Chapter 7- notes 7-2 Flashcards
Mitochondrial matrix
The space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria
Krebs cycle
A biochemical pathway that breaks down acetyl coA
producing CO2 hydrogen Adams in ATP
The breakdown product of glucose that diffuses into the mitochondrial matrix for further breakdown is
Pyruvic acid
The Krebs cycle
Produces two molecules of CO2
The electron transport chain of aerobic respiration
Pumps protons into the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membrane’s
With reactions of aerobic reactions occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane
Electron transport chain
What is the equation for the complete oxidation of glucose in the aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
Aerobic respiration
The process of reducing cellular energy involving oxygen
