24
Q

What affects your daily calorie intake?

A

25
Q

What is a redox reaction?

A

The transfer of electrons from one molecule to another

An oxidation-reduction reaction

26
Q

In a redox reaction, the loss of one or more electrons from a substance is called _____.

A

Oxidation

27
Q

In a redox reaction, the addition of electrons to another substance is called _____.

A

Reduction

28
Q

What is the important coenzyme used in oxidizing glucose?

A

The enzyme NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

29
Q

What does NAD+ do?

A

It accepts electrons, becoming REDUCED (reduction: adding electrons to a substance)

Shuttles electrons

30
Q

An enzyme called ______ strips _____ from the organic ______.

A

Dehydrogenase
Two hydrogen atoms
Food molecule

31
Q

Once hydrogenase removes 2 hydrogen atoms from the food molecule, what does it do?

A

Hydrogenase transfers two electrons and one proton to NAD+, reducing it to NADH.

The second proton is released into the surrounding solution.

32
Q

Once NAD+ is reduced to NADH, it carries the electrons and drops them off at the _______.

A

Electron transport chain

33
Q

The electron transport chain is composed of what?

A

Carrier molecules (mostly all proteins)

34
Q

At the end of the electron transport chain, what occurs?

A

An oxygen atom accepts two electrons, picks up 2H+, and is REDUCED to H2O

35
Q

What is released through the electron transport chain?

A

Controlled release of energy for ATP synthesis

36
Q

Glycolysis is the process of _____.

A

Oxidizing glucose through redox reactions (?)

37
Q

What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration?

A
  1. Glycolysis
  2. Pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle
  3. Oxidative phosphorylation
38
Q

Glycolysis basically does what?

A

Splits glucose into two molecules of a three carbon compound called pyruvate

39
Q

What is pyruvate?

A

The product of glycolysis, glucose broken down to form two molecules of a 3 carbon chain compound

40
Q

Where do pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle take place?

A

Within the mitochondria

41
Q

What does the citric acid cycle do?

A

Breaks down the rest of glucose, after pyruvate oxidation, to CO2

42
Q

In the _____ stage of cellular respiration, CO2 is formed through the _____ cycle in the _____.

A

Second
Citric acid cycle (process of breaking down glucose to form CO2)

Mitochondria

43
Q

What occurs to pyruvate exiting glycolysis, once it enters the mitochondria?

A

It is oxidized to a two carbon compound after which the citric acid cycle takes over

44
Q

A small amount of _____ produced during _____ and _____.

A

ATP
Glycolysis
Citric acid cycle

45
Q

A cell produces most of it’s _____ during _____.

A

Oxidative phosphorylation

46
Q

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

A

Occurring after the citric acid cycle, electrons are transported to an electron transport chain embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Oxidative phosphorylation captures the energy of the redox reactions occurring once NADH and FADH carry electrons to the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The electrons are eventually dropped off at O2, where two H+ atoms joins to form water.

47
Q

During oxidative phosphorylation, what does the electron transport chain ALSO do?

A

Pumps H+ ions across the intermembrane space resulting in a high concentration of H+ ions

48
Q

What is chemicals?

A

Creating ATP from the H+ rich concentration within the mitochondrial intermembrane space.

49
Q

Pyruvate itself does/does not enter the citric acid cycle?

A

Does not

50
Q

What actually enters the Citric Acid cycle (Krebs cycle)?

A

Two molecules of acetyl CoA

51
Q

How is pyruvate prepared to enter the Krebs cycle?

A

A carboxyl group (—COO-) is removed and given of as CO2

The two carbon pyruvate is oxidized

A molecule of NAD+ is reduced to NADH

The two carbon group then joins with a compound, coenzyme A (CoA), to form acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA)
