M5 Respiration Flashcards
where does the glycolysis stage take place?
cytoplasm of cells
where does the link reaction, krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation take place?
in the mitochondria
How many molecules of ATP does 1 REDNAD make?
2.5
how many molecules of ATP does 1 REDFAD make?
1.5
what are 2 types of anaerobic respiration?
alcoholic fermentation and lactate fermentation
what is the process of lactate fermentation?
pyruvate ——-lactate
rednad-nad
occurs in mammals
what is the process of alcoholic fermentation?
pyruvate —-ethanal—–ethanol
decarboxylation occurs rednad to nad
occurs in yeast cells
what is a respiratory substrate?
any biological molecule that can be broken down in respiration to release energy
why do lipids have the highest energy value?
most atp is made in OP which requires hydrogen atoms from redNad and red FAD. more hydrogen atoms per unit of mass = more ATP produced when respired.
lipids contain the most hydrogen atoms per unit of mass
what is the RQ value of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins?
lipids- 0.7
proteins-0.9
carbohydrates- 1
RQ equation
volume of CO2 released/ volume of 02 consumed
what do high RQ mean?
means that an organism is short of oxygen and is having to respire anaerobically as well as aerobically
