Cellular Respiration Flashcards
When delta G is positive, energy is…
Absorbed (endergonic)
Phosphorylation
The process of adding energy and an inorganic compound to ADP to make ATP
Substrate level phosphorylation
when a phosphate group and its associated energy are transferred to ADP to form ATP (the substrate donates he ugh energy phosphate group). Example: glycolysis
Oxidative phosphorylation
When a phosphate group is added but the energy comes from electrons
Three steps of aerobic respiration
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, electron transport chain
Glycolysis
The decomposition of glucose to pyruvate. Steps: 2 ATP added. 2 NADH produced. 4ATP produced. 2 Pyruvate formed.
Krebs cycle
Steps: Puruvate to acetyl CoA. For each pyruvate:
Creates 3 NADH, 1 FADH(2), 1ATP and 2 co(2).
Four areas of the mitochondria
Outer membrane
Inter membrane space
Inner membrane. Convulsions are cristae. ETC happens here.
Matrix. Inner fluid. Krebs cycle happens here
How does chemiosmosis work?
Energy is stored in the form of a proton gradient between the inner membrane and the inter membrane space. Think energy produced when turbines forced to spin
Two kinds of anaerobic respiration
Alcohol fermentation: takes place in the cytoplasm, frees up NAD+ by using NADH to make acetaldehyde, then ethanol. Does this so that glycolysis
Lactic acid fermentation: same idea, just converts a pyruvate to lactate
When delta G is negative, energy is…
Released (exergonic)
