Q

True or False.
ATP is essentially the adenine nucleotide with two extra phosphate groups added to it.

A

True.
The adenine nucleotide already has one phosphate group so adding two would make it three.

Q

List 3 reasons how ATP is adapted to its job

A
  1. It releases energy in small amount just enough for the needed amount
    2.It releases energy in a single step hydrolysis
  2. It moves around the cell but does not move out of the cell.

Q

A small amount of ATP is produced in a way that does not involve
the ATP synthase molecule; this method is called ____________

A

substrate level phosphorylation. It is when another molecule (substrate)
is able to transfer a phosphate
group directly to ADP

15
Q

true or false. ATP synthase is involved in the substrate level phosphorylation

A

False, but the process of transferring a phosphate group from molecules like phosphoenol pyruvate to ADP is still catalyzed by an enzyme, just not ATP synthase

90

17
Q

________ are organic molecules that can be
respired

A

respiratory substrates

18
Q

_____ is to decrease the oxidation
state of a substance

A

reduce

19
Q

_____ is to increase the oxidation
state of a substance

A

oxidise

20
Q

what are the four stages of aerobic respiration?

A

glycolysis
the link reaction
Krebs cycle
electron transport and chemiosmosis

21
Q

what are the two molecules involved in the transfer of molecules?

A

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide

22
Q

true of false
In reduction, a particle gains a hydrogen or electrons.

A

True. In reduction, a particle loses oxygen, gains hydrogen or gains electrons

23
Q

the two process of reduction and oxidization always happen together in a reaction called ______.

A

Redox

24
Q

The first stage, glycolysis,takes place in the

A

cytoplasm. Unlike the rest of the process, it does not take place in the mitochondria because the glucose molecule cannot pass through and there is no carrier protein to carry it.

25
Q

describe the process of glycolysis

A

It is the splittling of the glucose molecule into a three carbon molecule-pyruvate

26
Q

what happens to the pyruvate made in the glycolysis once it is in the link reaction?

A

It is further split into a two carbon molecule

27
Q

________ is the fluid in the
mitochondrion in which the
reactions of the Krebs cycle
take place

A

matrix

28
Q

________ is a series of molecules along which
electrons travel

A

electron transport chain

29
Q

__________ is the oxygen-dependent production
of ATP

A

oxidative phosphorylation

30
Q

what are the protons used for in the aerobic respiration parthway for making ATP?

A

they are used for the chemiosmosis synthesis of ATP

31
Q

what is the only energy releasing process in anaerobic respiration?

A

Glycolysis
