chapter 4 test Flashcards
goal of cellular respiration
to release energy as ATP from the chemical bonds of glucose to sustain the cell
goal of photosynthesis
to harness energy from the sunlight and store it in chemical bonds of glucose
what does cellular respiration
all living things
what does photosynthesis
plants, algae, cyan bacteria
steps of cellular respiration
glycolysis, oxidation of pyruvate, kreb cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
steps of photosynthesis
light dependent, light independent
how does the ATP synthase work
it uses facilitated diffusion and the H+ ion concentration gradient
aerobic vs. anaerobic
aerobic requires oxygen, anaerobic does not require oxygen
lactic acid fermentation
occurs in muscles due to lack of oxygen, regenerates NADH+, uses 2 pyruvic acid
cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy(ATP) (reverse is equation for photosynthesis)
4 biomolecules and their roles
carbohydrates (quick energy), lipids (store energy)
proteins (enzymes)
nucleic acids (store genetic info in DNA)
glycolysis
-takes place in cytoplasm
-does not require oxygen
-requires 2 ATP
-uses 1 glucose
-it makes 2 peruvic acid, 4 ATP
and 2 NADH
oxidation of pyruvate
-takes place in mitochondrial matrix
-requires oxygen
-beginning substance: 2 peruvic acid and CoA (Coenzyme A)
-makes: 2 acetyl CoA, 2 Carbon Dioxide, 2 NADH
krebs Cycle
-happens in mitochondrial matrix
-requires oxygen
-beginning substance: 2 acetyl CoA, 4 carbon oxaloacetate
-makes: 4 CO2, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2
oxidative phosphorylation
-happens in mitochondrial matrix
-requires oxygen
-beginning substance: NADH, FADH2, protein complexes I-IV, H+ ions, Cytochrom C, coenzyme Q
-makes: 26-28ATP, H2O, NAD+, FAD
