Cellular Respiration Exam 3 Flashcards
- autotrophs
producers - make all their own organic matter ie carbs lipids proteins nucleic acieds - from inorganic CO2/air/water
- heterotrophs
consumers - can’t make organic molecules from inorganics
- glucose molecule formula
C6H12O6
- explain energy flow/elemnt cycle
energy flows through ecosystem - elements recycled
- explain O2 CO2 diffusion
oxygen diffuses across lung lining into blood - CO@ diffuses from blood out of lungs - all CO@ exhale formed in mitochondria
- cellular (degradative) respiration def
aerobic harvesting of chemical energy from organic fuel molecules - 3 stages 1 glycolysis 2 citric acid Krebs cycle 3 electron transport
- write simplified cell resp equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP
- how many ATP produced cell resp total
38 for each glucose (32 from NADH and FADH2 chain + 2 glycolysis + 2 citric acid)
- what is redox reaction + components
transfer é from one substance to other - loss of electrons = oxidation - glucose oxidized // acceptance of electrons = reduction (positive charge reduced)
- oxygen function in redox reactions + example
oxygen = electron grabber ie falling from glucose to oxygen - to release energe
- sentence to describe cellular respiration
cellular respiration unlocks chemical energy in smaller amounts that cells can put to productive use
- first stop of é from glucose → O2
NAD+ (From niacin) - reduces to NADH
- what pulls és down é transport chain
attraction of oxygen to electrons
- explain use each link in é transport chain
a molecule - és give up E with each transfer - indirectly used for ATP - molecule at bottom of chain drop é to Oxygen
- function of NADH
carries és to top of é transport chain
- why does drowning kill
deprives cell of oxygen electron grabbers for cell resp
- def glycolisis + where those enzymes
(splitting of sugar) glucose split into 2 pyruvic acid - enzymes in cytoplasm for it
- define citric acid cycle
breakdown glucose to CO2 - transfers é to NAD+ for NADH = redox - in mitochondira (enzyme loca)
- define electron transport stage
és from NADH fall down chain to oxygen (attracted) - set of enzymes and cofactores (non-protein molecules)
- steps of glycolysis
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
