Energy Flashcards
How is ATP produced?
Substrate level phosphorylation and Phosphorylation
Substrate level phosphorylation
phosphate group removed from intermediate reactant.
Free energy of reaction used to add phosphate to ADP.
Oxidative phosphorylation
uses chemiosmosis and oxygen to produce ATP.
Glycolysis
Occurs in cytoplasm; No requirement for oxygen; 1 glucose à 2 pyruvate; needs input of 2 ATP; total ATP 4 net 2 and 2 NADH
Oxidation of pyruvate
Occurs in mitochondria; requires oxygen; 2 pyruvate à2 acetyl CoA; Produces 2NADH per molecule of glucose
Citric Acid Cycl
Occurs in matrix of mitochondria; requires oxygen; Know total production of ATP, NADH, FADH2 per molecule of glucose
Electron Transport Chain
Proteins located on inner mitochondrial membrane; Electrons from NADH and FADH2 donated to electron transport chain proteins- Energy used to pump H+ from matrix to intermembrane space; Finale electron acceptor is oxygen; ATP synthase- Allows H+ to diffuse from intermembrane space to matrix,Uses energy to make ATP; chemiosmosis
Anaerobic Respiration
Occurs if oxygen is absent; Converts pyruvate to something that can be eliminated and converts NADH to NAD+;In muscle pyruvate is converted to lactic acid; In yeast pyruvate is converted to ethanol; No energy (ATP) produced
