Q
  • what is redox reaction + components
A

transfer é from one substance to other - loss of electrons = oxidation - glucose oxidized // acceptance of electrons = reduction (positive charge reduced)

Q
  • steps of glycolysis
A

Glycolysis - 1. 6-C glucose broken in half to 2 3-C - requires two ATP // 2. 3-Cs donate é to make NADH // 2 ATP per glucose molecule made

21
Q
  • explain phosphate groups glycolysis
A

3-C molecule has 1 P group - used to transfer é to NAD - then 2 P groups used to make 2 ATP each

22
Q
  • glycolysis products
A

(NADH) (2 net ATP) 2 Pyruvic acid

23
Q
  • List steps of pyruvic acid grooming to Acetyl CoA
A
  1. loses a carbon as CO2 (1st cell resp waste product) → acetic acid 2.oxidation generates NADH 3. acetic acid + CoA to Acetyl CoA for escort to citric acid cycle
24
Q
  • citric acid cycle steps
A

acetic acid + 4-C acceptor → 6-C citric acid → 2 CO2 eventually (&H20) // cycle goes twic for 1 glucose molecule

25
- citric acid energy harvest forms
NADH - FADH2
26
- mitochondria mebrane function
large surface area for many copies of é transport chain
27
- purpose of é fall in transport chain
pumps H+ ions across inner mitochondrial membrane - causes \[ ] buildup = potential energy
28
- describe ATP synthase
protein turbine built in to inner mitochondrial membrane
29
- explain ATP production é transport chain
NADH + FADH2 transfer high E é to cofactor chain // this E pumps H+ out of matrix // Oxygen pulls és down the chain // H+ back into matrix through ATP synthase = ATP
30
- how does cyanide work
binds to a protein complex of é chain - blocks é passage to oxygen = dead
31
- ATP production breakdown
glycolysis 2 output // citric acid 2 output // é transport 2 output
32
- fermentation def + when
anaerobic (oxygen NOT final acceptor) harvest of food energy - cells get like this when ATP spent faster than O2 delivered
33
- waste product from addition of electrons of pyruvic acid (from NDAH disposal there) + food example
lactic acid - ie sour cream taste
34
- was glycolysis used before O2
yes - oldest bacteria 3.5 billion years old - O2 comes in 2.7 byo

36
- what is first law of thermodynamics
no e lost or gained
37
- high stored E to low stored E biological examples
Wood → ash/CO2/heat // pigment molecule with é in high orbit → pigment molecule with E in low orbit
38
- 2nd law of thermo dynamics explain + implications
no rxn 100% efficient - everything tends to disorder - if you want to brocess info u need E source
39
- explain degradative resp 2nd law thermo tie in
burning high energy molecules → CO2 =to less stored energy and ꜛ entropy
40
- explain sun 2nd thermo law tie-in
concentrated E in sun ultimately dissipated as heat
41
- explain early E capture theory
molecules in membrane absorb light to chemical gradients = high energy phosphate molecules - early metabolism may have been this
42
- explain é transport chain in terms of reaction types
each step = exergonic rxn coupled to endergonic rxn (take E to occur) - sup of endergonic rxns sets condition for ATP production
43
- classification of NADH
NADH = nucleotide coenzyme
44
- explain é transport chain structure
anchored next to each other in membrane
45
- is glycolysis efficient?
no only 2 ATP produced
46
- are citric acid cycle + é transport efficient ATP producers?
yes
47
- explain glycolysis energy payoff phase
G3P goes to pyruvate - produces 2 ATP
48
- why are cycles efficient
recycle molecules through the system
49
- chemiosmosis
pproduction of ATP from H+ gradient
50
- glycolysis efficiency
40% effieiency - 40% glucose changed into ATP
51
- explain alcoholic fermentation
pyrvuate goes to alcohol - ie yeast - not efficient but yeast can do efficient O2 when available or not when not
