chapter 8 pt 2 Flashcards
oxidative phsosphorylation
redox reactions during respuration pathway
photophosphorylation
atp is formed utilizing the energy of sunlight
fermentation happens from
facultative anaerobes
nutrient processing is based on?
three catabolic pathways that convert glucose to CO 2 and gives off energy
-aerobic respiration
-anaerobic respiration
-fermentation
aerobic respiration
glycolysis, krebs cycle, respiration chain
-enzyme catalyzed reactions where electrons are transferred from fuel molecules (glucose) to oxygen as a final electron acceptor
anaerobic respiration
glycolysis, krebs cycle, respiration chain, molecular oxygen is NOT the final electron acceptor
fermentation
glycolysis and organic compounds are the final electron acceptors
glycolysis
glucose is oxidized and split into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (3c) and NADH is generated
-happens in cytoplasm of prokaryotes and eukaryotes
glucose
6 carbon sugar
TCA
processes pyruvic acid and generates 3 carbon dioxide molecules, NADH, and FADH2
electron transport chain
accepts electrons from NADH and FADH
-generates energy through sequential redox reactions called oxidative phosphorylation
result of glycolysis
-2 atp
-2 nadh
-2 pyruvic acid
ETC
final processing of electrons and hydrogen
-major generator of ATP
-chain of redox carriers that get electrons from the reduced carriers (NADH and FADH2)
where is the ETC
-mitochondria of eukaryotes
-cell membrane of prokaryotes
what moves electrons down the chain?
ETS
-energy is released and then captures to be used by ATP synthase complexes to make ATP
