Chapter 9 Flashcards
What’s the difference between cellular respiration and fermentation?
Fermentation doesn’t use oxygen while cellular respiration does
Loses electrons
Oxidation
Gains electrons
Reduction
What happens to the energy when compounds lose electrons? Gain?
Lose; gain
What electron carrier is hydrogen transferred to first?
NAD
An organic molecule that acts as a cofactor
Coenzyme
What happens when NAD is reduced?
The enzyme delivers 2 electrons and 1 proton to form NADH
Is NAD oxidized or reduced?
Oxidized
Does NADH have a higher or lower potential energy?
Higher
Is NADH oxidized or reduced?
Reduced
Does NAD have a higher or lower potential energy?
Lower
Moves electrons down a series of redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP
Electron transport chain
Where is electron transport found in eukaryotic cells? Prokaryotic?
Mitochondria membrane, cell membrane
What is the final electron acceptor?
oxygen
What is the pathway of electrons in cellular respiration?
Glucose, NADH, electron transport chain, oxygen
