cellular respiration and cytosol metabolism Flashcards
what is ACR
a type of CR that requires O2 to create ATP
what is Anaroebic CR
a type of CR which doesn’t require O2 ( fermentation )
what does ACR use to fuel body
carbs , fat and protein
what is CR formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 + ADP + P1 = 6CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (ATP and heat )
is glucose breakdown endergonic or exergonic
exergonic
when e + H are removed from glucose with what do they combine
O2 to form water then CO2
why can’t we do CR in one step
- because body temps isn’t high enough to permit rapid combination of H + O2
- if electrons are released all at once , the body wouldn’t have time to take and use them for body work
e + H + O2 binding is in which step
controlled process
does NADH pass its e- directly to O2
NO.
H2 + O2 + EA form what
an explosion
what does the explosive release represent
Energy release as there is a high electronegativity
so what happens if NADH releases its electrons directly to O2
the cell won’t be able to capture that explosive energy release ( uncontrolled reaction )
before transferring e- to O2 where does NADH release it
to ETC
does e- energy transfer increase or decrease with each transfer
decrease
who is the final or last electron acceptor
O2
who is the most versatile electron acceptor in CR
NAD
what does ETC consist of
proteins
where are ETC molecules made?
in the inner membrane of mitochondria
what is ETC
a chain of electrons pulled by O2-like gravity pulling objects down
what happens to molecules in ETC progressively
they increase in electronegativity
what are the 2 compartments of mitochondria
- matrix
- inter- membrane
