Respiration Flashcards
what is respiration
process that occurs in living cells and releases the energy stored in organic molecules
anabolic reactions
where large molecules are synthesised from smaller molecules
catabolic
involving hydrolysis of large molecules to smaller ones
ATP
the standard intermediary (energy currency molecule) between energy-releasing and energy-consuming metabolic reactions in eukaryotic and prokaryotic, releases energy in small manageable amounts
respiration equation
glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + ATP
glycolysis
a 10 stage biochemical pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of all living organisms that respire, including prokaryotes converting glucose to pyruvate
4 stages of respiration
glycolysis, link reaction, krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
when does glycolysis occur
in aerobic and anaerobic respiration
what does NAD/FAD do
carry the hydrogen to the ETC on the cristae
what does CoA do
carries the acetyl group into the Krebs cycle
where is oxaloacetate found
mitochondrial matrix
how many turns of the krebs cycle for every molecule of glucose
2
chemiosmosis
the flow of protons down their concentration gradient across a membrane through ATP synthase enzymes- the force of flow allows production of ATP
final electron acceptor in OP
molecular oxygen
how do fungi and plants reoxidise NADH during anaerobic respiration
ethanol fermentation pathway
