Two Functions of Cellular Respiration
How living things get energy out of organic molecules
Convert one type of organic molecule to another.
Two chemical reactions that involve the gain or loss of electrons from atoms
Oxidation
Reduction
Oxidation is the:
a) gaining of electrons
b) loss of electrons
c) Oxygen electrons
b
Reduction is the:
a) gaining of electrons
b) loss of electrons
c) Weight loss in atom
a
What is happening in this equation:
What is being reduced
What is being oxidized
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —-> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy
Oxidation of Glucose
Reduced: Oxygen
Oxidized: Glucose
To make the release of energy useful what happens:
(Three steps)
- Electrons gradually removed from organic molecules
- Energy in individual electrons is gradually reduced
- Energy is converted to a useful form (ATP)
What percent of energy released from cellular respiration is stored in ATP:
a) 30%
b) 60%
c) 40%
c
What is the remainder of energy released in cellular respiration converted to?
Heat
Three stages of aerobic respiration
Glycolysis
Krebs Cycle
Electron transport chain
Chemiosmosis
What organelle hosts the Krebs cycle and chemiosmosis
Mitochondrion
What is the proper order for the stages of aerobic respiration:
a) Chemiosmosis-Glycolysis-Krebs cycle
b)Krebs cycle-Chemiosmosis-Glycolysis
c)Glycolysis-Krebs cycle-Electron transport chain
d) Glycolysis-Krebs cycle- Electron transport chain and Chemiosmosis
d
What are used to transport electrons from one place to another
NAD+ & NADH
FAD & FADH2
What is released from NADH in its oxidation to NAD +
2 electrons
1 H+
What is the oxidized from of the electron carrier NAD+ or NADH
NAD+
What is the reduced from of the electron carrier NAD+ or NADH
NADH
What is released in the reduction of NAD+
2 electrons
1 H+
Which is the Oxidized form: FAD or FADH2
FAD
Which is the reduced form: FAD or FADH2
FADH2
What is added to FAD to reduce it
2 Electrons
2 H+
What is lost by FADH2 in its reduction
2 electrons
2 H+
What is the sight of cellular respiration
Mitochondria
What process creates most of the ATP
Chemiosmosis
T or F:
Electron transport chain is a series of proteins on a membrane
True
5 points of the Electron transport chain
- a series of proteins on a membrane
- Accepts electrons from electron carriers
- Reduces the energy of electrons
- Energy from the electrons is used to actively transport H+ across the membrane
- Oxygen is final electron acceptor
What creates the H+ gradient and what form of energy is the gradient
electron transport chain
potential energy
What does the H+ cross the membrane through and what is the name of the vehicle it uses
enzyme
ATP synthase
The kinetic energy in the movement of H+ is converted to what other form of energy in ATP
Potential Energy
