chapter 9 Flashcards
where do living cells get their energy
outside sources
what are the two ways animals obtain their energy
- eating plants
- feed on other organisms that eat plants
energy flows into an ecosystem as blank and leaves as blank
sunlight, heat
what does photosynthesis release
oxygen and organic molecles
what type of energy do cells use to regenerate ATP and where is that energy stored
chemical energy, it is stored in organic molecules
how do catabolic pathways yield energy
by oxidizing organic fuels
what does exergonic mean
the breakdown of organic molecules
describe fermintation
a partial degradation of sugars that occurs without O2
does fermentation or aerobic respiration produce more ATP
aerobic respiration
what is aerobic respiration
consumes organic molecules and O2 and produces ATP
what is anaerobic respiration
consumes compound other than O2
what does aerobic respiration need to complete its whole cycle
oxygen
cellular respiration includes both
aerobic and anaerobic respiration
what is cellular respiration often used to refer to
aerobic respiration
what are three things that are consumed as fuel
carbohydrates, fats, and protiens
what is helpful to trace cellular respiration
the sugar glucose
what does the transfer of electrons during chemical reactions release
energy stored in organic molecules
the energy stored in organic molecules is the released energy used for what
synthesize ATP (make)
Oxidation blank electrons, reduction blank electrons
loses, gains
what is an abbreviation for oxidation and reduction
LEO says GER (lose electrons oxidation, gaining electrons reduction)
what does redox reactions mean and or oxidation-reduction reactions
chemical reactions that transfer electrons between reactants
what is oxidation and or being oxidized
when a substance loses its electrons (becomes more positive)
what happens in reduction
a substance gains electrons, (there is less positive charge)
what is a reducing agent
electron donor
what is a oxidizing agent
electron receptor (takes in the election)
if a redox reaction does not transfer electrons what could it do
change the electron sharing covalent bonds
in cellular respiration what is oxidized and what is reduced
the field, such as glucose, is oxidized, and oxygen is reduced
what is an example of a coenzyme and carries hydrogen
NAD+
during cellular respiration what is being broken down
glucose and other organic molecules
after the organic molecules are broken down what are the electrons transferred to
NAD+
NAD+ is a what, and what is its functions
it is an electronic acceptor and functions as an oxidizing agent during cellular respiration
what is the reduced form of NAD+
NADH
what does NADH represent
stored energy that is tapped to synthesize ATP
what does NADH pass the electrons to
the electron transport chain
in the electron transport chain what does oxygen do
it pulls down the chain in an energy yielding tumble
when oxygen in the electron transport chain pulls down the chain in an energy yielding tumble what does the energy yield used for
to regenerate ATP
during cellular respiration when is the oxygen used and for what
used in the last step, forms water
what are the three stages of cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- citric acid cycle
- oxidative phosphorylation
what breaks down glucose into to molecules of pyruvate
glycolysis
what completes the breakdown of glucose has the most hydrogens being taken out
citric acid cycle
what accounts for most of the ATP synthesis
oxidative phosphorylation
what does glucose break down into during cellular respiration
pyruvate
what is oxidative phosphorylation
it is a coenzyme that accounts for almost 90% of the ATP generated by cellular respiration
what is substrate level phosphorylation
if is what forms a smaller amount of ATP in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
substrate+phosphorated group+ADP=
product+ATP
