28
Q

how does the pyruvate go into the mitochondrion for the link?

A

active transport

29
Q

what reaction turns glucose to GP and hexose biphosphate?

A

phosphorylation (ATP goes to ADP)

30
Q

what reaction turns TP pyruvic acid?

A

oxidation ( loss of hydrogen to make NAD into NADH)

31
Q

where does the link reaction take place?

A

the mitochondrial matrix

32
Q

what are the products of the link reaction?

A

2 CO2 and 2 NADH per glucose

33
Q

describe the link reaction

A

pyruvate is dehydrogenised and decarboxylated to form acetate, acetate combines with coA to form actetyl coA

34
Q

what is dehydrogynation?

A

loss of hydrogen (H+)

35
Q

what is decarboxylation?

A

loss of carbon atom

36
Q

where does the krebs cycle happen?

A

mitochondrial matrix

37
Q

how is the 6 carbon compound formed?

A

acetyl coA (2 carbon) combines with a 4C compound

38
Q

draw out krebs and check against notes

A

(insert picture)

39
Q

what is substrate level phosphorylation?

A

creation of ATP without ATP synthase, phosphate is added from another molecule

40
Q

what are the products of the krebs cycle? (per cycle)

A

3 x NADH, 1 x ATP, 1 x FADH, 2 x CO2

41
Q

where does oxidative phosphorylation take place?

A

cristae

42
Q

describe oxidative phosphorylation

A

e- and H+ are released from reduced coenzymes (eg) NADH), electrons flow along the ETC in a series of redox reactions, electrons release energy that pumps H+ into the intermembrane space, H+ flow down the proton gradient through ATP Synthase which phosphorylate ADP to make ATP. O2 is the final electron accepter and makes water.
