Cellular Respiration Flashcards
what is most of the ATP in the cell generated by
oxidative phosphorylation
what electron carrier has the most potential energy
NADH
what cycles are included in substrate level phosphorylation
glycolysis
pyruvate oxidation
critic acid cycle
what cycle is included in oxidative phosphorylation
electron transport/ ATP synthesis
is oxygen present in cellular respiration or fermentation
in cellular respiration
not in fermentation
how is ATP produced without O2
glycolysis and fermentation
The electron carriers (_________) that are reduced during glycolysis must be __________ to take part in glycolysis again
NAD+
reoxidized
what are the inputs of glycolysis
glucose
ADP
NAD+
where does fermentation occur and what does it do
cytosol
regenerates NAD+
what happens to pyruvate from glycolysis during fermentation
it is reduced to NADH
where does lactic acid fermentation occur
in some microorganisms and in starved muscle cells
what is the product of lactic acid fermentation
lactate
pyruvate = lactic acid
where does alcohol fermentation take place
yeasts and some plants
what is pyruvate converted to and what is released in alcoholic fermentation
acetaldehyde
CO2 released
what is acetaldehyde reduced by and what does it produce
reduced by NADH
produces NAD+ and ethyl alcohol
