Grade 11 Unit 5 Flashcards
Where is ATP synthase located
In inner membrane
fluid in the mitochondrion in which the reactions of the Krebs cycle take place
matrix
a series of molecules along which electrons travel
electron transport chain
oxygen-dependent production of ATP
oxidative phosphorylation
oxygen-dependent production of ATP
oxidative phosphorylation
coenzyme derived from pantothenic acid needed for respiration
coenzyme A
At the end of the electron transport chain, the electrons combine with protons and with oxygen to form …….
Water
……. is known as the terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration
oxygen
electrons from ……… only operate two of the three proton pumps
reduced FAD
reduced FAD is dehydrogenated by
ubiquinone
The diffusion of hydrogen ions through the ATP synthase is …….
chemiosmosis
What is the basis of how respirometers work
volume of oxygen used (6O2) is equal to the volume of carbon dioxide produced (6CO2).
What is the knock-on’ effect if the electron transport chain does not function?
NAD is not regenerated from reduced NAD and FAD is not regenerated from reduced FAD.
T/F
Rate of bubbling is not the most accurate way of measuring rate of respiration
T
This metabolism converges via the Krebs cycle to three principal end products:………
water, carbon dioxide and ammonia
