Chapter 9-Personal Outline Flashcards
__________: a catabolic process that degraded sugars and other organic fuel.
Fermentation
____________: the most efficient catabolic pathway in which oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel.
Aerobic Respiration
_______________: includes both Aerobic and Anaerobic cellular respiration.
Cellular Respiration:
_______________: oxidation-reduction reactions. An exchange reaction or sorts.
Redox Reactions
_________________________________: the loss of electrons from a substance
Oxidation
______________: the addition of electrons to another substance
Reduction
_______________: the electron donor
Reducing Agent
________________: the electron acceptor
Oxidizing Agent
____________: a vitamin and coenzyme, which carries electrons.
NAD+
____________________: Consist of a number of molecules mostly proteins built into the inner membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.
Electron Transport Chain
_______________: the metabolic breakdown of glucose. They majority of the breakdown are done by the cytosol.
Glycolysis
______________: the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide. This is the final step in the breakdown of glucose.
Citric Acid Cycle
___________________: redox reactions and electron transport chains power ATP synthesis.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
_________________: a smaller amount of ATP is formed directly in a few reactions of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by these mechanisms. They are a type of enzymatic reaction
Substrate-level phosphorylation
• Glycolysis harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate.
• After pyruvate is oxidized, the citric acid cycle completes the energy yielding oxidation of organic molecules.
________: upon entering the mitochondrion via active transport, pyruvate is first converted to compound called acetyl coenzyme.
Acetyl CoA
______________: the remaining electron carries between ubiquinone and oxygen.
Cytochromes
_________________: The population of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion or the prokaryotic plasma membrane is many copies of protein complexes.
ATP synthase
____________________: the process in which energy stored in the form of hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane is used to drive cellular work such as the synthesis of ATP.
Chemiosmosis
______________________: the H+ concentration gradient in cells.
Proton Motive Force
_____________ is an energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of an ______________
Chemiosmosis
H+ gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work
____________________: pyruvate is converted to ethanol in two steps. The first step releases carbon dioxide from pyruvate.
Alcohol Fermentation:
_________________: pyruvate is reduced directly by NADH to form lactate as an end product with no release of CO2
Lactic Acid Fermentation:
__________________: carry out only fermentation or anaerobic processes.
Obligated Anaerobes:
________________: organisms that can make ATP to survive using fermentation or respiration
Facultative Anaerobes:
____________________: a process which breaks down fatty acids to two carbon fragments, which later enter the citric acid cycle as Acetyl CoA.
Beta Oxidation:
