Q

whats the most common carbohydrate used

A

glucose

25
Q

what are the 2 common ways glucose is catabolized

A

cellular repiration
fermentation

26
Q

steps of respiration

A

glycolysis to citric acid cylce to etc

27
Q

steps of fermentation

A

glycolysis to the process to form end-products

28
Q

what does glycolysis do

A

splits a 6 Carbon glucose into two 3 Carbon sugar molecules

29
Q

where does glycolysis occur

A

in the cytoplasm of most cells

30
Q

what is substrate level phosphorylation

A

the direct transfer of phosphate between two substancesn

31
Q

net gain or glycolysis

A

2 ATP
2 molecules NADH
precursor metabolite pyruvic acid

32
Q

example of aerobic respiration in prokaryotes

A

mycobacterium tuberculosis

33
Q

cellular respiration is all about what

A

the electrons

34
Q

ETC

A

electron transport chain

35
Q

what does the citric acid cycle produce

A

2 ATP
2FADH2
2NADH
4 CO2

so . electron shufflers and a little ATP

36
Q

Electron Transport chain significance?

A

is a significant ATP production

37
Q

what is the etc a series of

A

a series of redox reactions

38
Q

what do carrier molecules do in ETC

A

they pass electrons from one to another to the final electron acceptor

39
Q

where is the ETC located in prokaryotes

A

in the cytoplasmic membrane

40
Q

where is the ETC located in eukaryotes

A

in the inner mitochondrial membrane

41
Q

final electron acceptor of ETC in aerobic

A

O2 oxygen

42
Q

Final electron acceptor of ETC in anaerobic

A

NO3- , SO4 2- , CO3 2- , or extremely acquired organic molecule

43
Q

carbohydrate catabolism is what

A

like catabolizing glucose

44
Q

are there one or many ways to catabolize glucose

A

many

45
Q

2 ways to catabolize glucose

A
  1. entner-doudoroff (ED) pathway
  2. pentose phosphate pathway
46
Q

Entner doudoroff pathway info

A

produces 1 ATP, 1 NADH, and 1 NADPH
zymomonas mobilis: industrial apps

47
Q

Pentose phosphate pathway info

A

alternative to glycolysis (0 ATP), produces NADPH, precursors to nucleotides

48
Q

what does Fermentation do

A

catablizes glucose

49
Q

Fermentation . cells require what

A

constant source of NAD+
because glycolysis and citric acid cycle are insufficient

50
Q

Fermentation. the partial oxidation of a metabolite is to do what

A

release energy

51
Q

what is the final electron acceptor for fermentation

A

an organic molecule from within the cell

52
Q

what does glycolysis produce

A

pyruvic acid

53
Q

what can pyruvic acid be fermented to yield

A

lactic acid, ethanol, and others

54
Q

potential molecules of atp produced in aerobic, anaerobic, and fermentation per glucose molecule

A

Aerobic ( 38 in prok) (36 in euk)
Anaerobic (4-36)
Fermentation is 2

55
Q

energy source for photosynthesis

A

light

56
Q

photosynthsis synthesizing

A

synthesizes carbohydrates from CO2 to H2O

57
Q

who all uses photosynthesis

A

algae, plants, cyanobacteria

58
Q

gluconeogenisis is what

A

basically the invert of glycolysis,
anabolic
builds glucose and complex carbs
