Cellular respiration Flashcards
ATP
Able to store energy due to negative charge
PHOSPHORYLATION
- Breaking the terminal group of an ATP/ADP molecule and transferring it to another molecule.
- Molecule becomes temporarily energetic and able to perform cellular work
METABOLISM
The sum of all BIOCHEMICAL REACTIONS in the BODY
CATABOLIC
Break down
ANABOLIC
Build up
ACR equation
glucose + 6 oxygen —> 6 water + 6 carbon dioxide (+36atp)
Where does glycolysis occur?
cytosol
Where does the Krebs cycle occur?
in the matrix of the mitochondria
Where does the Electron Transport Chain occur?
in the cristae of the mitochondria
Name the products of glycolysis in aerobic respiration
2 pyruvate, 2ATP and 2 NADH
Name the products of the Krebs cycle
Carbon dioxide and 8NADH, 2 FADH2 and 2 ATP.
Name the products of the Electron Transport Chain
26-28 ATP. Water, 10 NAD+ 2 FAD+
How many ATP are made in aerobic respiration?
30-32 ATP
How many ATP are made in anaerobic respiration?
2 ATP
How many net ATP are made in glycolysis?
2 ATP
How many net ATP are made in the Krebs cycle?
2 ATP
How many net ATP are made in the Electron Transport Chain?
26-28ATP
Describe the process of glycolysis
6-C glucose is broken into 2 pyruvic acids (3-C) creating 2ATP and 2NADH
Describe the process of the Krebs cycle
Removal of H+ions from pyruvate creating loaded coenzymes and CO2 as a waste product
Describe the process of the Electron Transport Chain
H+ ions are pumped across the membrane creating a concentration gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP. Hydrogen rushes back across the mebrane (ATP synthase). Oxygen is the final acceptor of the H+ ions and electrons forming water.
Which part of aerobic respiration doesn’t actually require oxygen?
Glycolysis (this would therefore occur in both anaerobic and aerobic)
List 4 metabolic processes that require ATP
muscle contraction
Active transport
Cell division
thermogenesis
what is the purpose of NADH and FADH2 molecules produced during glycolysis and the krebs cycles?
serves as a carrier of high-energy electrons and protons to the ETC to facilitate the generation of ATP
