Q

Special proteins called enzymes are able to catalyze (or speed up) the condensation reaction between specific ____ groups of certain monosaccharides to produce disaccharides
Usually, the reaction occurs between
the OH group on carbon 1 of one molecule and
carbon __ of another monosaccharide to give
either the alpha1-4 glycosidic linkage or beta1-4 glycosidic linkage

Q

Polysaccharides are the structures that form
when many_______ are linked together

A

monosaccharides

17
Q

_____ is the storage
polysaccharide that is found in all photosynthetic
plants and is made up of alpha1-4 glycosidic linkages between alpha-glucose monomers

A

Starch,

18
Q

The two types of starch include two types of
polysaccharides

A

unbranched amylose and
branched amylopectin

These differences in
structure vary only based on the interactions
between neighboring carbon atoms of each
glucose monomer, in amylopectin the branches
form by glycosidic linkages between the carbon 1
of one glucose molecule and carbon 6 of another.
It is often these starches that we consume and
use as energy in our own bodies. When
starches are consumed, we store the digested
carbohydrates as highly branched glycogen
polysaccharide helices

19
Q

During cellular respiration,
sugar molecules are processed through (How many steps?) that result in the synthesis of ATP

A

4

20
Q

given cell only contains enough ATP to fuel about__ seconds to a minute of cellular activity

A

30

21
Q

During the first step of glucose processing,_______ results in the production of 2 molecules of a 3-carbon compound called _____ for each molecule of glucose. Glycolysis occurs in the ____ of the cell and leads to the production of 2
molecules of ATP and 2____ molecules that
act as electron donors

A

glycolysis, pyruvate, cytosol, NADH

22
Q

Following glycolysis,
pyruvate is processed to form a compound called _____, which is now free to enter into the
mitochondrial matrix of the mitochondria, while
also producing carbon dioxide and NADH

A

acetyl CoA

23
Q

Once in the mitochondrial matrix, the acetyl CoA is
further processed in the Krebs cycle, producing
ATP, carbon dioxide and additional electron
donors in the form of____ and_____

A

NADH, FADH2

24
Q

What are 4 steps of Cellular respiration?

A

glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

25
Q

first 3 steps of glucose
processing, it appears that there is not a whole lot
of ____ synthesized

A

ATP

26
Q

electron donors are used in the electron transport chain present in the inner mitochondrial
membranes or cristae, to produce another__
molecules of ATP

A

32

27
Q

As a result, for every glucose
molecule that we process in our cells, we
produce __ theoretical ATP, with negligible
amounts coming from glycolysis and the Krebs
cycle and most ATP forming when the electron
donors NADH and FADH2 move through the
protein complexes of the electron transport chain
residing in the extensive inner mitochondrial
membranes

A

36,

28
Q

Carbohydrates are not the only source of energy
that can be used to make ATP. ____ and____ that are consumed as part of our diet can
also be converted to components that enter into
the cellular respiration pathway and lead to the
production of ATP

A

Proteins and
lipids

29
Q

In which order macormolcules can contribute to ATP?

A

carbohydrates are metabolized first,
followed by fats and then proteins

30
Q

What is the structure of ATP?

A

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
consists of 3 phosphate groups attached to a
ribose sugar and an adenine. The 3 phosphate
groups have 4 negative charges in close
proximity, so these negatively charged phosphate
groups repel each other giving the electrons of
the phosphate groups a very high potential
energy and are the source of the potential energy
in this molecule

31
Q

Where can be potenial energy of ATP be released and harnessed?

A

during a
hydrolysis reaction, where ATP can react with
water, breaking the bond between the outermost
phosphate group and its neighbour, resulting in
the formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate.
The hydrolysis of ATP is a highly exergonic (release energy)
reaction
