Lecture Exam 2 (Final Exam) Flashcards
The specific step in Aerobic Cellular Respiration that produces the most ATP molecules for each glucose molecule that enters the process is ________
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Electron microscopy achieves far superior resolution (ability to distinguish two points) and magnification that compound light microscopy primarily due to:
the source of illumination - stream of electrons verus white light
The active site is known to be located on this molecule:
Enzyme
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is the location in the cell where ﹍﹍ are first assembled:
Proteins
The movement of individual solute molecules from regions of lower to higher solute concentrations that also required the use of ATP is known as:
Active Transport
In Aerobic Cellular Respiration, which molecule transfers electrons from the Glycolysis and Krebs Cycles to the electron transport system or the intermembrane space of the mitochondria?
NADH
In what cellular organelle does the Krebs Cycle take place?
Mitochondria
What is the main component of the ceullar membrane, containing both hydropholic and hydrophic regions?
Phospholipid
What are co-factors?
individual ions that bind to enzymes to stablize the structure
example: zinc atom
What are co-enzymes?
large, organic molecules that bind to enzymes and serve as carriers to electrons

ATP Synthase
What is ATP Synthase?
The membrane protein that cataylyzes the phosphorlyation of ADP
