Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Where does Cellular Respiration in Eukaryotes?
Mitochondrion
Where does Cellular Respiration Occur in prokaryotes
Plasma membrane or internalized membranes
Latgest ATP generator in the cell
Mitochondrion
Where does pyruvate oxidation occur in the mitochondria?
Matrix
stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation
what does ATP stand for
Adenosine Triphosphate
Goal of Krebs Cycle
To liberate electrons in the non-polar bonds of Acetyl-CoA to generate chemical energy
What molecule shuttles electrons from complex 1 to complex 3 in the electron transport chain?
ubiquinone
what is the final electronic acceptor in the electron trasport chain
O2
is cytochrome c in the electron transport chain hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
is ubiquinone hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
hydrophobic
is the electron transport chain spontaneous or non spontaneous?
spontaneous
what non protein molecules transport facilitate the transport of electrons in the electron transport chain?
prosthetic groups
what energy is produced when there is both a chemical gradient and a concentration gradient?
proton-motive force or membrane potential
who proposed chemiosmosis?
Peter Mitchell
