Q

Why is ATP perfect

A

Small so easily moves around and can’t leave cell
Energy is released in quick single hydrolysis step
Small amount of energy released so not wasteful
Unstable (readily gives up phosphate) so immediate energy source

Q

What happens during the link stage

A 
Pyruvate active transported into matrix
Pyruvate oxidised (hydrogen removed)
Hydrogen accepted by NAD to form NADH
2 carbon molecule combines with coenzyme A = 2C Acetyl coenzyme A
2 CO2 formed from the 2 pyruvate

16
Q

How many NADH is involved in gycolysis and what happens with them

A

2 NADH

NAD is oxidised state collects hydrogen from glucose and becomes reduced to NADH

17
Q

How many ATP is made in the glycolysis stage

A

4
But used 2
So net production of 2

18
Q

How many ATP are made in link stage

A

0

19
Q

How many NADH are made in link stage

A

2

NAD collects hydrogen from pyruvate

20
Q

Where does the Krebs cycle take place

A

In the matrix

21
Q

Where does substrate level phosphorylation occur

A

In glycolysis and the Krebs cycle

22
Q

What is made and lost by the end of the Krebs cycle

A

2 ATP made
4 CO2 lost
6 NADH made
2 FADH2 made

23
Q

Explain how the amount of ATP is increased by reactions occurring inside the mitochondria

A 
Oxidation of pyruvate
Substrate level production of ATP
NAD reduced to NADH
Electrons fed into ETC
inner membrane
Linked to ATP production
ATP synthase enzyme
Electrons lose energy as they're passed along the chain
24
Q

At the end of ETC how many ATP is made and where does the extra come from

A

34

Extra 4 when 2xs FADH makes 4 ATP

25
Q

How many ATPs can every molecule of NADH make

A

3

26
Q

How many NADH are produced in ETC

A

10

So able to produce 30 ATP

27
Q

What is the name of the enzyme at the end of ETC

A

ATP synthase

28
Q

What is the role of NADH dehydrogenase comple in ETC

A

Takes away hydrogen from NADH

This then releases protons from the hydrogen atoms

29
Q

Why is energy lost from the electrons as they pass along the ETC

A

Energy is used to combine ADP + phosphate to make ATP

Some energy also released as heat

30
Q

Where do protons go

A

They’re actively transported across the inner membrane space

31
Q

How is a gradient created

A

The active transport of protons across the inner membrane space

32
Q

How are electrons transported across ETC

A

Transported by carrier molecules in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions

33
Q

what happens at the end of the chain

A

Electrons combine with protons and oxygen to form water

34
Q

What is involved in the Krebs cycle

A

A series of oxidation-reduction reactions
