A

in the mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane space

42
Q

A

NADH (10), FADH2 (2), OXYGEN, and H+ ions

43
Q

what are the products of the ETC and chemiosmosis?

44
Q

are there any cofactors/coenzymes for the ETC ad chemiosmosis?

45
Q

how much ATP is made by the ETC and chemiosmosis?

A

approximately 30-38ish

46
Q

how is ATP made by the ETC and chemiosmosis?

A

47
Q

what makes up the ETC?

A

a series of enzymes and proteins

48
Q

what is the final electron acceptor?

49
Q

what happens to the NADH molecules as electrons are bounced down the ETC?

A

they are oxidized to NAD+

50
Q

where do the H+ ions move in the ETC, and why is this important?

A

from the matrix to the intermembrance space, building up a concentration gradient inside the intermembrane space

51
Q

how it ATP synthase powered?

A

the concentration gradient of the buildup of H+ ions

52
Q

what does ATP synthase do?

A

rotates and twists, transferring enough energy to squeeze an ADP + P together to make ATP (chemiosmosis) and shoots that ATP out of the mitochondria

53
Q

what is needed to begin cellular respiration?

A

1 molecule of glucose and 2 molecules of ATP

54
Q

what is the overall chemical formula for cellular respiration?

A

A

happens in the absence of oxygen

what happens to pyruvate after glycolysis in lactic acid fermentation?

A

NADH is oxidized to NAD+ and produces lactate and no additional ATP

60
Q

what happens to pyruvate after glycolysis in alcohol fermentation?

A

pyruvate produces CO2 as waste to make acetaldehyde, which makes ethanol by oxidizing NADH to NAD+ and no more additional ATP is made

61
Q

A

glycolysis

63
Q

where can fatty acids and some amino acids enter cellular respiration?

A

64
Q

where can come amino acids enter cellular respiration?

A

65
Q

how is cellular respiration regulated?

A

negative feedback

66
Q

how does negative feedback regulate cellular respiration?

A

some of the products inhibit some of the enzymes required for cellular respiration

67
Q

what does ADP activate?

A

an enzyme for glycolysis

68
Q

why is it important that ADP activates an enzyme for glycolysis?

A

because if there is only ADP detected, and not ATP, glycolysis will start again to produce more ATP for the cell to use

69
Q

what does ATP inhibit?

A

an enzyme for glycolysis (phosphofructokinase)

70
Q

why is it important that ATP inhibits an enzyme for glycolysis?

A

if too much ATP (or an adequate amount) is detected, the cell does not have to waste energy to make more energy

71
Q

how many enzymes does NADH inhibit?

72
Q

define phosphorylation

A

the addition of the phosphate (P) to ADP

73
Q

define substrate level phosphorylation

A

when ATP is regenerated from ADP through the removal of a phosphate group from an intermediate reactant in the pathway, and the free energy of that reaction is used to add the phosphate to an available ADP molecule

74
Q

what is the first half of glycolysis called?

A

energy requiring steps

75
Q

what is the second half of glycolysis called?

A

energy releasing steps

76
Q

what is the only part of cellular respiration that uses atmospheric oxygen?
