Q

In glycolysis, what happens to NAD+

A

It is reduced to NADH

21
Q

In glycolysis how many net ATP are made ?

A

2

22
Q

What happens to pyruvic acid before moving on to the Krebs cycle

A

Pyruvic acid is converted to acetyl CoA

23
Q

In addition to NAD+, what other electron carrier is reduced during the Krebs cycle

A

FAD is reduced to FADH2

24
Q

How many net ATP are made during the Krebs cycle

A

2 ATP

25
Q

What molecules produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle will bring electrons to the ETS ?

A

NADH and FADH2

26
Q

As the electrons are passed down the ETS, what happens to the hydrogen ions released NADH and fadh2 ?

A

The hydrogen ions are pumped across the membrane, creating a proton gradient

27
Q

What role does ATP synthase serve in ets

A

Flow of hydrogen ions

Synthesis of atp

28
Q

How does ATP production from the ETS compare to glycolysis and the Krebs cycle

A

Ets produces significantly more ATP compared to glycolysis and the Krebs cycle

29
Q

During aerobic respiration, what critical role does oxygen play ?

A

Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the ETs

30
Q

What would happen if a cell that used aerobic respiration was deprived of oxygen

A

Without oxygen, the ETS would stop, leading to a halt in ATP production, that would force the cell to rely on less efficient methods like fermentation

31
Q

How does anaerobic respiration differ from aerobic respiration

A

Anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen as it’s final electron receptor and typically produces less atp

32
Q

Is fermentation an aerobic or anaerobic

A

Anaerobic

33
Q

Which step of the cellular respiration does fermentation rely solely on

A

Glycolysis

34
Q

What happens to the pyruvic acid that is produced during fermentation

A

It is converted into lactic acid or ethanol

35
Q

What are the two most important types of compounds produced as result of fermentation

A

Lactic acid ethanol

36
Q

What is lipase

A

An enzyme that breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol

37
Q

What is proteases

A

An enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids

38
Q

Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds to make a polypeptide, this is an example of

A

Anabolism

39
Q

Is the frequency of collisions containing enough energy to bring about a reaction

A

Reaction rate

40

A

Apoenzyme

Cofactor

Holoenzyme

42
Q

The enzyme illustrated is most active at about pH

A

5.0

43
Q

Fill the active site of an enzyme and compete with the substrate

A

Competitive inhibitors

44
Q

Begins when when electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH2 made in glycolysis, the transition reaction, and the Krebs cycle through a series of chemical reactions to a final inorganic electron acceptor

A

Cellular respiration

45
Q

The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is molecular

A

Oxygen

46
Q

Releases energy from oxidation of organic molecules

Does not require oxygen

Does not use the Krebs cycle or ETS

Uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor

Produces small amounts of atp

A

Glucose is oxidized to pyruvic acid, which is then reduced by

A

NADH

48
Q

Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid

A

Fermentation

49
Q

Alcohol fermentation produces ethanol and co 2
