Focus 2 Flashcards
Putting something out from the cell
Exocytosis
The breaking down of glucose into two pyruvic acids
Glycolysis
Where does glycolysis take place
In the cells cytoplasm
How many ATPs does glycolysis produce
4 ATP but uses 2 for a net total of 2 ATP made
Which two cellular respiration processes are aerobic
Citric acid cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation
Takes two pyruvates and makes two ATP
Citric acid cycle
Where does the citric acid cycle take place
Mitochondrial matrix
What is a byproduct of the citric acid cycle
CO2
Where does oxidative phosphorylation take place
Inner mitochondrial membrane
NADH used to produce about 28 ATP
Oxidative Phosphorylation (electron transport chain)
Provides structure to the cell
Phospholipid bilayer
Provides transport in and out of the cell
Proteins
Provides flexibility to the cell and helps it keep its shape
Cholesterol
Acts as if he sells identity markers. Cell recognition
Carbohydrates
What are three functions of the cell membrane
– Outer boundary
– Selectively permeable
– Responds to changes
