Q

glycolysis -1 glucose + 2 ATP —>

A

2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 NADH (net gain 2 ATP)

28
Q

alcohol fermentation

A

certain cells convert pyruvic acid/pyruvate from glycolysis into ethyl alcohol and CO2 in the absence of oxygen

29
Q

The bread baking industry depends on the

A

ability of yeast to carry out fermentation and produce the CO2 that causes bread to rise

30
Q

The beer, wine, and liquor industries depend on

A

yeast to ferment sugar into ethyl alcohol

31
Q

Lactic acid fermentation

A

occurs during strenuous exercise when the body cannot keep up with the increased demand for oxygen by skeletal muscles

32
Q

What causes fatigue and burning in one’s muscles?

A

pyruvic acid produced by glycolysis that converts to lactic acid that builds up in muscles

33
Q

What does the phrase “no pain, no gain” refer to?

A

pain caused by lactic acid buildup in skeletal muscles

34
Q

When an increase in blood flow restores proper oxygen levels

A

the muscle tissue reverts to the more efficient aerobic respiration and lactic acid is removed from the muscles

35
Q

Where is lactic acid carried?

A

the liver where it is converted back to pyruvic acid

36
Q

Aerobic respiration consists of 3 processes:

A

glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain

37
Q

The krebs cycle is also known as

A

the citric acid cycle

38
Q

The krebs cycle is the

A

first stage of the aerobic phase of cellular respiration

39
Q

Pyruvic acid (from glycolysis) combines with coenzyme A (a vitamin derivative)

A

to form Acetyl-CoA , which enters the Krebs cycle

40
Q

Each turn of the Krebs cycle produces 1 molecule of

A

both ATP and FADH2 plus 3 molecules of NADH

41
Q

What is the by-product of the Krebs cycle?

A

CO2 (which is exhaled)

42
Q

In summary, the Krebs cycle produces

A
  • a small amount of ATP
  • carbon dioxide
  • NADH and FADH2
43
Q

What are NADH and FADH2 molecules?

A

coenzymes that shuttle protons and electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to the ETC

44
Q

NAD+ is

NADH is

A

oxidized form

reduce form

45
Q

FAD+ is

FADH2 is

A

oxidized form

reduced form

46
Q

NAD and FAD carry

A

H+ (protons) from the Krebs cycle to the ETC

47
Q

Each ETC consists of a

A

series of carrier proteins that transport high energy electrons from the Krebs cycle

48
Q

The energy from these high energy electrons is coupled with/powers the

A

pumping of protons across the cristae membrane in the outer compartment in order to create a proton gradient

49
Q

The potential energy in this proton gradient is then used to

A

produce ATP through a process called chemiosmosis

50
Q

Chemiosmosis is also called

A

oxidative phosphorylation

51
Q

Almost all the ATP produced during aerobic cell respiration is

A

produced by chemiosmosis

52
Q

The ETC produces

A

a proton gradient

53
Q

The gradient represents

A

stored or potential energy that can be used to do work

54
Q

chemiosmosis uses the stored energy in the proton gradient to

A

convert ADP into ATP

55
Q

Chemiosmosis uses the energy stored in the proton gradient to

A

power the synthesis of ATP

56
Q

What does chemiosmosis depend on?

A

a very special molecule located within the cristae membrane called ATP synthetase

57
Q

What is ATP synthetase?

A

a proton channel structure that can spin like a turbine

58
Q

What happens as protons pour through the ATP synthetase channel?

A

part of the molecule turns and attaches phosphates to ADP molecules, forming molecules of ATP

59
Q

oxygen has a strong attraction for

A

electrons and protons

60
Q

What is oxygen’s role in the chemiosmosis?

A
  • it pulls the electrons through the ETC

- serves as the final electron/proton acceptor in the ETC

61
Q

When oxygen combines with protons and electrons at the end of the ETC

A

water is formed as a waste product, this is the water vapor we constantly exhale

62
Q

Every mitochondrian contains

A

1000s of ETCs

63
Q

The ETC carries electrons through a series of

A

redox reactions as special molecules bind to and let go of electrons

64
Q

Protons cannot diffuse directly through the cristae membrane but can only cross through

A

ATP synthetase channels

65
Q

During respiration, most energy flows in this sequence

A

glucose –> NAD and FAD –> ETC (chemiosmosis) –> ATP
