Chapters 9, 10 Flashcards
Respiration transforms
Energy into ATP through a series of enzyme catalyzed reactions that harvest free energy from simple carbs
Respiration is
Simply breaking down foods to convert stored energy into ATP
Endotherms do what
Increase metabolic processes such as respiration to generate heat to maintain homeostatic body temps
Ectotherms rely on
Their surroundings to maintain temperature
How is energy transformed
Relocation of electrons released energy, which is stored in organic molecules (the energy is them used to make ATP)
Redox reactions
Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons from one reactant to another
OIL RIG
Oxidation is losing
Reduction is gaining
Organisms can ___ body mass due to release of ____ during cellular respiration
Lose
Carbon dioxide
Process of cellular respiration
Glycolysis
Citric acid cycle (Krebs)
Electron transport chain
Chemiosmosis
Oxidative phosphorylation
Production of ATP powered by the oxidation (breakdown) of molecules during the elctron transport chain
Substrate level phosphorylation
Production of ATP that occurs when an enzyme removes a phosphate group from a substrate molecule and transfers it to ADP (glycolysis and krebs)
Glycolysis
First step in cellular respiration which rearranges the bonds in goucose, releasing free energy in form of ATP, resulting in production of pyruvate
Glycolysis occurs where
In cytosol
Does glycolysis need oxygen
Occurs whether oxygen is present or not
Glycolysis starts w
1 molecule of glucose
Glycolysis produces
2 pyruvate
2 NADH
2ATP
If oxygen is present in glyocolysis…
The pyruvate enters the mitocondria an is used in aerobic respiration
What is pyruvate converted into during aerobic respiration
Acetyl CoA and NADH
How many times does aerobic respiration occur
2x bc 2 pyruvates are made during glycolysis soooo 2 acetyl CoA made and 2 NADH made
By product of aerobic respiration
CO2
Krebs cycle products
2 ATP (substrate phosphorylation)
6 NADH
2 FADH2
The NADH and FADH2 act as
Energy carriers and transfer energy to the electron transport chain
Byproduct of krebs
CO2
How many times does krebs occur
2x because 2 acetyl coA molecules
Where is electron transport chain
Embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
Electron transport chain
Series of proteins that transport electrons which releases energy used to make ATP
Does electron transport chain make ATP directly
NO
What is first broken down by electron transport chain
NADH and FADH2
What happens to the electrons transferred from NADH and FADH2
Passed down the electron transport chain until they reach the final electron acceptor
What is the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain
Oxygen- which picks up H+ atoms to maks water
Movement of electrons down the electron transport chain provides free energy
Free energy is then used to drive chemiosmosis which makes ATP
Chemiosmosis
Energy coupling reaction (cotransport) that uses energy stored in the form of a proton gradient to make ATP
First step of chemiosmosis pumps H+ where
From the matrix to the intermembrane space
Rate of proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane is ________ if oxygen ______ present
Lower if oxygen is not present
How do H+ (protons) diffuse back across the inner mitochondrial membrane
Through ATP synthase
For each moleucle of NADH that enters the electron transport chain how many ATPs are made
3
For each molecule of FADH2 that enters the electron transport chain how many ATPs are made
2
Acetyl coA accumulates in the
Matrix
Krebs cycle occurs where
Matrix
Uncoupling proteins
Found in mitochondria- uncouple the two processes and dissipate the proton gradient before it can be used to make ATP
