23
Q

final electron acceptor in etc/cellular respiration

A

oxygen

24
Q

final electron acceptor in lactic acid fermentation

A

pyruvate

25
Q

energy flow sequence in cellular respiration

A

glucose -> NADH -> ETC -> proton-motive force -> ATP

26
Q

what % of the glucose molecule is transferred to atp during cellular respiration

A

34%

27
Q

equation for formation of water at the end of etc

A

1/2 O2 + 2e- + 2H+ -> water

28
Q

processs that generates most of the atp

A

oxidative phosphorylation

29
Q

smaller amount of atp is formed in glycolysis and citric acid cycle by __

A

substrate level phosphorylation

30
Q

how is fat used in cellular respiration

A

glycerol - enters glycolysis for degradation
fatty acids - converted to acetyl Coa and enter citric acid cycle

31
Q

how is protein used for cellular respiration

A
  1. broken down to amino acid
  2. amino acid is deaminated (remove amino group which becomes ammonia and is excreted)
  3. remaining carbon portion of amino acid enters respiration through glycolysis, acetyl coa formation or citric acid cycle
32
Q

simplest amino acid

A

tryptophan

33
Q

effect of temperature in cellular respiration

A

low respiration - 0 degrees celsius (undergoes hibernation or aevation)

denaturation if temp is > 40 degrees celsius

maximum: 35 40

34
Q

effect of oxygen in cellular respiration

A

presence enables krebs and etc
absence leads to fermentation

35
Q

effect of co2 concentration in cellular respiration

A

higher concentration retards respiration

36
Q

effect of state of hydration to cellular respiration

A

dry seeds = low respiration

37
Q

effect of age and type of tissue on cellular respiration

A

young = more respiration
