Mitochondrial respiration Flashcards
What system is the primary system we rely on 24 hours a day?
Mitochondrial respiration system
3 mitochondrial pathways:
krebs cycle
Electron transport system (ETC)
Oxidative phosphorylation (OP)
All of the steps in mitochondrial repiration help to ____ down ATP production
Slow
kreb cycle extends the energy potential of a glucose molecule in what type of conditions?
Aerobic
pyruvate from glycolyis gets turned into
Acetyl-CoA
Krebs cycle results in production of ATP and more good molecules that can be used where and for what?
Can be used in the ETC and OP to generate ATP
by products of Krebs cycle
2 ATP
2 FADH2
8 NADH and H+
Building of electrical chemical gradient
Electron transport chain
Utilizing electrical chemical gradient to make ATP
Oxidative Phosphorylation
H+ gets pumped acros cytochrome and electrons get trapped inside the INNER membrane, which creates a postive and negative area in the inner memberane
Total ATP from 1 molecule of glucose
36 ATP
Total ATP from 2 molecules of glucose
72 ATP
