine)
the removal or elimination of carboxyl from a molecule and releases carbon dioxide
decarboxylation
A phosphate group is transferred from an organic molecule to ADP to form ATP
substrate-level phosphorylation
