CHAPTER 7.2-7.3 Flashcards
AEROBIC RESPIRATION
- series of rx that converts glucose to CO2 that allows the cell to recover energy
- final electron acceptor: O2
- produces large amount of atp (36)
- in bacteria, fungi, protozoa and animals
ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION
-metabolic strategy used by many microorganisms
- final ea: NO3-, SO4.2-, CO3.3- and other oxidized compounds
- produces 2-36 ATP
FERMENTATION
- adaptation used by facultative and aerotolerant anaerobes to incompletely oxidize glucose
- final ea: organic compounds
-2 ATP
Glucose as an energy source:
- primary fuel for most cells. simple sugar that when broken down provides energy
- ATP production
- metabolic importance
Glycolysis
process that breaks down one glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate, with a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules
first enzyme in glycolysis is ______________
glucokinase
glucokinase
phosphorylates glucose to form glucose 6 phosphate
what kind of cells can do glycolysis?
ALL CELLS
where does glycolysis occur?
in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
why is glucose only broken down in glycolysis
glucose fits the enzyme glucokinase and other sugars have to be converted into forms that can enter the pathway
glucose is a ___ carbon sugar and pyruvate is a ___ carbon sugar
6;3
carbons are _______ in glycolysis
conserved
glycolysis requires energy from ________ to start the reaction and _______
2 ATP
break the 6 carbon into two 3 carbon molecules
ATP/NADH from glycolysis
gross: 4 ATP and 2 NADH
net: 2 ATP and 2 NADH
ATP/NADH from Krebs
gross: 2 ATP 6 NADH 2 FADH2
net: 2 ATP 6 NADH 2 FADH2
