Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Reduction reaction
Addition of an electron
Oxidation reaction
Losing electrons
Hexokinase
Phosphorylates glucose into glucose-6 by taking phosphate from ATP
Where in the cell does glycolysis occur?
Cytosol
What is the purpose of the transition reaction?
To convert pyruvate into Acetyl CoA which then enters the citric acid cycle
Where in the cell does the citric acid cycle occur?
Mitochondrial Matrix
What molecules are produced during the transition reaction?
2 CO2
2 NADH + H
ONE turn of the citric acid cycle produces what molecules?
2 CO2
3 NADH
1 FADH2
1 ATP
An individual glucose molecule goes through how many cycles of the citric acid cycle?
2
Cellular respiration is a catabolic or anabolic pathway?
Catabolic
Chemiosmosis
Production of ATP and uses a proton gradient across a membrane
ATP Synthase
Protein complex that adds a phosphate to ADP with energy from protons diffusing through it
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Oxidation of NADH and FADH2
Phosphorylation of ADP
Produces 90% of oxygen in body
