Chapter 7 Flashcards
Begins the breakdown of glucose, is a series of ten enzyme- catalyzed chemical reactions that can be divided into two main phases
glycolysis
some ATP is used to start the process of glucose oxidation
by the end glucose has been split to 2 three carbon molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Energy Investment Phase
Energy Pay off Phase
chemical bonds are broken, and NAD+ picks up electrons and hydrogen ions forming NADH
the energy released is used to attach to phosphate groups
phosphates are transferred to ADP
For each glucose molecule broken down during glycolysis, a net ___ ATPs are formed along with ___ NADH molecules
two
two
Cellular Respiration
energy fuel is converted to ATP
Process of Glycolysis
1) takes place outside of the Mitochondria
2) energy is added and molecule is split into two
3) NAD+ picks up electrons and hydrogen atoms from NADH
4) some ATP is produced but not much
Acetyl CoA Formation
1) as the molecule enters the mitochondria, one carbon atom is removed forming CO2
2) electrons are stripped forming NADH
3) coenzyme A attaches to the 2-carbon fragment forming acetyl CoA
Citric Acid Cycle
1) coenzyme A is removed and the remaining 2-carbon skeleton is attached to 4-carbon molecule
2) the 6 carbon molecule is partially broken down, releasing carbon dioxide
3) 2ATPs are produced by the citric acid cycle for each molecule of glucose
Oxidative Phosphorylation
1) NADH delivers electrons to an electron transport chain embedded in the inner layer of the mitochondrion
2) electrons are transferred from one electron carrier to another in the electron chain
3) the energy released is used to pump hydrogen ions across the inner membrane creating a higher hydrogen ion concentration
4) hydrogen ions flow across the membrane through a turbine and the flow of hydrogen ions spins the turbine which activates the production of ATP
Equation for Aerobic Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2»_space;» 6 CO2+ 6H2O+ ATP
In glycolysis, glucose is turned into
pyruvate
Net yield of glycolysis
2 pyruvate
2 ATP molecules
2 NADH
Glycolysis Intermediate Step
1) pyruvate transported to mitochondria
2) in mitochondria, pyrvate converted to acetyl CoA
3) CO2 is released

Fermentation
Fermentation oxidizes ____ and regenerates ______ which can take part in glycolysis
NADH

Net energy gain in fermentation
2 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose
Fermentation allows
ATP to continually be produced in absence of oxygen
Alcohol Fermentation
occurs in yeast results in the production of ethanol and CO2
Lactic Acid Fermentation
occurs in muscle, results in the production of lactate ( lactic acid)
initiation of carbohydrate and lipid digestion; release water and glycoproteins called mucins
salivary glands
secretes molecules required for digestion of fats
liver
stores secretions from liver; empties into small intestine
gallbladder
secretes enzymes and other materials into small intestine
pancreas
where water is absorbed and feces is formed
large intestine
propels food particles through the esophagus to the stomach
peristalsis
Most of the chemical processing that occurs in the stomach is the digestion of _________ not carbs
proteins
The cell lining in the small intestine absorb the ______ that are broken down by ______________
sugars
pancreatic amylase
Nutrient absorption depends on the presence of an _______________ gradient that favors the influx of sodium ions into the epithelium of the small intestine
electrochemical
____ breaks down protein containing components of the food into individual proteins
HCL
HCL _________ proteins, which unfold and separate into long ____________
denature
polypeptides
secrete the inactive compound pepsinogen which is converted to the enzyme pepsin by contact with the acidic environment of the stomach
chief cells
Pepsin breaks _______ bonds, reducing the long polypeptides to ______ polypeptides
peptide
short
produced in the small intestine, activates the pancreatic enzyme trypsinogen, forming trypsin
enterokinase
Salivary glands produce _______ which begins to digest fats

In type 1 diabetes
beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed by the immune system and no insulin is produced
In type 2 diabetes
the pancreas produces insulin, but target cells do not take up the glucose creating an excess of glucose in the blood
process during which a substance will lose electrons and hydrogen
oxidation
process during which a substance will gain electrons and hydrogen
reduction
as a result of oxidation, the charge of a substance will become
positive
as a result of reduction, the charge of a substance will become
