Ch 7-3 Flashcards
What is the primary process that drives ATP production in cellular respiration?
Oxidative phosphorylation
What are the products of pyruvate oxidation?
Acetyl-CoA, CO2, and NADH.
Where does the electron transport chain occur in eukaryotic cells?
Inner mitochondrial membrane
What is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration?
Oxygen
How many molecules of NADH are produced per turn of the citric acid cycle?
Three NADH molecules.
What molecule shuttles electrons between complexes in the electron transport chain?
Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q).
What process follows the electron transport chain to generate ATP?
Chemiosmosis
What is the total ATP yield per glucose molecule in cellular respiration?
30 to 32 ATP.
What is the function of ATP synthase?
To synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using the proton gradient.
What type of organisms use both fermentation and aerobic respiration depending on oxygen availability?
Facultative anaerobes
t/f FADH2 generates more ATP than NADH during oxidative phosphorylation.
A: False (NADH generates more ATP).
T/F : Proton pumping occurs in complexes I, III, and IV of the electron transport chain.
TRUE
T/F: Ubiquinone is a protein that transports electrons between complexes in the electron transport chain.
False (Ubiquinone is not a protein).
T/F = Anaerobic respiration produces more ATP than aerobic respiration.
False, (aerobic respiration produces more ATP)
T/F : Oxidative phosphorylation requires oxygen to function.
True
T/f ; The citric acid cycle produces ATP directly.
True (but only one ATP per cycle)
T/F : Cytochrome proteins are involved in electron transport in the electron transport chain.
TRUE
T/F: The chemiosmotic process is independent of the electron transport chain.
False (it depends on the electron transport chain to create the proton gradient).
T/F: Complex II of the electron transport chain is a proton pump.
A: False (Complex II is not a proton pump).
T/F: Facultative anaerobes can switch between fermentation and aerobic respiration.
TRUE
