Respiration Flashcards
What is ATP
Energy rich molecule which releases energy when hydrolysed
Short term energy store
What are the two main forms of phosphorylation
- Photosynthetic phosphorylation
2. Oxidative phosphorylation
What does the hydrolysis of ATP form and what is the name of the enzyme that does this
ADP + Pi (phosphate)
ATPase
What are some important features of ATP
Immediate energy source
Transported easily
Small amounts
Single reaction - fine control
What is the chemical equation for respiration
See notes
Draw glycolysis
See notes
Draw the link reaction
See notes
Draw the kreb cycle
See notes
Where does the kreb cycle take place
The matrix of mitochondrion
Where does glycolysis take place
In cell cytoplasm
Draw the electron transport chain
See notes
How many ATP are produced per glucose
38
When lipids are hydrolysed what do they form
Glycerol and fatty acids
When proteins are hydrolysed what do they form
Amino acids
Where do lipids enter in respiration
Kreb cycle
Intermediate in glycolysis
