chapter 8 Flashcards
exam 1
metabolism
all chemical reactions that occur within a cell
2 parts of metabolsim
catabolism
anabolism
catabolism
breaking down of larger molecules into smaller molecules
release energy
EXERGONIC
anabolism
building up smaller molecules into larger molecules
requires energy
ENDERGONIC
exergonic reaction
release of energy during a reaction
endergonic reaction
requires energy during a reaction
oxidation
donor will lose electrons leaving them oxidized
increase negative charge
reduction
acceptor will gain electrons
make it more positive charge
redox reactions
oxidation and reduction occur in tandem
most common energy carries
NADH
FADH2
mobile electron carriers
molecules that bind to and shuttle high energy electrons between compounds in pathways
what vitamin groups are usual electron carriers
vitamin b groups
NADH
reduction
gaining electrons
NAD+
oxidation
loss of electrons
FAD
lose electrons
oxidation
FADH2
gain electrons reduced
phosphorylation
is the process of adding a phosphate group
is phosphorylation endergonic or exergonic
endergonic reaction : require energy
dephosphorylation
removal of a phosphate group
is dephosphorylation endergonic or exergonic
exergonic reaction : release energy
are phosphate groups positively or negatively charged
negatively charged
what kind of bond is between phosphate groups
high energy bond
highly unstable bc like charges repel
name for smaller molecule from catabolic reactions
catabolites
main difference between cofactor and coenzyme
conenzyme : organic molecules
cofactor : inorganic molecules
phototrophy
receive electron energy from sunlight
chemotrophy
receive electron energy from chemicals
organotrophy, aerobic (heterotroph)
organic molecules donates electrons to O2
organotrophy, anaerobic
organic molecules donate electrons to themselves or other molecule that isnt O2
lithotrophy, aerobic (autotroph)
inorganic molecules donate electrons to O2
lithotrophy anaerobic
inorganic molecules donate electrons to themself or to other molecule that isnt O2
enzymes
lower activation energy of a chemical reaction
Glycolysis yield what
break down of single glucose molecule
2 ATP
2 NADH
2 pyruvate
energy investment phase
2 ATP hydrolyzed for phosphorylation of glucose, becomes glucose 6-p
glycolysis
glucose
glucose- 6 phosphate
fructose 6 phosphate
fructose 1,6 biphosphate
glyceraldehyde 3 phospate
energy payoff phase
2 glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate lose electrons to NAD+ which will become NADH
krebs cycle
2 pyruvate are dexcarboxilized by pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme to form acetyl which is then reacted w coenzyme a to form acetyl CoA
how many ATP at the end of kreb
2 ATP
how many ATP at the end of ETC
34 ATP
10 NADH x 3 = 30 ATP
2 FADH x 2 = 4 ATP
1 nadh = 3 atp
1 fadh = 2 atp
