Chapter 7 Flashcards
cellular respiration
aerobic
with oxygen
more efficient more atp
cellular respiration
anaerobic
without oxygen
partial degradation
Exergonic
Change in G = negative
spontaneous
G reactants > G products
release energy
Endergonic
Change in G = positive
G reactants < G products
Require energy
Reduction
Reactant gains electron or H
Product lost oxygen
Reactant becomes “reduced”
Reactant acts like “oxidizing agent”
Oxidizes second reactant (donates electron or H)
Oxidation
Reactant looses e or H
Product gains oxygen
Reactant becomes “oxidized”
Reactant acts like “reducing agent”
Reduces first reactant (accepts electron or H)
OILRIG
Oxidation is loss
Reduction is gain
Combustion reaction
release tremendous energy
heat energy useful
partial oxidation/reduction
Partially oxidized/reduced
partial gain or lost e
covalent bonds
carbon in CH4
Oxygen in O2
redox
oxidation-reduction reactions
movement of electrons and H
most energy conserved with movement
electron transfer -> energy release
electrons may be “carried”
Uncontrolled
rocket fuel
change in G = very neg (exergonic)
explosive energy release
impossible to capture
Stepwise energy release
Cellular respiration
change in G = negative (exergonic)
release over multiple steps
each step = redox rxn
steps = stronger affinity to e
able to capture energy
stronger affinity = stronger oxidizer
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or NADH
electron carrier molecule
NAD+ + e= NADH
e form glucose
dehydrogenase (enzyme) moves H/e
carriers 2 e and 2 H (uses one H)
Flavin adenine nucleotide (FAD)
Flavin adenine nucleotide
(FAD)
electron carrier
electron transport chain
proteins in membrane
bottom step oxidizes top step
O2 terminal e acceptor
O2 highest e affinity
O2 “pulls” electron down chain
similar to gravity down hill
Cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (heat loss + usable energy)
Stages of cellular respiration
- Glycolysis
- Pyruvate Oxidation
- Citric acid cycle
- oxidative phosphorylation
Glycolysis Overview
Glucose broken down to pyruvate, producing ATP and reduced electron carriers
Pyruvate Oxidation Overview
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-coA producing reduced electron carriers, and CO2
Citric acid cycle Overview
acetyl-coa enters the cycle, producing ATP, reduced electron carriers, and CO2
Oxidative Phosphorylation Overview
Reduced electron carriers donate e to electron transport chain, leads to ATP synthesis
Energy in ATP
7.3 kcal/mol
