Chapter 07 Celluar Respiration Flashcards
What is Autotrophs ?
Able to produce their own organic molecules through photosynthesis ( plants)
What kind Organisms can be classified based on how they obtain energy:
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
What is Heterotrophs ?
Live on organic compounds produced by organisms ( animals )
Cellular respiration is ?
A series of reactions,
• oxidized
• reduced
• dehydrogenation
Oxidized ?
Loss of electrons
Reduced ?
Gain of electron
Dehydrogenation ?
Lost of electrons are accompanied by Protons
NAD+ accepts ?
2 electrons and 1 proton
In a Aerobic respiration
The final electron receptor is oxygen
In an Anaerobic ?
Final electron acceptor is inorganic molecule ( not O2 )
In Fermentation
The final electron acceptor is an organic molecule ( contains carbon)
There are two mechanisms for synthesis ?
Substrate-level phosphorylation and Oxidative phosphorylation
There are four stages of oxidation of glucose what are they?
Glycolysis, Pyruvate oxidation , Krebs cycle , electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
During Glycolysis, it converts 1 glucose Into what ? And where does it occur?
2 pyruvate and occurs In cytoplasm
Electron transport chain is a series of
Membrane – bound electron carriers
