Q

When acquiring energy sources, what is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

A

Autotrophs store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules that they build themselves. Most autotrophs make their “food” through photosynthesis using the energy from the sun. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it.

Q

What is the pathway/process of Glycolysis?

A

Glycolysis removed 4 electrons and passes them to NAD+ forming NADH, which is high energy electrons. At the conclusion of glycolysis, the glucose is broke and rearranged to more.

25
Q

Is fermentation aerobic or anaerobic?

A

anaerobic

26
Q

What happens in Chemiosmosis?

A

With the inner membrane space positively charged, the matrix becomes negatively charged, the charged differences forced ATP through ATP synthase.

27
Q

What compounds are involved in the Chemiosmosis pathway?

A

ATP

28
Q

What is produced/given off in Chemiosmosis?

A

ATP is made

29

A

cytoplasm

32
Q

What impacts does Chemiosmosis have on H+ (hydrogen ions)?

A
33
Q

How does photosynthesis compliment cellular respiration?

A

withdraws energy and deposits carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis withdraws carbon dixocide and deposits energy.

34
Q

What is the function of NAD+?

A
35
Q

What is the function of NADH?

A
36
Q

What happens to pyruvic acid during the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle?

A

The molecules under the matrix of the mitochondrial and are broken down into CO2 and NADH and FADH2 & produce ATP.

37
Q

In the Krebs Cycle, in what form are carbon molecules giving off?

A

As 3-carbon molecules called pyruvic acid

38
Q

What happens to the products of the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle?

A
39
Q

In the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), how do the H+ (hydrogen ions) impact ATP synthase? What is its significance?

A

the charge differences forced ATP through thre ATP syntax se => spins and with each spin grabs ADP and attached the phosphate group to make ATP

40
Q

What happens to NAD+ when oxygen is not available in Glycolysis?

A

If oxygen is not avaliabe, the ETC doesn’t run and the cell cannot produce ATP because NADH is not produced. So high energy electrons cannot be deposited to produce ATP.

41
Q

What is different about fermentation compared to cellular respiration?

A
42
Q

What is similar and different about alcoholic acid and lactic acid fermentation?

A

alcoholic acid fermentation - byproducts: alcohol, CO2, NAD+. Is utilized by yeast and other organisms. It is used to produce alcohol & CO2
lactic acid fermentation - byproducts: lactic acid, NAD+. Is utilized by bacteria (cheese yogurt, sour cream) and humans (rapid burst of muscle movement
