Biology Unit 2- Chapter 9 Flashcards
what is the purpose of cellular respiration?
oxidize glucose to release ATP for the cell to use
is the oxidation of glucose exergonic or endergonic?
exergonic
what can the cell not do with the energy that is made through the process of cellular respiration?
the energy can not all be released at once
what holds the high energy electrons?
NAD+ into NADH
what are the five steps of cellular respiration?
- glycolysis
- pyruvate processing
- citric acid cycle
- electron transport
- ATP synthase
How many reactions occur in glycolysis?
10
what are the first 5 steps of glycolysis?
energy investment (using ATP)
what are the last 5 steps of glycolysis?
energy recovery phase (releasing ATP )
how many ATP are invested into glycolysis and how many are released? What is the net gain?
2 used in the beginning
4 produced at the end
2 is the net gain of ATP
what is substrate level phosphorylation?
in the active site of an enzyme, ADP binds to a substrate, this produces ATP
how does the feedback inhibition work in glycolysis?
there are two binding sites for the ATP- one is a catalyst and the other is an allosteric inhibitor
what is everything produced in glycolysis?
2 pyruvates, 2 ATP, and 2NADH
where does glycolysis occur?
cytosol
what is put into and produced from pyruvate processing?
two pyruvates in
acetyl COa, 2 NADH, and CO2 out
where does pyruvate processing occur?
mitochondrial matrix
what happens in pyruvate processing when three carbons in each pyruvate get oxidized?
they resort to NAD+ and NADH
