Mitochondia Flashcards
Contains two membranes, separated by space
Mitochondria
Enclosed inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria
Matrix
Converted from Adenosine diposphate by adding phosphate group with the high energy bond
ATP
Simplest form of sugar
Glucose
The glucose enters the cell by these special molecules in the membrane
Glucose transporters
Requires no oxygen, occurs in the cytoplasm outside the mitochondria
Anaerobic metabolism, glycolysis
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate
Glycolysis
How many ATPs are made for every one molecule of glucose?
4 ATPs
Carrier molecules for electrons
NAD+ and FAD+
A 3 carbon molecule
Pyruvate
2 carbon molecule with enzyme
Acetyl CoA
4 carbon molecules
Oxaloacetate
Compound made of Oxaloacetate and Acetyl CoA
Citric Acid
Process that couples the removal of hydrogen ions from one molecule and and giving phosphate molecules to another
Oxidative phosphorylation
Location of electron transport chain
Mitochondrial Cristae
Transfers hydrogen from one side of the membrane to another
Hydrogen pump
Space between inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria
Intercristae space
Pump in the electron transport chain that catalyzes the transfer of the electrons to oxygen to make water.
Third pump
Uses the energy of the hydrogen ion gradient to form ATP from ADP and phosphate
ATP synthase
Importance of Cristae
- Contains ETC and ATP pump
2. Separates matrix from the space that will contain H+.
Containing only inner membrane and matrix
Mitoplasts
Technique that enables you to view the inside of the membrane surface of Mitoplasts
Negative staining
Elementary particles in the inner surface of the Cristae
ATP synthase molecules
Lies outside the inner membrane , a loosely attached peripheral protein in the space contained by the Cristae
Cytochrome C
