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
