Chemistry and Metabolism Flashcards
Define PH
How acidic or basic a substance or solution is
Define Acid
PH lower than 7
Define Base
PH higher than 7
Define Buffer
a solution that can resist Ph change upon the addition of an acidic or basic component.
Define cellular respiration
metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP.
Cellular Respiration Chemical Equation is?
C6H1206—>6CO2+6H2O+ATP
anaerobic respiration
no o2
aerobic respiration
o2, pyruvate, atp, co2, h2o
Krebs Cycle and ETC take place where?
Mitochondia
glycolysis produces what
2 pyruvate and 2 ATP
citric acid cycle produces what?
NADH, FADH, 2ATP
What happens to they hydrogen after the Citric acid cycle?
it floods the intro membranous space, leaves NAD and FAD
What two molecules are used in the Electron Transport Chain?
H and O
What spins the hydrogen out?
ATP Synthase
what is O used for in ETC
to get rid of hydrogen
What do we make from this cycle
ATP and H2O
