Lecture 13: Cellular Respiration Part 2 Flashcards
What are the two electron carriers in cellular respiration?
NADH & FADH2
what is the ETC made up of?
protein complexes
Before the citric acid cycle begins, pyruvate is converted to
acetyl CoA
In pyruvate oxidation, what is produced?
production of CO2, no ATP
The citric acid cycle will generate more ATP via
substrate-level phosphorlyation
How is citrate formed?
Acetyl group of acetyl CoA + oxaloacetate
What goes to waste in the citric acid cycle ?
2 CO2
What are the reactants and products of the citric acid cycle?
Reactants: 3 NAD+ , ADP, FAD
Products: 3NADH, 3H+, ATP, FADH2
(per glucose so * 2 in total)
removing a carbon from CO2 from a molecule of pyruvate makes?
acetyl CoA
Most of the energy in oxidative phosphorylation is from.
NADH + FADH
How much ATP is produced per glucose from oxidative phosphorylation?
28-32 ATP
The ETC is located
in the intermembrane
What is the final acceptor in the ETC?
O2, which gets converted to water (H2O)
Chemiosmosis facilitates the movement of
H+ from the mitochondrial matrix to intermembrane space
Turning the rod in chemiosmosis activates
catalytic sites that turn ADP + P into ATP
