Cellular Respiration and Transport Flashcards
How many ATP are produced via aerobic respiration?
34-36 ATP
How many ATP are produced by anaerobic respiration and what is the by-product?
2ATP
Lactic Acid
What are the steps in Aerobic respiration?
Glucose>Glycolysis>2 pyruvate>pyruvate processing>2 Acetyl CoA>Krebs Cycle>Electron transport chain
Passive Transport (3 types)
Simple Diffusion
Facilitated Diffusion
Osmosis
Active Transport (2 types)
Primary Active Transport (Na+)
Secondary Active Transport
-Contransport
(solute moves same direction as ion)
-Countertransport
(solute moves opposite direction of ion)
3 categories of transport across membranes
Passive
Active
Exocytosis/Endocytosis
Primary Active Transport
- Molecules are pumped against a concentration gradient at the expense of energy - direct use of ATP
- uniport
Secondary Active Transport
Transport is driven by the energy stored in the concentration gradient of another molecule (Na+) - i.e. one molecule down gradient, one molecule against gradient (Indirect use of ATP)
Example of Cotransport (Secondary active transport)
Absorption of glucose along with Na+ into small intestines and into kidney cells
- Na+/K+ pump maintains a higher concentration of Na+ outside the cell than inside
- As sodium leaks back into the cell through another transport protein, glucose moves through the same protein, using the energy of the Na+ concentration gradient
