Q

Where does stage two of respiration occour

A

Mitochondria

17
Q

Describe how you would investigate the production of alchol by yeast

A

Boil and cool glucose solution
Boiling removes oxygen, makes it anaerobic
Cooling to prevent denatursation
Add yeast
Enzyme to breakdown glucose
Add fermentation lock with limewater inside
Fermentation lock to keep oxygen out
Lime water turns milky to prove Co2 has been produced
Needs to be kept at constant tempture
temperature controlled water bath
When CO2 bubbles stop, the expeirment is finished
The glucose has run out, enzymes killed by alchol
Control was glucose without yeast

18
Q

How do we test if fermentation has resulted in the producton of alochol?

What is the test for alcohol?

A

Iodoform test
AddPotassium iodide solution and Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to each tube
The solutions turns Brown/orange and then clear
Heat in a water bath.
If alcohol is presentPale yellow crystals will be formed

19
Q

What is meant by glycolysis? what happens to the 6 carbon glucose at this stage?

A

Glycolysis is a anerobic process, takes place in the cytosol. It forms a small amount of ATP and NADH . The Glucose molecule breaks down into a 3 Carbon molecule called Pyruvic acid

20
Q

What is Glycosis controlled by?

A

Enzymes

21
Q

What is released in Glycolysis

A

ATP, NADH , 2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid

22
Q

What happens if oxygen is present after Glycolysis

A

Pyruvic acid enters a mitochondrion. Oxygen bonds and takes away a carbon molecule (also loses high energy electrons and a proton ) to form Acetyl Co Enzyme A.
NaDH produces enters the electron transport chain.

23
Q

What happens if oxygen is not present after Glycolysis

A

Pyruvic acid goes towards both animal muscle cells to produce Latic acid(Lactic acid ferminataion) and Alchol fermentation in microorganisms ( to produce Ethanol and CO2.)

24
Q

The difference between Lactic acid ferminataion and Alchol fermentation

A

Lactic acid ferminataion takes place inside animals( broken down in liver ) produces latic acid
Alchol fermentation takes place in micro organisms to produce Ethanol and Co2

25
Q

Where is Latic acid broken down eventually?

A

Liver

26
Q

What is Pyruvate brown down into

A

Acytol co enzyme A

27
Q

What happens to Acytol Co- Enzyme A

A

It enters a series of reactions called the Krebs cycle.

28
Q

What happens in the Krebs cycle

A

Acytol co-A forms a 1 carbon molecule which produces ADP + Phosphate which are convrted into ATP using energy. Energy is released to form high energy electrons which are picked up by NAD+ to form NADH.

29
Q

What is the electron transport system used for?

A

An electron transport chain (ECT) to form ATP from ADP and phosphate

30
Q

Whats the function of ETC

A

To form ATP

31
Q

Where are the electron transferred in the ETC?

A

Mitochondria

32
Q

In the ETC, what does oxygen combine with and what does it form

A

Low energy electrons bond with oxygen molecules (final electron acceptor) and hyfrogen ions to form water which is exhailed as a waste product.

33
Q

What is ATP used for

A

Stores and transfers energy

34
Q

What is NADH used for

A

Needed to transfer hydrogen ions and high energy electrons.

35
Q

Outline the processes in the electron transport chain

A

NaDH carries high energy electrons.These electrons go through a series of reactions / pass along carriers and lose energy. This energy is used tp make ATP from ADP and Phosphate. At the end, these low electrons are bonded with oxygen ( final electron acceptor) and hyfrogen ions to form water,which is exhaled as a waste product. The ETC is used to form ATP

36
Q

What is Biotechnology?

A

Biotechnology uses microrgamisms, plants or animals to manufacture products.

37
Q

What are the products of aerobic respiration?

A

Water, CO2 and ATP

38
Q

What are the products of the krebs cycle

A

NADH, ATP , CO,2
