respiration Flashcards
what is oxidative phosphorylation
occurs on inner membrane of mitochondria in aerobic respiration
energy for ATP synthesis comes from oxidation reduction reactions
what is photophosphorylation
occurs on thylakoid membranes in light dependedant stage of photosynthesis
energy for making atp comes from light and is released as transfer of electrons
what is substrate level phosphorylation
occurs when phosphate groups are transferred from donor molecules
what Is aerobic respiration
the release of large amounts of energy made available as ATP from the breakdown of molecules with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor
what is anaerobic respiration
the breakdown of molecules in the absence of oxygen releasing small amounts of energy and a small amount of ATP through substrate level phosphorylation
where does glycolysis happen and what does it produce
occurs in solution in the cytoplasm and generates pyruvate, ATP and reduced NAD
Where does the link reaction occur and what does it produce
in solution in the mitochondrial matrix
pyruvate is converted into acetyl coenzyme A , reduced NAD and co2
where does the kreb cycle occur and what does it produce
in solution in the mitochondrial matrix and generates co2 and reduced NAD and FAD
Where does the electron transport chain take place and what does it produce
on the Cristae of the inner mitochondrial membrane
energy from protons and electrons makes ATP from ADP and pi
