Q

How much ATP is produced per glucose molecule as a direct result of glycolysis?

A

2 net ATP
(4 ATPs are made, but 2 ATPs were used at the start of the reaction, so there is only a net gain of 2 ATPs at the end of glycolysis)

Q

What is the option after glycolysis if no oxygen is available?

A

Glycolysis can lead to fermentation (alcoholic or lactic acid fermentation) if oxygen is not available for the aerobic cellular respiration pathway in the mitochondria

Q

What types of organisms will use glycolysis?

A

All organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, so no specialized cellular structure is required, allowing the reaction to occur in simple prokaryotic cells, as well as in complex eukaryotic cells.

Q

Where does the ETC occur

A

Inner membrane

20
Q

If a certain enzyme inhibitor affects enzymes in glycolysis reactions, what types of organisms will this inhibitor impact?

A

All organisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, would be affected b/c all organisms perform glycolysis.

21
Q

What are the inputs of the Prep Reaction

A

Pyruvates (also coA and NAD+)

22
Q

What are the outputs of the Prep Reaction

A

Acetyl CoA, NADH, and CO2

23
Q

Steps of the Prep Reaction

A

Prep reactions convert a 3-carbon pyruvate into a 2-carbon acetyl CoA.
Carbon is removed from pyruvate forming the 2-c acetyl and CO2 is released.
Coenzyme A is added to the acetyl and forms acetyl CoA which enters the Krebs cycle.
(This process is the same for both pyruvates.)

24
Q

What molecules are produced from the Krebs cycle?

A

CO2, 2 ATP, NADH, and FADH2

25
Q

Which of these molecules is/are given off as waste?
CO2, 2 ATP, NADH, and FADH2

A

CO2

26
Q

Which of these molecules continue on to the Electron transport chain?
CO2, 2 ATP, NADH, and FADH2

A

NADH and FADH2

27
Q

What are the inputs of the ETC?

A

O2, NADH, FADH2 (also ADP + P)

28
Q

What are the outputs of the ETC?

A

H2O, 32-34 ATP (also NAD+ and FAD)

29
Q

What happens to the electrons in the ETC?

A

High-energy electrons will be released from the electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and move along the inner membrane of the mitochondria, passing from one carrier protein to the next, giving energy as they go for the pumping of H+. Electrons will then be received by oxygen, the final electron acceptor.

30
Q

What happens to the NAD+ and FAD after the ETC?

A

They will return to the earlier stages to be reduced/“recharged” again.

31
Q

Energy from the ETC is used to pump H+ from _______ to _______________________.

A

Matrix
Intermembrane space

32
Q

During chemiosmosis in mitochondria, H+ builds up in the _____________. When these H+ flow _________ their concentration gradient into the matrix, _______ is produced from ADP + P.

A

Intermembrane Space
Down
ATP

33
Q

Explain the importance of oxygen in the ETC.

A

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and needs to be there to collect the electrons at the end of the ETC. ETC relies on oxygen to be present in order to occur. Since the bulk of ATP is made in the ETC, without oxygen, aerobic cellular respiration could not happen, which greatly reduces the amount of energy that can be released for the cell to use.

34
Q

Water is the final product of cellular respiration. How is this water produced?

A

Oxygen picks up the electrons from the ETC and the H+ that have diffused through the ATP Synthase, forming water molecules, which will be released from the mitochondria

35
Q

Cellular respiration yields what percentage of the energy of the glucose input?

A

About 39% of the energy in glucose is harvested to produce ATP

36
Q

ATP can be produced by substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation. In which stages of respiration will you find each type?

A

Glycolysis and Krebs’s cycle use substrate-level phosphorylation
ETC uses oxidative phosphorylation (chemiosmosis)

37
Q

How much ATP is produced in each stage of cellular respiration?

A

Glycolysis: 2 (net) ATP
Prep Reactions: 0 ATP
Krebs Cycle: 2 ATP
ETC: 32-34 ATP
Total: 36-38 ATP
