Unit Three Flashcards
What is cellular respiration
Process in which cells consume O2 and produce CO2
What are the three majors stages of cellular respiration
Acetyl CoA production, acetyl CoA oxidation, electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation
Acetyl Co A production generates what
ATP, NADH, FADH2
Acetyl co A oxidation generates
NADH, FADH2, and one GTP
Oxidative phosphorylation generates a lot of
ATP
Glycolysis occurs where
Cytoplasm
Citric acid cycle occurs where
Mitochondrial matrix
What part of the citric acid cycle occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria
Succinct enough dehydrogenase
Oxidative phosphorylation occurs where
Inner mitochondrial matrix
What is the net reaction of conversion of pyruvate to acetyl co a
Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, first carbons of glucose to be fully oxidized
Site of conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Co-A
Mitochondrial matrix
What catalyze the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl Co A
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
What is the only reaction with C-C bond formation
Citrate synthase
What does citrate synthase do
Condensation of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate
Citrate synthase uses what type of catalysis
Acid/Base
