Ch 9 Respiration & Fermentation Exam 3 Flashcards
Cellular Respiration
-reactions that uses electrons harvested from high-energy molecules to produce ATP
-with oxygen
Fermentation
-metabolic pathway that include glycolysis and an additional set of reactions that oxidize stockpiles of NADH to generate NAD+
-without oxygen
Catabolic
-breaking down molecules to feed into respiration
Anabolic
-stealing molecules from respiration to build macromolecules
Cellular Homeostasis
-result of anabolic
Redox Reactions
-loss or gain of electrons
Glycolysis
-glucose is broken down into pyruvate
-ATP and NADH are produced
Pyruvate Processing
-releases CO2 while forming Acetyl CoA
-ATP and NADH are produced
Citric Acid Cycle
-acetyl CoA is oxidized to release CO2
-ATP, NADH, and FADH2 are produced
Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation
-electrons from NADH and FADH2 creates a proton gradient to make ATP
Phosphofructokinase
-transfers a phosphate from ATP to a molecule
Proton Pumps
-electrons are passed from one protein to the next in the chain
