Bio 141 Notes (3/06/14) Flashcards
ATP Synthesis
Proton gradient fuels ATP production
gradient pushes protons across membrane
must cut through ATP synthase ‘turbine’
NADH and FADH2 differ as to how many ______ they fuel
proton pumps
Each NADH yields…
3 ATP
Each FADH2 yields…
2 ATP
Fermentation
breaking down of glucose without using oxygen (anaerobic)
happens after glycolysis using pyruvate
restores electron carrier
Lactic Acid Fermentation
animal muscles, bacteria
energy for muscles in low oxygen conditions
leads to burning sensation during strenuous exercise
sauerkraut, yogurt, kimchi
Ethonol Fermentation
yeast, bacteria
yields CO2 byproduct
creates hostile environment for competitors
bread, alcohol
Photosynthesis
takes place in chloroplast
capturing light
- leaves are adapted to maximize light take in
- facilitate gas exchange via stomata
Stomata
mouths
gas exchange
