Ch. 8: How Cells Make ATP: Energy-Releasing Pathways Flashcards
__ has 2 complementary components
metabolism
__ uses energy to go from big to small (broken down into smaller parts)
- cellular respiration
catabolic
__ uses energy to go from small to big
- photosynthesis
anabolic
__ pathways release free energy captured by the cell
- is catabolic
exergonic
__ is a catabolic process that requires energy/oxygen and coverts energy in chemical bonds of nutrients to chemical energy stored in ATP
aerobic cellular respiration
__ is just glycolysis (breaking down of sugar)
fermentation
__ is the loss of e-
oxidation
__ gaining of e-
- nad+ –> nadh
- nad+ is a e- transporter = nadh
reduction
in a __ glucose becomes oxidized and oxygen becomes reduced
redox reaction
1 glycolysis
2 formation of acetyl coenzyme a
3 citric acid cycle; kreb cycle
4 electron transport chain/chemiosmosis
4 stages of aerobic respiration
__ is the energy-converting site for cellular respiration
- where everything takes place
- has 2 membranes (inner/outer)
mitochondria
__ the removal of e-
dehydrogenation
__ removal of part of a carboxyl (co2) group
decarboxylation
__ transfer/adding of a phosphate group
- ATP –> ADP + P1`
- 2 types: substrate/oxidative
phosphorylation
_- metabolizes the 6-carb sugar into two 3-carb molecules
- no oxygen
- net yield = 2 atp and 2nadh molecules
- two major phases
- endergonic = needs atp
- exergonic = yields atp and nadh
glycolysis
