Q

Calvin Cycle Step 1 - Carbon Fixation

What happens and what catalyzes this reaction?

A

Carbon Fixation

  • 3 CO2 molecules combine with 3 5-C compounds (RuBP) to form 6 3-C compounds (3-PGA)
  • Rubisco catalyzes this reaction

Q

Step 1 - Glycoiysis:

  • What is glucose broken down into
  • Where does this happen
  • What does it generate?
A

Glucose is broken down into pyruvate

  • occurs in the cytoplasm
  • generates a net 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 Pyruvate

Ja-just remember that glucose is broken down to Pyryvate

Q

Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle - ______is converted to Acetyl CoA
What is released?
What is formed?
How does Acetyl CoA move?

A

Pyruvate is converted to Acetyl CoA in cytoplasm
* CO2 is also released
* NADH is formes
Acetyl CoA moves from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria (the matrix)

Ja- just remember that the P. word (I’ll make you a word bank) converts to the Ace word (Acetyl CoA-I’ll put this in the word bank)

Q

Step 2: Kreb’s Cycle
What does Acetyl CoA combine with and what does that make?
When citric acid breaks down, what does it release?

For every one glucose, how many turns of the Kreb’s Cycle are yielded?

A
  • Acetyl CoA combines with a 4-carbon compound to make a 6-carbon compound (citric acid)
  • Over several steps, citric acid is broken down releasing:
    ~ 2 molecules carbon dioxide
    ~ 1 molecule ATP
    ~ 3 molecules NADH
    ~ 1 molecule FADH2
  • For every one glucose, two ‘turns’ of the Kreb’s Cycle is yielded

Ja - study that the Ace…word combines with a 4-CARBON to make citric acid which breaks down

Q

Step 3: - Electron Transport Chain
Where does it occur?
What are the first two steps?

A
  • Occurs in 4 steps in the inner membrane (cristae) of the mitochondria
  • Step 1: High energy electrons from the NADH and FADH2 are passed to a s series of electron transport enzymes
  • Step 2: An electron transport chain passes the electrons to oxygen to form water

Ja - high energy electrons pass to electron transport things (enzymes - I’ll put in word bank) and the electron transport chain passes the electrons to form water

Q

Step 3: Electron Transport Chain
What are steps 3 and 4?

About how many ATP are generated?

A
  • Step 3: As some of the proteins accept electrons they pump a hydrogen ion from the inside to the outside.
    Step 4: The flow of hydrogen ions back across the membrane through ATP synthase causes the formation of ATP
  • About 36 ATP are generated

Q

Lactic Acid Fermentation

A

ANIMALS take pyruvic acid and convert it to lactic acid.

17
Q

Alcohol Fermentation

A

Yeast and other microorganisms convert it to alcohol.

This was the original means of energy conversion (other than photosynthesis).

18
Q

The formula for respiration is…..

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> Energy + 6CO2 + 6 H2O

19
Q

The Kreb’s Cycle takes place in which matrix?
Electron Transport occurs where?

A

Occurs in the Mitochondria,
Kreb’s Cycle occurs in the liquid matrix
Electron Transport occurs in the inner membrane
