Step by Step Metabolism Flashcards
Aerobic cellular respiration:
A 6 Carbon Glucose molecules becomes two 3 Carbon Pyruvates
Glycolysis
Metabolic pathway yielding ATP and NADH
Glycolysis
Net gain of ATP in glycolysis but formation of how many total?
2 ATP Net + 2 NADH
4 ATP
Net gain of ATP in Citric acid cycle
1 ATP + 3 NADH + 1 FADH2
Use the electrons for energy needed to pump protons against their concentration gradients into the space beyond the membrane
Carrier proteins
Oxidative phosphorylation produces how many atp
34
electron carriers in the electron transport chain
cytochromes
The actual mechanism for ATP synthesis comes from the pumping of proteins through a process called ___
chemiosmosis
with a large membrane-spanning enzyme complex called ___, which has a binding site for ATP and P. As the protons rush through this channel, they release energy.
ATP synthase
How many atp can be produced from 1 molecule of glucose
38 molecules
Enzymes then convert many amino acids to pathway components by removing the amino group and substituting a carbonyl group.
deamination
extremely valuable energy sources because their chemical bonds contain enormous amounts of chemical energy.
Fats
For the fatty acids, there is a complex series of conversions called ___, in which each long chain fatty acid is broken by enzymes into 2-carbon units.
beta-oxidation
is the enzymatic process for producing ATP using endogenous organic compounds as both electron donors and acceptors.
Fermentation
Steps of photosynthesis (2)
photophosphorylation - receive light through chlorophyll A
carbon-fixing reactions - carbon is trapped (calvin cycle)
