Q

What are four stages of respiration called? what are the two types of anaerobic respiration and their stages?

A

AEROBIC

1) glycolysis
2) link reaction
3) krebs cycle
4) oxidative phosphorylation

ANAEROBIC

1) alcoholic fermentation= pyruvate–> CO2+ Ethanal 2C— H2 from NADH2—> Ethanol
2) lactic acid fermentation= Pyruvate– H2 from NADH2–> Lactic acid 3C

Q

What are the five stages of glycolysis?

A

GLUCOSE 6C ————(ATP–>ADP)—> GLUCOSE PHOSPHATE 6C ——(ATP—>ADP)—> GLUCOSE BISPHOSPHATE 6C——(splits)—> 2 TRIOSE PHOSPHATE 3C ———-(NAD–>NADH2) & (ADP+Pi—>ATP)——-> 2 PYRUVATE 3C

Q

What are the steps involved in the link reaction?

A

PYRUVATE 3C ———— (CO2 removed by decarboxylase) ———- (NAD—> NADH2 by dehydrogenase) ———> Acetyl—— (co-enzyme A) —–> Acetyl Co- enzyme A 2C

Q

What are the steps in the krebs cycle? (6 substrates)

A

Acetyl Co- enzyme A transports acetyl to the cycle
Joins before first 6C ( citric acid)
6C (citric acid)– CO2, NADH2–> 5C– CO2, NADH2–> 4C– ATP–> 4C–FAD–> 4C–> NAD–> 4C (oxaloactetate)– 6C ( citric acid)

Q

Describe the process of oxidative phosphorylation

A

NADH2 and FADH2 move to electron transport chain, H atoms removed producing high energy electrons and protons
ETC
-move from one carrier to next
- e- arrives= reduced, e- leaves= oxidised
- energy released as e leaves
- at end oxygen picks up electrons and H
+ to form water
(1/2 O2)+ (2H+)+ (2e-)–> H2O
CHEMIOSMOSIS
- synthesis of ATP by flow of protons across membrane down electrochemical gradient through stalked particles and ATP synthase
- use electrical energy to phosphorylate ATP

Q

What do hydrogen acceptors do?

A

Co-enzymes that have to be present for dehydrogenase to work
Dehydrogenase catalyses removal of H2 from substrate —> NAD/ FAD
Dehydrogenated= oxidised
Hydrogenated= reduced
