Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Types of Respiration
- Aerobic respiration
- Anaerobic respiration
- Heat-generating respiration
- Pentose phosphate pathway
- Respiration of Lipids
- Photorespiration
process that breaks down complex carbon compounds into simpler molecules and simultaneously generates the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) used to power other metabolic processes.
Respiration
Carbon oxidation state goes from ___ to ___ as electrons are removed by NAD+, which is converted to NADH in the process
+0 to +4
What removes the electrons from carbon
NAD+
- without air
- type of cellular respiration that does not use oxygen to produce energy
Anaerobic Respiration
- anaerobic process in which energy can be released from glucose even if oxygen is not available
Fermentation
Types of Fermentation
- Alcoholic fermentation
- Lactic acid fermentation
- also referred to as ethanol fermentation
- occurs in plants and yeast
- Yeast cells perform this type of fermentation that produces the alcohol we drink like beer and wine
Alcoholic fermentation
where alcoholic fermentation occurs
- plants
- yeast
- occurs in animals and humans
- produces lactic acid (lactate)
- used to preserve dairy products, vegetables, and meat
Lactic acid fermentation
- actually a poisonous chemical
- accumulation causes cramps and muscle pain
lactic acid (lactate)
- with oxygen present
- A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars).
Aerobic respiration
means sweet
glyks
means breakdown/ splitting
lysis
where does glycolysis occur
- cytosol
- plastids
series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates
Glycolysis
1st phase of glycolysis
- energy is used instead of produced
- glucose is converted into two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
2nd phase of glycolysis
- energy is produced
- glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is converted into pyruvate
adds a phosphate into glucose to form glucose 6- phosphate
kinase reaction
converts glucose 6-phosphate into fructose-6-phosphate by rearranging covalent bond
isomerase reaction
Another kinase removes a phosphate group from ATP and gives it to fructose 6-phosphate to form ___ ___.
fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
what is formed after the first kinase reaction in glycolysis
glucose 6-phosphate
what is formed after an isomerase reaction in glycolysis
fructose-6-phosphate
splits the 6-carbon fructose 1,6
bisphosphate into two sugars, DHAP and G3P
lyase reaction
what is produced after lyase reaction that splits the 6-carbon fructose
two sugars:
- DHAP
- G3P
DHAP
dihydroxyacetone phosphate
G3P
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are___ to 1,3-
bisphosphate by dehydrogenase
oxidized
formed after oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
1,3-biphosphate
a ___ transfers a phosphate from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to ADP to form ATP and 3-phosphoglycerate
kinase
what is formed after a kinase transfers a phosphate from 1,3-bisphosphogylcerate to ADP
- ATP
- 3-phosphoglycerate
involves a ___ ___ that moves the phosphate to form 2-phosphoglycerate.
mutase reaction
what is formed after a mutase reaction
2-phosphhoglycerate
A ___ ___ removes water from 2-phosphoglycerate to form phosphoenolpyruvate
lyase reaction
what is formed after a lyase reaction that removes water from 2-phosphoglycerate
phosphoenolpyruvate
a ___ ___ removes the phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate and donates it to ADP to form ATP and pyruvate.
kinase reaction
what is formed after a kinase reaction that removes the phosphate group from phosphoenolpyruvate and donates it to ADP
- ATP
- pyruvate
what is formed after glycolysis of one glucose molecule
- 2 pyruvate molecule
- 2 ATP
- 2 NADH
- the final pathway of oxidation of glucose, fats, and amino acids
- major source of ATP production in the cells
- large amount of energy is produced after the complete oxidation of nutrients.
