Ch. 8: How Cells Make ATP: Energy-Releasing Pathways Vocabulary Flashcards
__ pathways have exergonic reactions
- cellular respiration is __ (big to small = break down into smaller parts)
catabolic
__ goes from small to big (photosynthesis)
anabolic
__ metabolic pathways release free energy that is captured by the cell
exergonic
__ cellular respiration is a catabolic process that converts energy in chemical bonds of nutrients to chemical energy stored in ATP
- humans and animals do this
- requires oxygen (it is the final thing to get its H+ ions)
- big to small
aerobic
__ respiration does not require oxygen
anarobic
__ is just glycolysis (breaking down of sugars)
fermentation
__ is the loss of H+ ions
oxidation
__ is the gaining of H+ electrons
reduction
__ is the removal of 2 H+ atoms
dehydrogenation
__ is part of a carboxyl group
decarboxylations
__ is transferred directly from an organic molecule to ADP (everywhere except actyl COA and chemiosmosis)
substrate level phosphorylation
__ transfers to ADP is due indirectly to oxidation of NADH and FADH2 directly to chemiosmosis
oxidative phosphorylation
__ free energy is captured and goes from ADP to ATP
endogonic
