Cell Breathing Flashcards
What is the net equation of Glycolysis?
Glucose + 2 ATP -> 2 pyruvate + 4 ATP
What step of glycolysis does G3P first appear in?
Step 4 (cleavage step)
What are the first 5 steps of glycolysis called?
Preparatory phase
What is the net cost of the preparatory phase?
2 ATP
What does Step 6 of glycolysis require? It’s two things
NAD+ (turns into NADH) and Pi
What step does the first ATP (made from an ADP) appear?
Step 7 (dephosphorylation)
When does the last ATP appear? (Keep in mind its 2 per G3P)
Step 10 (second dephosphorylation)
What else is the result of step 10 of glycolysis besides ATP?
Pyruvate
What is the net gain of glycolysis?
2 ATP and 2 pyruvate
Does glycolysis require oxygen? What is that called?
No, anaerobic
Where does aerobic respiration occur?
Mitochondria
Where does the pyruvate from glycolysis go?
The mitochondrial matrix
What does pyruvate join with in the mitochondrial matrix? To form what?
Coenzyme A, they form acetyl-CoA
What is the net gain of 2 acetyl-coA being put into the TCA cycle?
6 NADH + 2 FADH2 + 2 ATP
How many steps are in the TCA cycle?
8
What are molecules needed for the TCA cycle?
- Water
- NAD+
- Pi
- 2 acetyl coA
- FAD
What are the 3 parts of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, TCA, oxidative phosphorylation
Each component of the electron transport chain has a ___ affinity for electrons than the last
Higher
What is the creation of ATP called from the TCA and glycolysis?
Substrate level phosphorylation (direct transfer of Pi)
How do electrons enter the electron transport chain?
NADH and FADH2 oxidation
