Q

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

A

they are inverse relationships; one removes CO2 from the atmosphere while the other puts it back

Q

What is fermentation?

A

a catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an ETC and prodcues either alcohol or lactic acid

a partial degration of sugars without oxygen

Q

What is aerobic respiration?

A

a catabolic pathway that uses oxygen as the final electron acceptor in an ETC and ultimately produces ATP

most efficient catabolic pathway

Q

What is an electron transport chain? (ETC)

A

a sequence of electron carrier molecules that shuttle electrons down a series of reactions that release energy to make ATP

produces most ATP in cellular respiration

found in mitochondria and chloroplasts

Q

What is the Krebs Cycle?

AKA Citric Acid Cycle

A
  • oxalocetate combines with acetyl CoA to form citrate
  • stage where all bonds from food are broken down

16
Q

How are hydrogen ions (protons) moved into the intermembrane space?

A

as electrons move down the ETC, they pull H+ across the membrane via proton pumps

17
Q

What does the accumulation of H+ do in the ETC?

A

causes protons to flow through ATP synthase in the inner membrane –> ATP production

18
Q

What is ATP synthase?

A

an enzyme that uses energy from H+ to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to form ATP

19
Q

What are the pros of anaerobic pathways?

A
  1. occurs at a very fast pace
  2. does not require O2
20
Q

What are the cons of anaerobic pathways?

A
  1. produces very minimal ATP
  2. produces lactic acid or alcohol
21
Q

What is the balanced equation for lactic acid fermentation?

A

C6 H12 O6 –> 2C3 H6 O3

22
Q

What is the balanced equation for alcohol fermentation?

A

C6 H12 O6 –> 2C2 H5 OH + 2CO2

23
Q

Into which stage of cellular respiration can fats and proteins be inserted?

A

Citric Acid Cycle

24
Q

What is substrate-level phosphorylation?

A

when ADP or GDP is phosphorylated by a substrate to produce ATP or GTP

25
Q

What is chemiosmosis?

A

the process of diffusion of ions across a selectively permeable membrane

26
Q

What function do NADH and FADH2 serve in cellular respiration?

A

act as high electron carriers used to transport electrons made from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to the ETC

27
Q

What is pyruvate?

A
  • the end product of glycolysis, made when a glucose molecule is split
  • converted to acetyl CoA when oxidized before entering the Krebs cycle
28
Q

What are downhill reactions?

A

spontaneous reactions that release energy

29
Q

What are uphill reactions?

A

non-spontaneous reactions that absorb more energy
