Q

whats the most common carbohydrate used

25
what are the 2 common ways glucose is catabolized
cellular repiration fermentation
26
steps of respiration
glycolysis to citric acid cylce to etc
27
steps of fermentation
glycolysis to the process to form end-products
28
what does glycolysis do
splits a 6 Carbon glucose into two 3 Carbon sugar molecules
29
where does glycolysis occur
in the cytoplasm of most cells
30
what is substrate level phosphorylation
the direct transfer of phosphate between two substancesn
31
net gain or glycolysis
2 ATP 2 molecules NADH precursor metabolite pyruvic acid
32
example of aerobic respiration in prokaryotes
mycobacterium tuberculosis
33
cellular respiration is all about what
the electrons
34
ETC
electron transport chain
35
what does the citric acid cycle produce
2 ATP 2FADH2 2NADH 4 CO2 so . electron shufflers and a little ATP
36
Electron Transport chain significance?
is a significant ATP production
37
what is the etc a series of
a series of redox reactions
38
what do carrier molecules do in ETC
they pass electrons from one to another to the final electron acceptor
39
where is the ETC located in prokaryotes
in the cytoplasmic membrane
40
where is the ETC located in eukaryotes
in the inner mitochondrial membrane
41
final electron acceptor of ETC in aerobic
O2 oxygen
42
Final electron acceptor of ETC in anaerobic
NO3- , SO4 2- , CO3 2- , or extremely acquired organic molecule
43
carbohydrate catabolism is what
like catabolizing glucose
44
are there one or many ways to catabolize glucose
many
45
2 ways to catabolize glucose
1. entner-doudoroff (ED) pathway 2. pentose phosphate pathway
46
Entner doudoroff pathway info
produces 1 ATP, 1 NADH, and 1 NADPH zymomonas mobilis: industrial apps
47
Pentose phosphate pathway info
alternative to glycolysis (0 ATP), produces NADPH, precursors to nucleotides
48
what does Fermentation do
catablizes glucose
49
Fermentation . cells require what
constant source of NAD+ because glycolysis and citric acid cycle are insufficient
50
Fermentation. the partial oxidation of a metabolite is to do what
release energy
51
what is the final electron acceptor for fermentation
an organic molecule from within the cell
52
what does glycolysis produce
pyruvic acid
53
what can pyruvic acid be fermented to yield
lactic acid, ethanol, and others
54
potential molecules of atp produced in aerobic, anaerobic, and fermentation per glucose molecule
Aerobic ( 38 in prok) (36 in euk) Anaerobic (4-36) Fermentation is 2
55
energy source for photosynthesis
light
56
photosynthsis synthesizing
synthesizes carbohydrates from CO2 to H2O
57
who all uses photosynthesis
algae, plants, cyanobacteria
58
gluconeogenisis is what
basically the invert of glycolysis, anabolic builds glucose and complex carbs
