Chaper 7 Flashcards
Where in the cell does glycolysis occur? Is any oxygen required?
Cytoplasm, no.
Name for “how” ATP is generated in glycolysis?
Substrate-level phosphorylation [no oxygen involved]
What is the initial substrate for glycolysis? How many carbons?
Glucose, 6 carbons [hexos].
How much ATP needs to be invested in order to start glycolysis?
2 ATP.
Phase 1 for glycolysis is called?
Energy investment [we invest 2 ATP to start glycolysis].
Phase 2 for glycolysis is called?
Cleavage, this is because we are splitting 6 Carbons into 2 pyruvate [each pyruvate has 3 carbons].
Phase 3 in glycolysis is called?
Energy liberation.
What happens in phase 3 of glycolysis specifically?
2 NADH and 4 ATP are formed. [2 ATP are used to start glycolysis, so in reality we only gained 2 ATP].
What is the final product of glycolysis and the amounts?
2 pyruvate, 2 NADH, 2 ATP.
In order to enter the Kreb cycle from glycolysis, we need to?
Convert the 2 pyruvate into 2 acetyl-CoA.
We need to invest ……. In the process of converting the 2 pyruvate into……
2 NAD, 2 Acteyl-CoA.
What ends up coming out after converting the 2 pyruvate into Acteyl-CoA?
2 NADH
2 CO2
Where does the Kreb cycle occur?
Mitochondria [mitochondrial matrix].
Gas and the amount that comes out after “total spins” of the Kreb cycle?
4 CO2.
How many spins happens during the Kreb cycle?
- 1 spin for each pyruvate. Since there are 2 pyruvate, there will be 2 spins.
What are the energy intermediates and amounts, that come out after “total spins” of the kreb cycle?
6 NADH
2 FADH
2 ATP
[4 CO2 came out as well, but is not an energy intermediate].
What fuels the Electron Transport Chain?
The energy intermediates that came out of the kreb cycle.
6 NADH
2 FADH
2 ATP
Where are the hydrogen ions concentrated in the Electron Transport Chain?
Intermembrane space of Mitochondria.
