Respiration (Quiz 2) Flashcards
respiration =
conversion of “food” (carbon based) to energy currency
aerobic respiration consists of
4 (actually more) basic steps
4 steps of aerobic respiration:
& where they occur
- ) glycolysis (cytoplasm)
- ) formation of acetyl CoA (matrix of mitochondria)
- ) Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle (matrix of mitochondria)
- ) ETC (inner membrane of mitochondria)
because glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm
it is an ancient process
glycolysis is not
a cycle
1st 1/2 of glycolysis =
glucose (6c) + 2 atp –> 2 G3P (3c molecules)
“G3P” aka
“glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate”
2nd 1/2 of glycolysis =
2 G3P –> 2 Pyruvate + 4 atp + 2 NADH
G3P is a product of
the Calvin cycle
glycolysis atp production
produces 4
uses 2
therefore, 2 net atp produce
glycolysis intermediates
3 phosphoglycerate
1, 3-biphosphoglycerate
glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
G3P (from Calvin cycle) is used to make
glucose, sucrose, etc
at the end of glycolysis
pyruvate is transported to mitochondria
1st stage of aerobic part of respiration
formation of acetyl CoA
formation of acetyl CoA occurs
in the mitochondrial matrix
