Course Guide Chapter 9: Respiration Flashcards
Where does glycolysis occur?
cytoplasm
Where does acetyl CoA formation occur?
mitochondria
Where does Krebs cycle occur?
mitochondrial matrix
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
inner membrane of mitochondria
What is the first step of oxidative phosphorylation?
NADH or FADH2 electron carriers transfer the electrons stripped from food molecules
After NADH or FADH2 electron carriers transfer the electrons stripped from food molecules, what is the last step of oxidative phosphorylation?
These electrons are then transferred through the electron transport chain and then finally accepted by O2
What happens in the respiration electron transport chain?
During this electron transfer process, H+’s are pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria generating a [H+] gradient. In addition, the concentration of positive charges in the intermembrane space and negative charges in the matrix results in electrochemical gradient.
What is the first step of glycolysis?
Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase
After Glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase, what is the next step of glycolysis?
Glucose 6-phosphate is converted into fructose 6-phosphate
After Glucose 6-phosphate is converted into fructose 6-phosphate, what is the next step of glycolysis?
phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate by phosphofructokinase
After phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate by phosphofructokinase, what is the next step of glycolysis?
fructose 1,6-biphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetonephosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
After fructose 1,6-biphosphate is split into dihydroxyacetonephosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, what is the next step of glycolysis?
reversible conversion of dihydroxyacetonephosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
After reversible conversion of dihydroxyacetonephosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, what is the next step of glycolysis?
oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and phosphorylation to generate 1,3-biphosphoglycerate
After oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and phosphorylation to generate 1,3-biphosphoglycerate, what is the next step of glycolysis?
first ATP synthesis by transferring high energy phosphate group from 1,3 BPG to ADP (substrate level phosphorylation)
After first ATP synthesis by transferring high energy phosphate group from 1,3 BPG to ADP (substrate level phosphorylation), what is the next step of glycolysis?
The phosphate group of 3-phosphoglycerate is transferred from 3rd C to 2nd C to generate 2-phosphoglycerate by phosphoglyceromutase
