Respiration Flashcards
Metabolic processes requiring energy
Active transport Endocytosis, exocytosis Anabolism Replication of DNA, synthesis of organelles Movement of cilia, flagella Muscle contractions Activation of glucose
Respiration
Oxidation of organic matter to release energy
The energy stored in organic molecules is used to make ATP
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Coenzyme that helps dehydrogenase molecules oxidise organic molecules.
Adenine ribose
2 phosphates
Nicotinamide ribose
Nicotinamide is synthesis from vitamin B3, the ring accepts hydrogen atoms
Type of phosphorylation
Where
Energy source
Aerobic/ anaerobic
Adaptations of the matrix
Looped mitochondrial DNA to code for enzymes
Ribosomes
Enzymes to catalyse the link reaction and the kerbs cycle
Coenzyme NAD and oxaloacetate
The inner membrane
Impermeable to most small ions
Folded into many cristae for a large SA
Many electron carriers and ATP synthase enzymes are embedded in it
Link reaction
Pyruvate dehydrogenase Pyruvate carboxylase Acetate coA Acetyl coenzymeA to Krebs Reduced NAD
