bio chem Flashcards
chemical energy
stored in the bonds of ATP
- breaking of these bonds releases energy
cellular respiration
mitochondria break down carbohydrates to generate ATP molecules
ATP
- adenosine triphosphate
provides energy for: - active transport
- chromosomal movement
- cell movement
- muscle movement
- synthesis fo macromolecules
- high energy molecule
- phophate groups are negatively charged
matix of mitochondria
- fluid-filled space of the inner membrane
- contains enzymes for breaking down high energy molecules
cristae of mitochondria
- folds within the inner membrane
- provide large SA for ATP production
photosynthesis equation
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ENERGY –> C6H1206 + 6 02
- anabolic
cellular respiration equation
C6H1206 + 602 –> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ENERGY
- catabolic
- glucose is oxidized
- oxygen is reduced
- 1 oxygen breakdown is 36 ATP
- takes place in the mitochondria
oxidation
when an atom or molecule loses an electron (e-)
reduction
when an atom or molecule gains an electron (e-)
reducing power
reduced molecules with large amounts of energy available
with oxygen
aerobic respiration
without oxygen
anaerobic respiration
aerobic cellular respiration
1) glycolysis
2) pyruvate oxidization
3) kreb’s cycle
4) electron transport chain
anaerobic cellular respiration
- for every oxygen 2 ATP
- glycolysis
- lactic acid fermentation
glycolysis
- in the cytoplasm (outside the mitochondria)
- splits glucose into two pyruvates
- reduction of NAD to NADH
- anaerobic
- uses 2 ATP to initiate glycolysis but 4 ATP are produced
- releases 2 NADH
- 2 CO2
