Exam 3 Flashcards
Cellular Respiration Equation
C6H12O6+H20–>energy+6H20+6CO2
Where does glycolysis occur
cytosol
Products of glycolysis
ATP,NADH,H2O,Pyruvate
Where is pyruvate utilized
pyruvate goes to kreb cycle
Commitment Reaction of Glycolysis
First stage
Hexokinase transfers a phosphate group from ATP to glucose, making glucose 6-phosphate. The charge on phosphate traps sugar in cell
Commitment Reaction of Glycolysis
Second stage
Phosphofructokinase transfers a phosphate group from ATP to make fructose 1,6-biphosphate, investing a second molecule of ATP. KeY step in regulation of glycolysis
Energy Pay Off
The phosphate is transferred from PEP to ADP (sublate-level phosphorylation) forming pyruvate
What happens to pyruvate between glycolysis and Krebs cycle
pyruvate–> acectyl CoA
Why is Krebs cycle cyclic
steps 2-8 regenerate oxaloacetate
Where does the Krebs cycle occur?
Mitochondrial matrix
What are the products of the Krebs Cycle
ATP, Acetyl CoA, NADAH,CO2
Where are the products of Kreb’s cycle used?
NADH–> one H taken to system one in ETC
FADH2–> two H’s taken to system two in ETC
First Reaction of Krebs Cycle
Acetyl CoA adds its two carbon group to oxaloacetate, making citrate (highly exergonic reaction)
Where is the ETC located
Inner membrane (cristae) of mitochondria
How do electrons move through ETC
1a) e- transferred from NADH to complex 1
1b) e- transferred from FADH2 to complex
2) complex 1/2 transfer e- to Q
3) Q transfers e- to complex 3
4) complex 3 transfers e- to cyt c
5) cyc c transfers e- to complex 4
6) complex 4 transfers e- to O2
How is proton motor force generated?
Generated by hydrogen ion concentration and chemical gradient
Why is proton motive force important for the ATP synthase?
It’s the batter of ATP synthase
How does DNP disturb cellular respiration
DNP pokes holes in cell membrane letting hydrogen ions flow freely disrupting the ion concentration so ATP synthase can’t function
