Q

describe the steps of oxidative decarboxylation

A

pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation. so H is removed and CO2 is removed

removed hydrogens are donated to NAD to make one NADH per pyruvate molecule (the used in OP)
acetyl group made binds to CoA to make 2C acetyl CoA

Q

what happens to the CO2 removed from oxidative phosphorylation?

A

either diffuse away and be removed from the organism as metabolic waste, or in autotrophs it could be used as a raw material in photosynthesis

Q

the steps of the Krebs cycle

A

CoA is removed. then the 2C acetyl group reacts with 4Coxaloacetate to make 6C citrate

citrate undergoes decarboxylation and dehydrogenation to make 1 red NAD and CO2. making 5C compound

5C compound undergoes further decarboxylation and dehydration reactions. after 2 rounds and CO2& NADH ATP FADH then NADH, oxaloacetate is regenerated

Q

what are coenzymes derived from?

A

vitamins. Coenzymes are mostly recycled and vitamins are an essential micronutrients

Q

describe the role of NAD

A
  • takes part in all stages of cellular respiration
  • accepts one hydrogen
  • oxidised at the start of the ETC releasing protons an electrons
  • make 3ATP

Q

describe the role of FAD

A
  • only accepts hydrogen in the krebs cycle
  • accepts two hydrogens
  • oxidised further along the ETC releasing protons an electrons
  • makes 2 ATP

12
Q

describe the process of OP

A

H atoms that have been collected by FADH and NADH are delivered to ETC present in the membranes of the cristae of the mito

h atoms dissociate into hydrogen ions and electrons. those electrons used to make ATP by chemiosmosis and energy released during redo reactions as the electrons reduce and oxidise the electron carriers ass they flow along the ETC .

energy used to make a proton gradient therefore there’s a diffusion of protons through atp synthase so makes ATP

at the end of the etc, electrons combine with h+ and oxygen to make water. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and the ETC cant operative without oxygen present.

Q

why respiration is described as aerobic

A

requires the full breakdown of glucose and therefore aerobic

14
Q

why doesn’t the hydrogen released from NAD and FAD combine directly with 02 to released energy as the bonds that make up H20 are formed?

A

the energy wouldn’t be used to make ATP

Heat released in the exothermic reaction would just raise the temperature of the cell

Q

how is substrate level phosphorylation different to oxidative phosphorylation

A

couples the flow of protons own the electrochemical gradient through ATP synthase to the phosphylation of ADP to make ATP

Q

ATP production of anaerobic vs aerobic respiration

A

2 vs 38

17
Q

When does anaerobic respiration occur

A

Oxygen can’t be supplied fast enough to the cells or
When theres no oxygen
To keep vital processes functioning

18
Q

Why does anaerobic produce less atp that aerobic

A

The organic compound, eg glucose, aren’t fully broken down

19
Q

Where does alcoholic fermentation occur

A

Yeast and some plant root cells

20
Q

Where does fermentation occur

A

Animal cells

21
Q

What happens when theres no oxygen to act as the final electron acceptors at the end of the etc

A

Flow ofnelectrons stop and making atp by chemosmosis stops too
Red NAd and fad aren’t able to be oxidised as theres nowhere for their electrons to go so the nada and fad cant be regen. Link and Krebs stop because no coenzyme to accept the H being removed

22
Q

Describe the process of lactate fermentation in mammals

A

Pyruvate can act as a hydrogen acceptor from the nad
Catalysed by lactate dehydrogenase
Pyruvate to lactate and NAD regent to keep glycolysis going
Aerobic is still happening

23
Q

What happens to the lactic acid that made in fermentation

A

Converted back to glucose in the liver but oxygen needed for this process, jence the oxygen debt and need to breath heavy after exercise

24
Q

Why lactate fermentation can occur forecer

A

Reduced quantity of ATP made not nuff to maintain vital process for a long time

Accumulation of lactic acid causes decrease pH leading to dentures enzymes . Respiratory enzymes and muscles filaments are made from proteindnand will not fiction at low ph

25
Q

How does increasing fitness affect lactate fermentation

A

Increases blood supply and flow through muscles

Increases rate of lactic acid removal and intensity and duration of exercise can increase

26
Q

Alcohol fermentation

A

Irreversible
Can happen forever
Ethanol is a toxic waste product to yeast
Can’t survive in over 15 percent ethanol which is allowed to happen in wine makeonh

27
Q

Why do lipids release more ATP in respiration than carbs

A

They have a greater proportion of CH bonds

28
Q

Why lipids have a lower rq than carbs

A

They hive more CH bonds that require more O to break them down, lipids releases relatively less CO2

29
Q

How to determine the substrate being used

A

Measure the vol of o2 in and CO2 out suring resp of a particular substrate. Measure rq and you can roughly determine

30
Q

Whats the value of rq during anaerobic and why

A

Over one. But not easy to measure as the point anaerobic starts isn’t easy to pinpoint
