Exam 2 Energy Production Flashcards
Four energy storage molecules in the cell.
ATP, NADH, NADPH, FADH
Proteins that catalyze reactions but are not consumed by the reaction.
Enzyme
Breaking down molecules for energy.
Catabolism
Using energy to build cell components.
Anabolism
Balance between catabolism and anabolism. Central biochemical pathways used for both.
Metabolism
Requires an inorganic electron receptor.
Respiration
Metabolic process to convert solar energy into chemical energy.
Photosynthesis
Membrane-embedded system using electron donors and acceptors to create an ion potential.
Electron transport system
Three cellular functions powered by the proton motive force (PMF).
ATP synthase, ion transport, flagella motion
Energy is derived from compounds that do not contain any carbon.
Lithotrophy
Energy is derived from the breakdown of compounds comprised of carbon.
Organotrophy
Three glucose catabolism pathways.
Glycolysis (EMP) (prokaryotic and Eukaryotic), Enter-Doudoroff (ED) (prokaryotic), Pentose phosphate shunts (PPS) (prokaryotic and Eukaryotic)
Catabolism without the electron transport system.
Fermentation
Generates a proton gradient that powers ATPase to produce ATP.
Proton motive force
Two general components of metabolism.
Anabolism, Catabolism
