chap 7 Flashcards
ATP
Consists of adenine, ribose, and 3 triphosphate.
chemiosmosis
process in which there is a production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cellular metabolism by the involvement of a proton gradient across a membrane
citric acid cycle
series of enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells for extraction of energy from carbohydrates
glycolysis
process of breaking glucose into two three-carbon molecules with the production of ATP and NADH
anaerobic cellular respiration
process in which organisms convert energy for their use in the absence of oxygen
oxidative phosphorylation
production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis in the presence of oxygen
fermentation
process of regenerating NAD+ with either an inorganic or organic compound serving as the final electron acceptor; occurs in the absence of oxygen
Electron transport chain
located on the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
what is NAD/NADH
NAD goes to NADH with a hydrogen
What are the three stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Citric acid cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation
How many ATPS are produced?
There is about 28
What cellular respiration?
Generating ATP for cellular work through the breakdown of food is the main function of cellular respiration.
What is the first rection of cellular respiration?
It is a redox reaction
What are NAD/NADH(FAD/FADH) used for ?
There used to get the energy out of them
