Chapter 7 Bio Exam 2 Flashcards
Autotrophs convert ________ energy into ______ energy
radiant (solar); chemical
how do heterotrophs gain energy?
live off of energy produced by autotrophs
Cellular respiration is the
collection of metabolic reactions that break down food molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP
What is aerobic respiration?
forms of cellular respiration in eukaryotes and many prokaryotes
oxygen is a reactant in the ATP producing process
What is anaerobic respiration?
form of cellular respiration in some prokaryotes
molecule other than oxygen (sulfate or nitrate) used in the ATP producing process
Oxygen is released during photosynthesis from….
water
cellular respiration includes
glucose, adp+p to form atp, and O2 to make H2O and CO2
what is the goal of cellular respiration?
to produce ATP
how is energy released from oxidation reactions
in the form of electrons
what are the 3 types of respiration
aerobic
anaerobic
fermentation
in aerobic respiration the final electron acceptor is
oxygen in atp producing process
in anaerobic respiration the final electron acceptor is
an inorganic molecule
in fermentation the final electron acceptor is
an organic molecule
electrons _______ energy as they go from donor molecule to acceptor molecule in redox rxns
release
ATP is generated by…
the transfer of electrons from one energy level to another
Where do electron carriers move
within the membrane
Dehydrogenase enzymes facilitate transfer electrons from a _____ molecule to a molecule that acts as _________
fuel; an electron carrier
In cellular respirartion dehydrogenases transfer how many electrons and proton to NAD+
two electrons and one proton
What is the most common electron carrier
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)
NAD+ is the oxidized form. What is the reduced?
NADH
