Q

what is the benefit and drawback of fermentation

A

benefit: still make ATP
drawback: only minimally oxidizing glucose (to pyruvate) releases little energy; wasting energy in NADH; only 2 net ATP

16
Q

how long can organisms be facultative anaerobes(switch between fermentation and cell respiration)

A

yeast cells: indefinitely (assuming no buildup of alcohol
human cells: only temporary stopgap(except some tumor strains)

17
Q

in lactic acid fermentation, e- acceptor accepts electrons from what?

18
Q

except from fermentation (pyruvate and acetylaldehyde) what organisms use different final e- acceptor in ETC, and what does this called

A

bacteria/archaea
anaerobic respiration

19
Q

in terms of efficiency (ATP/glucose) ζŽ’εΊ anaerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, fermentation

A

fermentation< anaerobic respiration< aerobic respiration

20
Q

why is the aerobic respiration most efficient?

A

oxygen more electronegative

21
Q

what other carbs except glucose can be used in cellular respiration since they are made by glucose

A

starch/glycogen

22
Q

why other carbs can be fairly easy to be used?

A

many monosaccharides fairly easy to interconvert with the right enzyme (glucose and galactose)

23
Q

what is triglycerides/fat composed of

A

1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids

24
Q

when does glycerol enters partway? (cell respiration)

A

glycolysis

25
what happen to fatty acids of triglycerides/fat in cell respiration?
undergo beta oxidation and combine with CoA to form Acetyl CoA and enter citric acid cycle.
26
what is the term describe what happen to triglycerides/fat
lipolysis
27
during beta-oxidation of lipolysis, how many carbs Acetyl CoA need how many carbs of the fatty acids
2
28
what does proteolysis break proteins down to
amino acids
29
what can be part of the reason for why so much protein can be bad
amino acids more variable, but amine group removed
30
when can amino acids enter during cellular respiration
several points (pyruvate, Acetyl CoA, Citric Acid cycle
31
what is produced when breaking down proteins to amino acids? I am not sure about the answer
NH3
32
what is the name of process that involve the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones and typically release energy
Catabolic pathways
33
what are broken down in the catabolic pathway in the example picture of the slides
carbohydrate: sugar- glucose fats and phospholipids: glycerol and fatty acids protein: amino acids
34
what process build molecules
anabolic pathways
35
is nucleotide synthesis and breakdown in anabolic?
synthesis but not breakdown
36
what need energy and what produce energy, anabolic or catabolic?
catabolic produces energy and anabolic requires energy
37
in anabolic citric acid cycle synthesis amino acids, true or false
false, substrates for amino acid synthesis
38
ROS
