Chapter Six Flashcards
Cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ->->-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Glycolysis
Occurs in the cytoplasm, breaks down glucose into two pyruvate, 2 NADH and a net gain of two atp
Pyruvate Oxidation
When pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA
Krebs cycle
Conversion of acetyl CoA to carbon, produces six nadh and two fadh, also two carbon per turn
Electron transfer chain
Uses energy from the electrons to create a proton gradient that powers ATP synthase
Redox reactions
Reduction - gaining an electron
Oxidization - losing an electron
Anabolic and catabolic
Creating and destroying
Autotrophs and heterotroph
Making your own energy v eating things for energy
Fermentation
Unaerobic conversion of pyruvate and nadh to latic acid and nad+
