Exam 3 November (Cell Respiration) Flashcards
Cell Respiration
breaking down organic molecules (glucose) to release energy, and then using then energy to form ATP
What is the equation for cell respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —-> 6CO2 + 6H2O
How much energy is produced?
688 kCal/mole Glucose, used to make ADP + P –> ATP
What is ATP used for in cell respiration?
it is used as a source of energy for activation, also is a product
What is the energy removed from glucose during cell respiration used for?
to make NADH, ATP, and FADH2
What processes of cell respiration occur in the matrix of the mitochondria?
pyruvate processing, acetyl CoA, and the citric acid cycle
Where does glycolysis occur?
in the cytosol of the cell
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
In the inner membrane of the mitochondria
endocytosis (bulk transport)
a method of membrane transport
What is HDL?
high density lipoprotein, good cholesterol
What is LDL?
Low density lipoprotein, bad cholesterol
What is a lipoprotein?
Single layer of phospholipids forming a molecule
What is the difference between HDL and LDL?
both transport cholesterol, they only difference between good and bad cholesterol is what is carrying it
HDL lipoprotein
30% of cholesterol goes here, they deliver it to the liver, and the liver can recycle it or get rid of it through bile, can also pick up cholesterol from the heart arteries
LDL lipoprotein
70% of cholesterol goes here, delivers cholesterol to other cells to use in their cell membranes, cholesterol tends to bind to arteries in the heart
