Respiration Flashcards






Respiration Overview:
Brief outline of what happens in glycolysis and where it happens

Respiration Overview
Brief outline of what happens in the link reaction and where it happens

Respiration Overview
Brief outline of what happens in the krebs cycle and where it happens

Respiration Overview:
Brief outline of what happens in oxidative phosphorylation and where it happens





Glycolysis Visualisation
Can you remember (and could you draw) all the stages of glycolysis?
Where is ATP used and where is it produced?
Where is NADH produced etc….



Link Reaction VIsualisation
- Can you remeber (and could you draw) the link reaction showing the reactants and products
- what enzymes are involved







Oxidative Phosphorylation Detail:
Step 1: What happens to NADH and FADH2

Oxidative Phosphorylation Detail:
Step 2: What happens to electrons released from NADH and FADH2

Oxidative Phosphorylation Detail:
Step 3: The energy from electrons moving down the ETC is used to do what? In what direction?

Oxidative Phosphorylation Detail:
Step 4: What happens to all the protons that have built up in the intermembrane space? What is this process called?

Oxidative Phosphorylation Detail:
Step 5: what is the final electron acceptor? What is the reaction that occurs?



6MQ preparation
How is the structure of the mitochondria adapted for carrying out the function of respiration?



Give some reasons why ATP production by the mitochondria isn’t 100% efficient



How many ATP produced per glucose in anaerobic respiration vs aerobic….
Why is this the case?



Compare and Contrast Anaerobic Respiration in YEAST vs MAMMALS
- 2 similarities
- 2 differences
