Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Cellular Respiration
Breakdown of Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins to get energy to do work.
1Glycolysis
cytoplasm. Anaerobic. Will end up with 2 3 carbon compounds: Pyruvate
No carbons oxidized yet
2Acetyl COA synth
cytoplasm
3citric acid cycle
mitchondria matrix
4oxidative phosphorylation/ETC
mitochondria inner membrane
Reduced
gain electrons, inc in electron density
Oxidized
Lose electrons dec in electron density
Glucose Redox
C6H12O6 +6O2 -→ 6CO2 + 6H2O +nrg
Carbohydrate Catabolism
6 carbon sugar broken to water and CO2
highly controlled, tiny steps, energy released along the way
Energy given off when ATP produce or NADH/FADH2 produced
Electron Carriers
reduced along the way. NAD+ and FADH
when reduced: NADH and FADH2<– HIGH PE
will get us most ATP synthed
Intermediates
Pyruvate, acetyl COA
Substrate Level Phosphorylation
a little bit of ATP from glucose breakdown
Glycolysis and citric acid cycle
Molecule w/ phosphate, transfers phosphate to ADP–> ATP with an intermediate
Imideate ATP, but little
Glycolysis Phase 1
Prep for next phases, add 2 phosphate groups. Form Glucose 1, 6-phosphate. Climb up, make more energy rich. NRG input of 2 ATP molecs
Glycolysis Phase 2
make 2 glyceraldehyde 3phosphates
INTERMEDIATES
Glycolysis Phase 3
Two molecs pyruvate formed 2 molecs of NADH electron carriers, 2 ATP. Process is even. (4 ATP made, but 2 were spent to get there, so net 2).
Glucose Break Down
Break down of 6 carbon compound
Step 2: Acetyl-CoA Synth
Pyruvate is input. Put into mitochondrian matrix and changed to Acetyl-CoA:
Release CO2 molec from pyruvate, use to reduce NAD+ to NADH
add coenzyme A w/ CO2 on end, form acetyl-CoA
3 carbon compound to 2 carbon compound
