ch. 7 | cellular respiration Flashcards
from 7.2
what happens during the energy-investment steps of glyolysis?
- 2 ATP used to activate glucose
- glucose splits into 2 G3P molecules
from 7.2
what happens during the energy-harvesting stage of glycolysis?
- ATP activates glucose & produces 2 G3P molecules
- G3P is oxidized (removes hydrogen atoms)
- hydrogen atoms picked up by NAD+ –> NADH
- substrates from oxidation synthesize 4 ATP**
**definiion in its own card
from 7.2
how many ATP, NADH, and pyruvates are produced after glycolysis?
why are there not more ATP produced?
(net) 2 ATP
2 ADP
2 NADH
2 pyruvate
there are 4 ATP produced, but 2 are used in glycolysis
from 7.2
when oxygen is available _____ enters the mitochondria to be _________
pyruvate; broken down
from 7.2
what happens if oxygen isn’t available for cellular respiration?
fermentation
from 7.2
ATP and NADH+ activate which stage of cellular respiration?
glycolysis
from 7.3
what does a lack of oxygen mean for NAD+ & FAD?
they cannot be recycled
from 7.3
during fermentation, pyruvate is reduced to form ______
lactate
from 7.3
_______ is regenerated when pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid
NAD+
from 7.3
in what types of cells is fermentation commonly used as a pathway?
muscle cells
from 7.3
lactate is transported to the liver and reconverted to
what happens to this substance after?
pyruvate
some reenters cellular respiration pathways & the rest –> glucose
from 7.3
alcohol fermentation releases small amounts of ____________________
carbon dioxide
when yeasts are in an anaerobic environment, they ferment and produce small amounts of ____________
ATP
from 7.3
ATP produced during fermentation are a result of _______________ because fermentation comes after it
glycolysis
from 7.3
substrate-elevel synthesis produces how many ATP by the anaerobic pathways in fermentation?
what do these represent?
2
a small fraction of the potential energy stored in a glucose molecule
