respiration Flashcards
what is phosphorylation
the addition of the phosphate group to a molecule
what is oxidative phosphorylation
during aerobic respiration, where ATP is formed in the electron transport chain
what is substrate level phosphorylation
formation of ATP by the direct transfer of a phosphate group from a reactive intermediate to ATP
what are the 3 coenzymes involved in respiration
NAD
FAD
Coenzyme A
what does Coenzyme A do
transfers acetate between molecules
define dehydrogenation
removal of hydrogen using dehydrogenase enzymes
define decarboxylation
removal of carbon to form CO2 using carboxylase enzymes
what are the four stages of respiration
glycolysis
the link reaction
krebs cycle
e- transport chain
where does glycolysis occur
cytoplasm
where do the last 3 stages of respiration occur (every stage except glycolysis)
mitochondria
structure of mitochondria
outer membrane
inner membrane
intermembrane space
cristae
matrix
