Q

equation for aerobic respiration?

word and number

A

Q

can an aerobic respiration reaction be reversed?

A

yes

  • use energy from food to ‘recharge’ ATP
17
Q

wheredoes aerobic respiration happen?

A

mitochondria

18
Q

where does anaerobic respiration happen?

19
Q

OILRIG

A

Oxidastion is loss, Reduction is gain

20
Q

hydrogen is on par with what happens to electrons here

what else could happens in Oxidation?

A
  • loses Hydrogen
  • could gain some Oxygen
21
Q

hydrogen is on par with what happens to electrons here

What else could happens in reduction

A
  • gain Hydrogen
  • Could lose some Oxygen
22
Q

where does glycolysis happen?

23
Q

whats the aim of the link reaction

A
  • to take 2 pyruvate in to mitochondria
24
Q

Aerobic respiration is a chain of reactions.
name the different reactions that happen

A
  • glycolysis
  • link reaction
  • Kreb’s cycle
  • Electron chain reaction
25
Q

which part of the aerobic respiration processes makes ATP

A
  • Electron chain reaction
26
Q

what does glycolysis do?
does it need Oxygen?

A
  • splits the respirstory substrate (glucose) into smaller molecules so it can enter th mitochondria through the link reaction
27
Q

what are the 2 stages of glycolysis called

A
  • phosphorylation
  • oxidation
28
Q

whats happens in phosphorylation?
simple

A
  • energy is used to make adjustments so that the 6-C molecule can be split evenly intotwo 3-C pyruvate molecules
29
Q

whats happens in Oxidation in glycolysis?
Simple

A
  • ATP and nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) are produced
30
Q

products of Glycolysis?

A
  • 2x NADH
  • 2x ATP
  • 2x pyruvate molecules
31
Q

where does the NADH from glycolysis and the liunk reaction go to?

A
  • electron transfer chain
32
Q

what are the products of the link reaction and waht goes where

A
  • 2x NADH (goes to ETC)
  • 2x CO2 (waste product)
  • 2x Acetal CoA (coenzyme A) - (goes into the Kreb’s cycle)
33
Q

glycolysis steps + names of molecules:

A
  • 6C sugar -> Phosphorylation -> Glucose 6-phosphate-> lysis-> 2x 3C sugar (Glycerate 3-phosphate -> 2xpyruvate
34
Q

Link reaction steps + names of molecules and use:

A
  • decarboxylation -> oxidation -> addityion of CoA
  • 2 pyruvate -> Decarboxylation -> Oxidation -> Acetyl grp -> add CoA
  • -> Acetyl CoA

CoA is needed to carry acetyl grp into Krebs Cycle

35
Q

Where does Link reaction Happen

36
Q
