Energy production Flashcards
The more negative the voltage, the _______ redox potential
lower
what is the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration
O2
What is the final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration
inorganic molecule other than O2
what is the final electron acceptor in fermentation?
an organic molecule
what is the most common glycolytic pathway?
glycolisis
What are the products of one pyruvate going through glycolisis
1 ATP, 4 Nadh, 1 Fadh, 3 CO2
What is the main goal of the electron transport chain
to get everything oxidized again so that they can accept more electrons
what four things happen in Respiration after glycolysis
- Pyruvate is completely oxidized to CO2
- NADH is oxidized to NAD
- Electrons are given to final electron acceptor
- ATP is made
What makes lactic fermentation unique from other forms of fermentation?
organic electron acceptor is pyruvate, and produces lactate
What makes ethanolic fermentation unique?
organic electron acceptor is acetaldehyde
what 4 things characterize chemolithotropy?
- uses reduced inorganic -e donor
- e- go through electron transport pathway
- e- are used to reduce final electron donor
- ATP and NADH are used to convert CO2 to sugars
in regards to electron transfer, how is chemolithotrophy special
electron transport occurs in two directions
Define anoxygenic photosynthesis
Organic or inorganic electron donor, and the final electron acceptor is oxidized photosynthetic pigment
- cyclic, one pigment used
Define Oxygenic photosynthesis
electron donor is H2O, and the final electron acceptor is NAD or NADP
- noncyclic, two pigments used
