Q

Inputs for fermentation in plants, fungi , bacteria ?

A

2 pyruvates

19
Q

Outputs for plants, fungi, bacteria in fermentation ?

A

2 ethanol and 2 carbon dioxide

20
Q

Two products for fermentation

A

Bread - yeast

Wine - ethanol

21
Q

What is the purpose of fermentation ?

A

It acts as a feedback mechanism when pyruvates accumulate faster than they are being removed. Anaerobic respiration will slow down glycolysis which in turn could slow down aerobic respiration.

22
Q

Cellular respiration equation

A

C6h12o6+6o2->

36/38 ATP +6Co2+6h2o

23
Q

3 stages of aerobic respiration

A
Glycolysis (cytosol ) 
Krebs cycle (mitochondria 's matrix ) 
Electron transfer (mitochondria's cristae)
24
Outer membrane of mitochondria
Phospholipid | Ions, nutrients , ATP, ADP easily
25
Inner membrane of mitochondria
Freely permeable to oxygen, c02, Water
26
Inter membrane space
Oxidative phosphorylation happens here | Space between the two membranes
27
Matrix
Contains enzyme for citric acid cycle
28
Cells which need a lot of Mitochondrion.
Cardiac muscle cells. | Lung cells
29
Evidence for endosymbiotic theory
Binary fission Ribosomes Circular DNA
30
The endosymbiotic theory
Organelles were once free living bacteria that were engulfed by primitive cells. The bacteria evolved to live symbiotically with cells. This explains for choloroplasts, mitochondria
31
