Cliff's - Chapter 3 - Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Cellular Respiration
(definition)
ATP-generating process
occurs within cells
How is ATP formed? (simple)
energy extracted from glucose
forms ATP from ADP and Pi
Chemical Equation
(energy production, cellular respiration)
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 –> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
molecular formula glucose
C6H12O
general molec formula glucose or carb
CH2O
(CH2O)n
aerobic respiration
(definition)
cellular respiration in presence of O2
Cellular respiration components
- Glycolysis
- Krebs cycle
- Oxidative phosphorylation
Glycolysis
(definition)
glucose —> pyruvate
(decomposition)
lysis (synonym)
decomposition
intermediate products formed during glycolysis (how many?)
9
each intermediate product of glycolysis is catalyzed by an
enzyme
in 6 of the steps of glycosylation, magnesium ions are
cofactors that promote enzyme activity
summary of glycoslyation
2 ATP added
2 NADH produced
4 ATP produced
2 Pyruvate formed
why are 2 ATP added for glycosylation?
first several steps require input of energy
alters glucose in prep for subsequent steps
how are NADH produced in glycosylation?
NAD+ + 2e- + H+ —> NADH
NADH is a type of
coenzyme
H+ to form NADH is obtained from
intermediate molecule during breakdown of glucose
net ATP from glycolysis
2
(4 produced but 2 used)
glycosylation occurs in the
cytosol
Krebs Cycle
(definition)
details what occurs to pyruvate produced during glycosylation
(2 pyruvate produced during glycosylation)
multiply products of krebs cycle x2 to account for 2 pyruvate
step leading to krebs cycle
pyruvate + CoA —> acetyl CoA
also produced: 1 NADH, 1 CO2
CoA
coenzyme A
initiating step of krebs cycle
acetyl CoA + oxaloacetate —> citrate
7 intermediate products of krebs cycle
- citrate (3-carbon citrate)
- 3 NADH
- 1 FADH2
- CO2
- 1 ATP
FADH2
coenzyme, like NADH
accepts electrons during rxn
krebs cycle aka
citric acid cycle
or
tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle
TCA
tricarboxyclic acid
OAA
oxaloacetate
CO2 produced by krebs cycle is
CO2 animals exhale
memorize fig 4.1
cellular respiration
Oxidative Phosphorylation
extracting ATP form NADH + FADH2
electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass along the
(oxidative phosph)
electron transport chain (etc)
ETC consists of
proteins that pass electrons
carrier protein –> carrier protein —> carrier protein
cytochromes
carrier proteins
include nonprotein parts containing iron
along each step of chain, electrons give up energy used to
phosphorylate ADP to ATP
NADH provides electrons –> enough energy to generate
3 ATP
FADH2 —>
2 ATP
