Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Formula for Cellular Respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 > 6H2O + heat + ATP
Function of NAD+?
A taxi service for high energy electrons
What are the reactants to Glycolysis?
Glucose, 2 ATP molecules
What are the products of Glycolysis?
4 ATP Molecules, 2 pyruvate molecules
Waste of Glycolysis?
CO2
What is pyruvate and what is the name of the molecule it is oxidized to?
3 Carbon molecule. It’s oxidized to Acetyl-CoA
What do you get when you add oxaloacetate (6-C molecule) + Acetyl-CoA (2-C Molecule)?
Citrate (6C Molecule)
Reactants for Krebs Cycle B?
Citrate, NAD+
Products of Krebs B?
4-C molecule, ATP
Reactants for Krebs C?
4C molecule, FAD, NAD+
Products of Krebs C?
Oxaloacetate, NADH, FADH2
Where does the Krebs cycle take place?
mitochondrial matrix
How many ATP generated for each pyruvate?
1
how many ATP generated for each glucose molecule?
2
Formula for aerobic respiration?
O2 + 4H+ + 4e- > 2H2O
What is ATP Synthase synthesized by?
Chemiosmosis
For 1 molecule of glucose, how many ATP are made?
Roughly 30
How does the electron transport chain extract energy?
By creating a proton gradient
If O2 isn’t the final e- acceptor, what is?
CO2, or methanogens. AKA anaerobic respiration
What is the last e- acceptor in chemical respiration?
H2O
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 12H2O + light <> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Stroma or cytoplasm. It has enzymes to make large C chains
How do you know the reverse of photosynthesis is aerobic respiration?
If you go backwards, the final e- acceptor is H2O, producing water
What happens in light dependent stage of photosynthesis?
It’s where we get e- and ATP.
