A

activation of glucose by phosphorylation. Glucose is phosphorylated to glucose phosphate, using the hydrolysis of 2 ATP. Glucose phosphate is a 6 carbon molecule with 2 phosphate ions attached. Glucose phosphate is more reactive (activation energy is lowered)

third and fourth stage of glycolysis

A

oxidation of the triose phosphate and production of ATP. 2 triose phosphate are oxidised to pyruvate but 2 molecules of the coenzyme NAD. 2 triose phosphate lose an electron to be oxidised to form 2 molecules of pyruvate. 2 NAD are reduced by gaining an electron (RIG) to form 2 reduced NAD. 4 ATP are Made by substrate level phosphorylation.

65
Q

what happens to the 2 reduced FAD

A

transfers electrons to electron carriers on the inner mitochondrial membrane

66
Q

what is substrate level phosphorylation?

A

production of ATP due to the transfer of a phosphate group from another molecule into ADP. Usually caused by energy released during chemical reaction such as oxidation. Happens during glycosis and kerb

67
Q

A

aerobic respiration

68
Q

where does oxidative phosphorylation take place?

A

inner mitochondrial membrane

69
Q

what is the first stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

reduced NAD and reduced FAD from the previous reactions release hydrogen ions and electrons into matrix

70
Q

what is the second stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

the electrons enter the electron transfer chain and the first carrier becomes reduced

71
Q

what is the third stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

the electrons move down the electron transfer chain in a series of oxidation reduction reactions

72
Q

what is the fifth stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

there is now a high concentration of protons (hydrogen ions) in the inter membrane space, creating a cheimiosmotic gradient

72
Q

what is the fourth stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

this transfer of electrons releases energy to pump protons (hydrogen ions)across inner the Cristal membrane (inner mitochondrial membrane) into the inter membrane space

73
Q

what is the sixth stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

the protons (hydrogen ions move down the chemisomotic gradient through ATP synthase complex

74
Q

what is the seventh stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

energy is transferred to ATP synthase to catalyse the reaction of ADP + PI -> ATP in a condensation reaction

75
Q

what is the eighth stage of oxidative phosphorylation?

A

oxygen is the final electron acceptor, combining two produce water

76
Q

describe exactly where oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria?

A

77
Q

explain why the Cristal of the mitochondria are important in oxidative phosphorylation

A

provide a large surface area for more electron carriers and ATP synthase

78
Q

explain the importance to oxidative phosphorylation of the reduced NAD and reduced FAD from the other parts of respiration

A

they provide electrons to the electron transport chain

79
Q

explain how electrons are important in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

A

they are transferred between electron carriers via a series of oxidation n reduction. reactions. the energy released is used to pump H+ across the membrane

80
Q

explain how protons are important in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

A

they move through ATP synthase during chemiosmosis which transfers energy to ATP synthase so it can make ATP

81
Q

explain what a chemisomotic gradient is

A

more H+ on one side of the membrane than the other

82
Q

explain how ATP synthase is involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

A

it phosphorylates ADP to mark ATP

83
Q

explain the importance of oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

A

it is the final electron acceptor so moves the electron from the final c carrier allowing the electron transfer chain to continue. this forms water

84
Q

describe where oxidation-reduction reactions occur in oxidative phosphorylation

A

between NADH and the carriers at the start between oxygen and the carrier

85
Q

explain what would happen in oxygen wasn’t available as the final electron acceptor in oxidative phosphylation

A

the electrons would remain on the final carrier so that could not accept electrons from other carriers, the first carrier could not accept electrons from. NADH so NAD would not reform and we would run out of NAD and therefore no NSAD to oxidise citrate in Krebs, triose phosphate in glycolysis so glycolysis and Krebs would stop. No NAD to oxidise pyruvate during link, so link reaction stops causing death

86
Q

At each step o the electron transfer chain energy is given out to..

A

pump proteins into the intermediate space to create a cheimosmotic gradient and that drives the condensation off ATP

87
Q

what is uncoupling?

A

the reactions of the ETYC are separated from ATP synthase, less ATP is made and more energy is release as heat

88
Q

examples of alternative respiratory substances

A

lipids and amino acids

89
Q

lipids as an alternative respiratory substance

A

-long term energy stores
-ester bonds are hydrolysed to release glycerol and fatty acids
-fatty acids are Brocken into fragments and oxidised to form aceylocoenzyme to enter the Krebs cycle

90
Q

amino acids as an alternative respiratory substance

A

proteins are used in respiration as a last resort in prolonged starvation, the proteins used could be from muscle tissue. Polypeptides are hydrolysed into amino acids (breaking peptide bonds)
depending on the R-group each amino acid has a different entry point. 4 or 5 carbon molecules are converted into smaller fragments and enter the Krebs cycle

91
Q

mitochondrial disease

A

can reduce ATP production by affecting the proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation or the Krebs cycle function. it can also lead to an increase in anaerobic respiration to make up for the shortage in ATP production which leads to an increase in lactate which can cause muscle fatigue and weakness
