25
what is the function of ATP synthase?
uses a proton gradient(H+) to produce atp from adp and pi
26
what are the five steps of glucose oxidation?
1.Glycolysis (cytosol) In mitochondria 2. pyruvate oxidation 3. Krebs cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain 5. Chemiosmosis (ATP synthase and H+ gradient)
27
what does glycolysis do?
converts glucose to 2 pyruvates
28
what is glycolysis?
-a 10-step biochemical pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm
29
how are 2 ATP molecules produced in glycolysis?
substrate level phosphorylation and 2 NADH by reduction of NAD+
30
what does each NADH produced in glycolysis translate to?
3 atps being made by atp synthase by the electron transport chain
31
what must happen for glycolysis to continue?
NADH must be regenerated to NAD+ by either fermentation or aerobic respiration
32
what is aerobic respiration?
uses O2 as the final electron/H+ acceptor forming metabolic water
33
what does aerobic respiration form?
metabolic water
34
what is fermentation?
uses an organic molecule as the final electron/H+ acceptor forming a reduced organic molecule. (ETOH or Lactate)
35
what does fermentation produce?
a reduced organic molecule (EOTC or Lactate)
36
what does the fate of private depend on?
O2 availability
37
what is the fate of private when O2 is present?
pyruvate is oxidized in the matrix of the mitochondria to acetyl-CoA, which then enters the Krebs cycle.
38
when O2 is present, where does pyruvate oxidation occur in eukaryotes?
in the mitochondrial matrix
39
what is the fate of pyruvate without O2?
pyruvate remains in the cytosol and is reduced in order to oxidize NADH back to NAD+
40
what catalyzes pyruvate oxidation in the mitochondria?
pyruvate dehydrogenase
41
when O2 is present, where does pyruvate oxidation occur in prokaryotes?
in the cell membrane
42
what are the products of pyruvate oxidation?
1 CO2 -1 NADH -1 acetyl-CoA (2 carbons from pyruvate attached to coenzyme A)
43
what composes acetyl-CoA?
2 carbons from pyruvate attached to coenzyme A
44
where does acetyl-CoA go after pyruvate oxidation?
the krebs cycle
45
what is the krebs cycle?
a nine step biochemical pathway that brings in acetyl-CoA
46
what is the purpose of biological cycles?
to provide a carbon-based molecular scaffold upon which other molecules can be attached, then degraded or built, with the end result being the return of the original scaffold molecule
47
What comes out of the Krebs Cycle?
-release 2 molecules of CO2 -reduce 3 NAD+ to 3 NADH -reduce 1 FAD to FADH2 -produce 1 ATP from ADP + Pi via substrate-level phosphorylation -regenerate the scaffold oxaloacetate so that cycle can continue
