LEC EXAM #2 CHP 6 Flashcards
Anaerobic respiration consists of:
Glycolysis and anaerobic fermentation (lactic acid production)
Where does anaerobic respiration/glycolysis occur in the cell?
Cytosol
Under what conditions does anaerobic respiration/glycolysis take place?
Typically in skeletal muscle; no oxygen is needed-when sprinting
What is NAD used for?
Grabs 2 electrons and 1 proton
What is the net ATP of anaerobic respiration?
2
Aerobic respiration consists of:
Krebs and the electron transport chain
How many ATP does Kreb’s cycle produce?
2
Where does aerobic respiration occur in the cell?
Mitochondria matrix
Under what conditions does aerobic respiration occur?
When you need oxygen
How are NAD and FAD recycled?
Recycled in anaerobic and aerobic respiration
Cori cycle:
How we process lactic acid
What are end products of aerobic respiration?
- 36 ATP
- CO2
- H2O
What is the final electron acceptor in the ETC?
Oxygen- that is why we need oxygen
Why is the ETC important?
- Because it frees NAD+ and FAD to be reused in Krebs and the ETC
- generates ATP
Components of ATP:
Adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphate groups
What is ATP used for?
Transports and stores energy
How do get carbon dioxide from cellular metabolism?
from the final breakdown of glucose in the Kreb’s cycle
How do we get heat from cellular metabolism?
Energy in glucose releases heat
How do we get water from cellular metabolism?
From oxygen and hydrogen in the ETC
Gluconeogenesis:
synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors such as:
- lactic acid
- glycerol
- amino acids
Glycogenesis:
synthesis of glycogen from glucose
How do we use triglycerides for cellular respiration?
For energy storage
What do triglycerides break down as during cellular respiration?
acetyl-CoA
