19
Q

what are the products of the citric acid cycle

A

NADH and FADH2 (electron carriers)

20
Q

how many times does the citric acid cycle occur

A

runs two times for each glucose

21
Q

what do 2 turns of the citric acid cycle produce per glucose

A
  • 6 CO2
  • 4 ATP
  • 10 NADH
  • 2 FADH2
22
Q

how is the citric acid cycle regulated

A
  • different mechanisms of feedback inhibition can turn off the citric acid cycle
  • reaction rates higher when ATP and NADH are scarce
  • reaction rates are lower when ATP or NADH is abundant
23
Q

where does the citricmit acid cycle occur

A

mitochondria

24
Q

electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation

A

main production of ATP through eceltron transport chain and chemiosmosis

25
where does the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation occur
inner mitochondrial membrane
26
what is oxidative phosphorylation paired with
ETC - formed by carrier molecules - pass electrons from carrier to carrier and release energy
27
chemiosmosis
movement of ions down an electrochemical gradient - drive ATP synthase
28
what is the endpoint of electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
ATP synthase
29
what is the purpose of oxygen at the end of the ETC
- electron acceptor - gives electrons somewhere to go after the end of the process - oxygen gained a much of electron and is reduced to become H2O
30
what goes in and comes out of the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
- goes in: electron carriers and oxygen -comes out: ATP and H2O
31
ATP synthase
enzyme that synthesizes ATP - protons move through a proton channel
32
oxidative phosphorylation
movement of protons - most of ATP made during cellular respiration is made during this process
33
what organisms use aerobic respiration
all eukaryotes and many prokaryotes
34
what organisms use anaerobic respiration
some prokaryotes that are in oxygen poor environments
35
what is the most effective electron acceptor
oxygen - highly electronegative
36
what happens when thre is no electron acceptor
- electrons have no place to go - ETC stops - NADH builds up and there is no NAD+ available to accept electrons
37
fermentation
- damage control - stops with pyruvate processing - metabolic pathway that regenerates NAD+ from NADH
38
how much ATP does fermentation produce
2 ATP per glucose
39
how much ATP is produced from cellular respiration
29 ATP per glucose
40
what are organism called that can switch between fermentation and aerobic respiration
facultative anaerobes - respond to their environment - use only when electron acceptor is not available
41
catabolic pathways
break molecules down and tap into energy stored in those molecules
42
anabolic pathways
- use ATP to put molecules together - synthesis of larger molecules from smaller components
43
what moves pyruvate into mitochondria
transport proteins
44
what is ATP synthase structure similar to
rotor
45
what is the difference between energy investment phase and energy payoff phase
energy investment is the initial start and consumes 2 ATP and in energy payoff phase 2 ATP molecules and 1 NADH moleucle
46
proton motive force
separation of positive H+ on outside of cell and OH- on inside of cell - stores potential energy
