Q

-type of RNA that serves as catalyst acting specifically on strands of RNA during protein synthesis.

A

RIBOZYMES

17
Q

-the removal of electron from an atom or molecule in a reaction That produces energy.

A

OXIDATION

18
Q

-gaining one or more electron.

A

REDUCTION

19
Q
  • These two reactions are always coupled, each time a molecule is oxidized another is simultaneously reduced.
A

REDOX REACTION

20
Q

-Energy released during redox reaction is trapped by ATP within the cell as energy reserve by addition of a phosphate group ADP in a process called:

A

PHOSPHORYLATION

21
Q

-ATP is generated when a high energy P
is directly transferred from phosphorylated compound to ADP

A

SUBSTRATE-LEVEL PHOSPHORYLATION

22
Q

-electrons are transferred from organic
compound to a series of electron carriers in a system called electron transport chain.

A

OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION

23
Q

-occurs only in photosynthetic cells which contain
chlorophyll (light energy trapping pigments) that can be converted into ATP in a process involving electron transport chain system.

A

PHOSPHORYLATION

24
Q

-is the most common carbohydrate energy source used.

A

GLUCOSE

25
Q
  • is primary source of cellular energy in most organism.
A

OXIDATION OF CARBOHYDRATES

26
Q
  • (splitting of sugar) is oxidation of glucose into pyruvic acid that occurs during the first stage of carbohydrate catabolism.
A

GLYCOLYSIS or EMBDEN-MEYERHOF PATHWAY

27
Q

-an ATP-generating process wherein the final electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule

A

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

28
Q

-is done in a process called Krebs cycle also
called as tricarboxylic cycle or Citric acid.

A

AEROBIC RESPIRATION

29
Q

-the final electron acceptor is an inorganic
molecule other than oxygen.

A

ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION

30
Q

-example of anearobic respiration:

A
