Ch. 7 Flashcards
able to produce their own organic molecules through photosynthesis
autotrophs
loss of electrons is accompanied by hydrogen
dehydrogenations
loss of electrons
oxidations
live on organic compounds produced by other organisms
heterotrophs
a series of reactions that are oxidations and dehydrogenations
cellular respiration
electrons carry energy from one molecule to another
redox reactions
final electron acceptor is O2
aerobic respiration
final electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule (not O2)
anaerobic respiration
final acceptor is an organic molecule
fermenation
complete oxidation of glucose stages
glycolysis
pyruvate oxidation
krebs cycle
ETC & chemiosmosis
____ occurs in cytoplasm
glycolysis
glcolysis three stages
energy investment/priming
cleavage reactions
energy production
products of glycolysis
2 pyruvates
net total of 2 ATP
2 NADH
2 water molcules
in full respiration pyruvate is
oxidized to acetyl-CoA entering krebs cycle
without oxygen or other terminal electron carrier pyruvate is
reduced to oxidized NADH back to NAD+
