Respiration Flashcards
definition of autotrophs
organisms that use inorganic carbon source in form of co2
definition of heterotrophs
organisms need a ready made organic supply of carbon
what is ATP used for
synthesis of polysaccharides/lipids/polypeptides
active transport
muscle contraction
electrical discharge
definition of coenzyme
carrier of substances that bind to enzyme
definition of cofactor
non protein that binds to enzyme
what anabolic processes is ATP used for
making proteins
make triglycerides/nucleotides
order of processes in respiration
glycolysis
link reaction
krebs cycle
oxidative phosphorylation
which reaction occurs in cytoplasm
glycolysis
describe glycolysis
lysis of glucose phosphorylated by ATP raises energy level form fructose biphosphate form two triose phosphates hydrogen removed by NAD NADH formed pyruvate formed small yield of ATP
what is the over use of ATP in glycolysis
2
how many NAD is reduced in glycolysis
2
how is ATP formed
substrate level phosphorylation
which reactions occurs in mitochondrial matrix
link reaction
krebs cycle
describe link reaction
pyruvate is decarboxylated + dehydrogenated
combined with coenzyme A
form acetyl coenzyme A
what is coenzyme A to amade of
adenine + ribose + vitamin
