Q

most of the glucose is converted into two 3-carbon units (pyruvic acid) in the cell cytoplasm ,
The pyruvic acid molecules then enter mitochondria ,
where in another reaction they join with a coenzyme
to form acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl-CoA .

Q

with a large yield of ATP. This stage occurs entirely in mitochondria. Acetyl-CoA is channeled into the Krebs cycle, where the acetyl group is completely oxidized to carbon dioxide. Electrons released from acetyl groups are transferred to special carriers that pass them to electron acceptor compounds in the electron transport chain. At the end of the electron transport chain, the electrons (and the protons accompanying them) are accepted by molecular oxygen to form water.

Q

do electrons move directly from reactant to another

A

A

its the citric acid cycle

41
Q

Is the breaking down and oxidizing of macromolecules (Hydrolysis), releasing energy, that was stored in the molecule.

A

Catabolism , its kind of reactions that occur in the metabolism processor

42
Q

the synthesis of macromolecules (condensation), such as proteins and nucleic acid, requiring energy released through catabolism

A

Anabolism , its kind of reactions that occur in the metabolism processor

43
Q

A

44
Q

the energy resulting from position of structure, e.g. chemical energy stored in the covalent bonds of molecules.

A

kind of energy , potential energy

45
Q

A

kind of energy , kinetic energy

46
Q

Cellular respiration begins with glycolysis that takes place in the cytosol, yields a small amount of ATP, does not require Oxygen

A

step one of cellular respiration

47
Q

Oxidative respiration , takes place in the mitochondria.

Far more effective than glycolysis at recovering the energy from food.

A

step two of cellular respiration

48
Q

The aim is to split 6-carbon monosaccharides into 3-carbon fragments, pyruvic acid

A

step one of glycolysis

49
Q

dephosphorylation. In the next two steps, phosphate groups are taken from the glycolysis intermediates and transferred to ADP, phosphorylating it to ATP. This converts the C3 compound to pyruvic acid.

A

step six and seven of glycolysis

50
Q

oxidation. Each PGAL molecule is then oxidized by removing a pair of hydrogen atoms. The electrons and one proton are picked up by NAD+ and the other proton is released into the cytosol, yielding NADH+H+. At this step, a phosphate (Pi) group is also added to each of the C3 fragments. Unlike the earlier steps, this Pi is not supplied by ATP but comes from the cell’s pool of free phosphate ions.

A

step fife of glycolysis

51
Q

cleavage. The “lysis” part of glycolysis occurs when fructose 1,6-diphosphate splits into two three-carbon (C3) molecules. this generates two molecules PGAL (phosphoglyceraldehyde).

A

step four of glycolysis

52
Q

priming. G6P is rearranged (isomerized) to form fructose 6-phosphate, which is phosphorylated again to form fructose 1,6-diphosphate. This “primes” the process by providing activation energy, somewhat like the heat of a match used to light a fireplace. Two molecules of ATP have already been consumed, but just as a fire gives back more heat than it takes to start it, aerobic respiration eventually gives back far more ATP than it takes to prime glycolysis.

A

step two and three of glycolysis

53
Q

phosphorylation. The enzyme hexokinase transfers an inorganic phosphate group (Pi) from ATP to glucose, producing glucose 6-phosphate (G6P).

A

step one of glycolysis

54
Q

Pyruvic acid is decarboxylated—CO2 is removed and pyruvic acid, a C3 compound, becomes a C2 compound.

A

step one of acetyl Co A formation

55
Q

NAD removes hydrogen atoms from the C2 compound (an oxidation reaction) and converts it to an acetyl group (acetic acid).

A

step two of acetyl Co A formation

56
Q

The acetyl group binds to coenzyme A. The result is acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), which is ready to enter the citric acid cycle.

A

step three of acetyl Co A formation
