Unit 2 Test Flashcards
Cellular respiration
catabolic pathway that breaks down energy rich compounds to produce ATP
takes place in both animal and plant cells
Aerobic respiration
catabolic pathway that requires oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
catabolic pathway in the absence of oxygen
Two ways ATP is produced
SLP - ATP formation from transferring a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP
Oxidative Phosphorylation - couples oxidation of NADH and FADH2 by ETC to form a proton gradient to power phosphorylation and ATP formation
Cellular Respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
Location of States of Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis - cytosol
Pyruvate oxidation - mitochondrial matrix
Kreb’s Cycle - mitochondrial matrix
ETC/Chemiosmosis (Oxidative Phosphorylation) - across the inner mitochondrial membrane
Glycolysis
The metabolic pathway that breaks glucose down into pyruvate
cytoplasm
anaerobic
net gain of 2 ATP
2 NADH
Draw glycolysis
1) Energy investment
2) Cleavage
3) Energy Pay off
After glycolysis
If oxygen is available –> PO, Kreb’s, ETC/Chemiosmosis
If oxygen is absent –> Anaerobic Respiration/Fermentation
Draw/explain PO
- carboxyl group removed from pyruvate (decarboxylation)
- redox reaction - NAD+ to NADH
- Coenzyme A added to acetyl to produce Acetyl-CoA
Draw/explain Kreb’s
Mitochondrial matrix
Aerobic
acetyl co A, citrate, isocitrate, ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate oxaloacetate
Yield per glucose from Kreb’s
6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, 4 CO2
ETC
NADH oxidized
FADH2 oxidized
electrochemical gradient
final electron acceptor
Chemiosmosis
H+ enters the matrix from high to low concentration via ATP synthase
energy from the electrochemical gradient used to create ATP
Oxidative phosphorylation NADH and FADH2 to ATP
1 NADH –> 3 ATP
1 FADH2 –> 2 ATP
