Q

Electron Transport Oxidative Phosphorylation

A
  • energy in NADH and FADH2 is used to phosphorylation ADP (endergonic)
  • oxidation provides energy for phosphorylation - occurs on the inner membrane of mitochondria
  • each NADH produces 3 ATP
  • each FADH2 produces 2 ATP

Q

Chemiosmotic Coupling

A
  • part of Electron Transport
  • discovered by Mitchell
  1. Proton gradient - as NADH and FADH2 are oxidized H+ are pumped out of the matrix via active transport - this happens in the matrix of mitochondria - powered via oxidation of NADH and FADH2
  2. ATP Synthetase - enzyme complex on the inner membrane - phosphorylates ADP to build ATP as H+ flow through facilitated transport

Q

ATP Production (Aerobic) Per single glulcose

Reaction : NADH/FADH2 : ATP

A

Glycolysis : 2/0 : 2 net

Transition: 2/0 : 0

Kreb’s : 6/2 : 2

Electron Transport : 10NADH x 3 = 30 ATP / 2FADH x 2 = 4 ATP

= 34 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation

+ 4 ATP via substrate level phosphorylation

Total = 38 ATP / Glucose

17
Q

Explain why the amount of ATP produced in cellular respiration varies between 36 and 38.

A

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, while Transition, Kreb’s, and Electron Transport occur in mitochondria. The transfer of energy between locations accounts for the variation in the amount of ATP produced (36-38)

18
Q

What are the two major processes that occur in the metabolic pool?

A
  1. Catabolism of lipids and proteins

2. Biosynthesis

19
Q

Describe the biological importance of catabolism of lipids and proteins in the metabolic pool

A
  • To metabolize fats and proteins to build ATP

- They enter cellular respiration as intermediate compounds

20
Q

Describe biosynthesis and the biological importance of it in the metabolic pool

A
  • an anabolic activity
  • favored when caloric intake exceeds your caloric output
  1. Energy Storage - excess calories are stored as glycogen and fat
  2. Amino Acid Synthesis - synthesizes nonessential amino acids.
21
Q

The difference between essential and nonessential amino acids

A

Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the metabolic pool. They are required in your diet.

Nonessential amino acids are synthesized in the metabolic pool

22
Q

Obligate Anaerobe and example

A

A type of organism that requires an O2 free environment to metabolize

  1. Clostridium sp. - bacterium that causes tetany = puncture wounds (necrosis)
23
Q

Facultative Anaerobe and example

A

A type of organism that switch to fermentation under anaerobic conditions = brewing

  1. Yeast
24
Q

Obligate Aerobe and example

A

A type of organism where O2 must be present for cellular respiration

  1. Mycobacterium sp.
