Respiration Flashcards
what is catabolic pathway
it involves the breakdown of molecules to release energy.
what is anabolic pathway
Anabolic pathways involve the creation of molecules to create more complex molecules
what plays a big role in metabolic pathways
the transfer of electron as it releases energy which is stored in the compound which is used to synthesise ATP.
how do organic compound posses energy
due to the arrangement of electrons in their bonds,
what is fermentation
the partial degradation of sugar without the usage of oxygen
T or F that eukaryotic and prokaryotic oragnisms can carry aerobic and anaerobic respiration
T
is the breakdown of glucose exorgenic
yes, it is sponatneous G<0
what is oxidised in aerobic respiartion
Glucose to form co2
what happens in respiration
the oxidation of glucose transfers electron to lower energy state which realeses energy which is used to make ATP.
do electrons travel with hydrogen
yes in the form of hydrogen atoms
where are hydrogen atoms passed to
nAD
why is the coenenzyme NAD suited for electron carrier
brcsuse it can transform NADH and NAD and vice versa
NAD acts as an oxidising agent in respiration
True
what does the enzyme dehydrogenase do
they remove a paor of hydrogen atoms H
where is electron transport chain located for eukaryotes
inner membrane of mitocondria
where is electron transport chain present in prokaryotes
plasma membrane
what is the summary of cellular respiration
glucose->NADH->electron transport-> oxygen
is glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and citric acid catabolic pathway
Yes
outline the respiratory sequence
glycolysis is where glucose is phosphorylated by 2ATP causing the molecule to become reactive and to form 2 trios phosphates. next the triose phosphate will become oxidised forming 2molecules of pyruvate. NAD collects the hydrogen ion to form NADH, 4 atp produced but net 2ATP.
where does cytric cycle/ krebs cycle occur for eukarytic and prokarytoc cell
for eukarytes it is in matrix of mitocondria and for prokarytic in the cytoplasm
where does link reaction occur for prokaryotes
in the cytoplaasm
does oxidative phosphorqylation account for 90% of ATP
Yes
