Chapter 9 Flashcards
Acetyl CoA
important enzyme in the Krebs cycle, made from pyruvate oxidation
aerobic
using oxygen
alcoholic fermentation
produces 2 ethanol, 2 CO2 and 2 ATP
anaerobic
not using oxygen
anaerobic respiration
glucose catabolized in the absence of
oxygen
ATP Synthase
enzyme that synthesis ATP
cellular respiration
C 6 H12 O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2 O + 32 ATP
chemiosmosis
protons flow back across the membrane through
a channel protein, ATP synthase, which couples the diffusion with
ATP synthesis
fermentation
an anaerobic process that includes lactic acid or alcoholic fermentation
gluconeogenesis
glucose formed from citric acid cycle and glycolysis intermediates
glycolysis
the beginning of cellular respiration
lactic acid fermentation
produces 2 lactate and 2 ATP
oxidation
loss of electrons
oxidation reduction reaction
electrons transferred between two
molecules
oxidative phosphorylation
ATP is synthesized by reoxidation of
electron carriers in the presence of O2
