Respiration Flashcards
Respiration releases the energy stored in carbon compounds for cellular use, and generates – for biosynthesis
carbon precursors
Glycolysis - oxidize sugars involves reactions carried out by soluble enzymes in the –
cytosol and in the plastid
Sucrose is split into –
glucose and fructose and UDP-glucose
glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate –> triose phosphates called
glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Triose phosphates are oxidized to
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) → pyruvate
additional end product to pyruvate
malate
anaerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is unavailable such as in –
roots in flooded soils
fermentation occurs in
cytosol
fermentation – pyruvate to convert NADH to NAD+
reduce
fermentation results in – ATP per sucrose rather than 60 if citric acid cycle

Alternative to glycolysis for oxidizing sugars
pentose phosphate pathway
pentose phosphate pathway contributes more when plant cells become –
fully differentiated
PPP: Contributes more when plant cells become –
fully differentiated
6-carbon glucose-6-phosphate is oxidized to the 5-carbon ribulose-5-phosphate, releasing – and generating –
releasing CO2 and generating NADPH
Ribulose-5-phosphate is converted into –
3- to 7- carbon sugars
Inhibited by the accumulation of its products,
fructose-6-phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
fructose-6-phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate are formed in chloroplast as part of the – cycle to produce ribulose
Calvin
Reactions of citric acid cycle are carried out by enzymes in –
matrix of mitochondria
= inner mitochondrial membrane
succinate dehydrogenase
citric acid cycle: Pyruvate is oxidized completely to CO2 → – = reducing power
NADH and FADH2
Pyruvate is decarboxylated by – → CO2, NADH and acetyl-CoA
pyruvate dehydrogenase
after pyruvate is decarboxylated, – occur (with additional CO2 release) and NADH, ATP, and FADH2 are generated
oxidative decarboxylation
where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
inner mitochondrial membrane
– remove H+, pumping these into the intermembrane space,
NADH dehydrogenases
NADH dehydrogenases move electrons to –, a small lipid-soluble electron and proton carrier
ubiquinone
succinate dehydrogenase from the citric acid cycle also transfers electrons to the –
ubiquinone pool
Electrons are then transferred to the cytochrome bc1 complex and to –
cytochrome oxidase
chemiosmotic gradient of H+ in the intermembrane space versus the matrix drives the generation of ATP from ADP by the –
F0F1-ATP synthase,
F0F1-ATP synthase, which is attached to the – side of the inner membrane
matrix
Respiration – with flooding of roots
decreases
ducts in the shoot conducting air to the root
aerenchyma
