Molecular Flashcards
Hydrolysis
The process in which water is used to break the bond the second and third phosphates to release energy, end releases ADP, energy
ATP
Adenosine TriPhosphate, stores energy, 3 phosphates, electrons between phosphates are in high energy state
Glycolises
Process in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate:
- 2 Molecules if ATP are broken down into ADP to break glucose into two 3 carbon compounds (PGAL)
- Per PGAL 2 molecules of ATP and 1 molecule of NADH is produced by the rearrangement of PGAL into pyruvic acid
Glycolises Formula
Glucose + 2NAD + 2ATP + 4ADP + 2P = 2 pyruvate + 2NADH + 2ADP + 4ATP
Net Gain: 2 ATP, 2NADH, 2 pyruvate
Where does Glycolises occur?
The cytoplasm
Pyruvate Oxidation
Coenzyme A acts with Pyruvic acid to Yield acetyl coenzyme a (2 carbon compound) and NADH, 1st step in the Krebs cycle, when acetyl coenzyme A enters the Krebs cycle by bonding with oxsloacetate, coenzyme a regenerates
Krebs Cycle Steps
- 2 Carbon acetyl co-a bonds to 4 carbon oxaloacetic acid to yield a 6 carbon molecule called citric acid
2.
Krebs Cycle Simmary
6 carbon molecule in broken dins into a 4 carbon molecule to release 2 molecules of CO2, 3NADH, one ATP and one FADH2
Cellular Respiration Net Gain
36 ATP
Mesophyll
Green tissue in the interior of the leaf
Photosynthesis in Cyanobacteria
Occurs in cytoplasm
Domains
Bacteria, archaebacteria, eukaryotes
Bacteria
single celled, prokaryotic, circular DNA, no nucleus, heterotrophic, classified by morphological appearance, cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Protist Kingdom
Mostly unicellular eukaryotes, can use flagella, most underdeveloped in
Eukaryotic domain, sexual and asexual domain
Ex. Amoeba, ciliates, algae, slime molds
Saprophytes
Feed off dead material
