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
Q
  • citric acid energy harvest forms
A

NADH - FADH2

26
Q
  • mitochondria mebrane function
A

large surface area for many copies of é transport chain

27
Q
  • purpose of é fall in transport chain
A

pumps H+ ions across inner mitochondrial membrane - causes [ ] buildup = potential energy

28
Q
  • describe ATP synthase
A

protein turbine built in to inner mitochondrial membrane

29
Q
  • explain ATP production é transport chain
A

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
Q
  • how does cyanide work
A

binds to a protein complex of é chain - blocks é passage to oxygen = dead

31
Q
  • ATP production breakdown
A

glycolysis 2 output // citric acid 2 output // é transport 2 output

32
Q
  • fermentation def + when
A

anaerobic (oxygen NOT final acceptor) harvest of food energy - cells get like this when ATP spent faster than O2 delivered

33
Q
  • waste product from addition of electrons of pyruvic acid (from NDAH disposal there) + food example
A

lactic acid - ie sour cream taste

34
Q
  • was glycolysis used before O2
A

yes - oldest bacteria 3.5 billion years old - O2 comes in 2.7 byo

35

36
Q
  • what is first law of thermodynamics
A

no e lost or gained

37
Q
  • high stored E to low stored E biological examples
A

Wood → ash/CO2/heat // pigment molecule with é in high orbit → pigment molecule with E in low orbit

38
Q
  • 2nd law of thermo dynamics explain + implications
A

no rxn 100% efficient - everything tends to disorder - if you want to brocess info u need E source

39
Q
  • explain degradative resp 2nd law thermo tie in
A

burning high energy molecules → CO2 =to less stored energy and ꜛ entropy

40
Q
  • explain sun 2nd thermo law tie-in
A

concentrated E in sun ultimately dissipated as heat

41
Q
  • explain early E capture theory
A

molecules in membrane absorb light to chemical gradients = high energy phosphate molecules - early metabolism may have been this

42
Q
  • explain é transport chain in terms of reaction types
A

each step = exergonic rxn coupled to endergonic rxn (take E to occur) - sup of endergonic rxns sets condition for ATP production

43
