Q

glycolysis steps

A

1) phosphorylation- a hexose sugar (glucose) is phosphorylates using ATP, 2 ATP used
2) lysis- the hexose phosphate is split into two triose phosphates
3) oxidation- triose phosphate is oxidized (removal of hydrogen to pyruvate)
NAD is reduced (addition of hydrogen) to NADH
4) ATP is formed by ADP + Pi by substrate level phosphorylation

23
Q

what is used and formed in glycolysis

A

uses 2 ATP
produce 4 ATP
net yield 2ATP

24
Q

what is the names of removal of hydrogen and carbondioxide

A
  • removal of hydrogen is oxidation
  • removal of carbondioxide is decarbocylation
24
Q

link reaction steps

A

1) pyruvate enters the mitochondran matrix from cytoplasm
2) pyruvate bonds with coenzyme
3) enzymes remove one carbon dioxide and hydrogen from the pyruvate
link reaction is oxidative decarboxylation
product is acetylcoenzyme a
NAD reduced to NADH

25
Q

krebs cycle steps

A

1) 4c sugar is added to acetyl of acetyl CoA to form 6c(citric acid)-Coa is recycled back to links reaction
2) to remove C is 6C: Oxidative decarboxylation- NAD is reduced to NADH, CO2 is removed
3) to remove C from 5C: Oxidative decarboxylation- NAD is reduced into NADH and CO2 is removed- forms 4C
4) 1 ATP is produced by substrate level phosphorylation (ADP + pi)
5) process is oxidative as NAD and FAD are reduced by addition of hydrogen FAD->FADH2

26
Q

link reaction products

A

2 co2s
2 NADH

27
Q

yield of krebs cycle

A

4CO2
6NADH
2FADH2
2 ATP

28
Q

What are the names of the 4 intermembrane proteins used in electron transport chain

A
  1. NADH dehydrogenase
    2.succinate reductase
  2. cytochrome oxidase
    4.ATP synthase
29
Q

what comes after the Krebs cycle and where is it performed

A

Electron transport chain
inner membrane/ inter membrane space

30
Q

What is the first step of the electron transport chain

A

NADH dehydrogenase:
NADH is oxidised into NAD and the hydrogen is pumped into the inter membrane space, the electron removed is then used to activate the next protein which is the succinate reductase.

31
Q

What is the second step of the electron transport chain

A

the SUCCINATE REDUCTASE
after activated oxidises FADH2 into FAD where 2 hydrogen ions are pumped into inter membrane space and the 2 electrons activate next protein whihc is the cytochrome oxidase

32
Q

What is the third step of the electron transport chain

A

The CYTOCHROME OXIDASE, reduces oxygen into 2 water molecules by the addition of 4 hydrogen ions and 4 electrons, forming net yield of 2 water molecules

33
Q

What is the last and fourth step of the electron transport chain

A

ATP SYNTHASE
the hydrogen ions which is in high concentrationn in the inter membrane space diffuse through protein by diffusion in a process called chemiosmosis, this hydrogen is used to convert adp into atp, through substrae level phosphorylation
net yeild of atp is 32 atp’s

34
Q

what is anaerobic respiration

A

respiration in absence of oxygen
produces less ATP, less energy compared to aerobic respiration

35
Q

explain anaerobic respiration in yeast (funghi)

A

called, alcohol fermentation:
1.glucose is first converted into pyruvate, (where NADx2 is converted to NADHx2; and ADP+PI x2 converted into ATP x2)

2.pyruvate is converted into 2x acetaldehyde which uses pyruvate decarboxylase (enzyme) and releases one co2

  1. 2x acetaldehyde is converted into 2x ethanol with use of alcohol dehydrogenase (enzyme) (in addition NADH x2 produced in first step is used to create 2x NAD which is then linked back to first step like a cycle)
36
Q

explain anaerobic respiration in animal cells/ humans

A

lactate fermentation:
1. glucose is converted into pyruvate ( NAD x2 converted into NADH x2, and ADP+PI x2 is converted into 2x ATP)

  1. pyruvate is converted nto 2x lactate where lactate dehydrogenase (enzyme) is used, (2x NADH from first step is converted into 2x NAD, reused in first step)
37
Q

products of alcohol fermentation

A

ethanol and co2

38
Q

products of lactate fermentation

A

lactate or lactic acid

39
Q

why is anaerobic respiration used in humans

A

because its the fastest way to create ATP, to maximise power of muscle contraction and remove oxygen debt

40
Q

what does lactate cause in body

A

as its toxic, causes cramps

41
Q

lactate must be broken down by what? into what?

A

by the liver into water and carbon dioxide

42
Q

why is yeast used in baking

A

yeast anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which evaporates, carbon dioxide cant escape forms bubbles, bread rise and swell

43
Q

besides from bread how else is ethanol from fermentation used

A

to make beer and wine, glucose from beer comes from barley and wine from grapes

44
Q

most bioethanol is produced from

A

sugar caine and maize using yeast

45
Q

what keeps the yeast at optimum conditions

A

fermenters

46
Q

what are the adpatations of inter membrane space for its function

A

small space maximizes H+ ions accumulation to quickly generate an electro chemical concentration gradient for chemiosmosis

47
Q

what are the adpatations of matrix for its function

A

fluid containing enzymes and optimum PH for the krebs cycle and the link reaction

48
Q

what are the adpatations of cristae for its function

A

inner membrane folds to increase surface area avilable for oxidative phosphorylation

what are the adpatations of 70s ribosomes for its function

A

synthesises proteins including enzymes used in aerobic respiration

50

what are the adpatations of circular dna for its function

A

necessary for mitochondria function including protein synthesis

what are the adpatations of outer membrane for its function

A

contains transport proteins such as channles to enable the shuttling of pyruvate from the cytosol

Q

what are the adpatations of inner membrane for its function

A

contains the carrier protein complexes that make up the electron transport chain such as proton pumps and ATP synthase
