Finals: CELL RESPIRATION Flashcards
cellular respiration:
chemical process that uses oxygen to convert the chemical energy stored in fuel molecules to a form of chemical energy that the cell can use to perform work, cells release energy by means of a different exergonic process, involves many steps (each with a different chemical reaction
-two types of respiration
aerobic and anaerobic (fermentation)
-three fates of pyruvic acid:
pyruvate godes to matrix or mitochondria (aero) and changed into acetic acid or changed to lactic acid or ethyl alcohol (aner)
-lactic acid:
o muscle, daily exercise and muscle gets fatigued
-aerobic respiration:
if oxygen is present, one source of substrate level phosphorylation during aerobic respiration is citric / krebs cycle
anaerobic
don’t need oxygen, also known as fermentation
-fermentation:
anaerobic, human tissues and cells cannot perform fermentacion
-two types of anaerobic respiration
lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation
-lactic acid fermentation:
muscle cells and certain bacteria can regenerate NAD+,
-alcohol fermentation:
builds up in muscle cells during strenuous exercise is carried to liver where it is converted back to pyruvate, dairy industry uses it to make cheese and yogurt, turn soybeans into soy sauce and cabbage into sauerkraut
-alcohol fermentation
in brewing, winemaking, baking, recycle their NADH back to NAD+ while converting pyruvate to CO2 and ethanol, CO2 = bubbles in beer and champagne, cause dough to rise
-yeasts:
single-celled fungi that are normally use aerobic respiration to process their food, release alcohol wastes to surrounding
-three types of cellular work that require ATP:
chemical work, mechanical work, transport
-how is ATP made from ADP:
energy released in exergonci reactions such as breakdown of glucose during cellular respiraiton is used ot regenrate ATP from ADP, phosphate group is bonded to ADP
-three stages of aerobic respiration:
glycolysis, citric cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
-glycolysis
occur in cytoplasmic fluid of cell or outside of organelles, function: supply oxidative phosphoyrlation with electrons, 10 reactions, 10 different enzymes, glucose is broken down (need ATP, get 4 ATP, get 2 NADH), breaks glucose into pyruvate
-in glycolysis how many ATPs are produced:
4 ATPS
-in glycolysis, how many ATPs are used:
2
