x2 mo sila since 2 Pyr yung naproduce during glycolysis)

25
Q

kreb cycle net gain

A

s 3 NADH, 1 FADH, 1 GDP and 2 𝐢𝑂2 (x2 ulit
kase 2 CoA yung naproduce natin dun sa synthesis of CoA)

26
Q

kreb cycle electron carrier of kreb cycle

A

FADH and NADH

27
Q

Most of the ATP made inn cellular respiration come from the
stepwise release of energy through a series of redox
reactions between molecules known as the

A

electron
transport chain

28
Q

where does etc occur

A

Most occur in a membrane. The ETC is located in cristae of
mitochondria in eukaryotes.

in prokaryotes, ETC happens in plasma membrane

29
Q

etc net gain

A
  • 1 NADH = 3ATP, 1 FADH = 2ATP

A

anaerobic cellular respiration

33
Q

alternative system that allows glycolysis to continue
without the other steps of respiration

35
Q

The carbon atoms required to synthesize glucose are
derived from the intermediated produced during glycolysis
and the Krebs’s cycle and from lipids or amino acids

A

polysaccharide biosynthesis is

A

genome size

38
Q

genome size

A
  • In general, free-living bacteria have longer genomes and
    more genes than bacteria that are obligate parasites
  • Bacteria thriving inside a human has a shorter genome
39
Q

he genetic composition of the organism

A

genotype

40
Q

when DNA is passed
from mother to offspring cell, this is what happened in
nature the vast majority of the time.

A

vertical gene transfer

41
Q

HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER

A

transduction, transformation and conjugation

42
Q

Uses bacterial viruses called
bacteriophages, to transfer from 1
infected cell to another

A

transduction

43
Q

It is the ability of some cells to take up
free floating DNA found in the
environment,

A

transformation

44
Q

Allows for the transfer of DNA through a
structure called a pilus from one cell to
another

A

conjugation

45
Q

This is done by copying the plasmid and sending the strand
of copied DNA to the recipient through the conjugation
pilus

A

plasmid transfer

46
Q

two live bacterial cells must
come into direct contact with one another.

A

conjugation

47
Q

final result of plasmid transfer

A

The final result is a copy of the plasmid in both the donor
and the recipient cell

48
Q

hollow, pipe-like structure that
connects the cytoplasm of the donor cell to the cytoplasm
of the recipient cell.

A

conjugation pilus

49
Q

Only a portion of the chromosome is transferred before the
conjugation pilus is detached

A

chromosme transfer

50
Q

is the ability of some cells (competent cells; more on gram
positive) to take up free floating DNA found in the
environment (DNA contents from the destroyed bacteria)

A

transformation

51
Q

The DNA either has to be incorporated into the host cell
DNA chromosome (via genetic recombination: mix and
match to the genes of bacteria) or it ends up being
degraded

A

transformation

52
Q
  • Types of Bacteriophages:
A

virulent and temperate

53
Q

Uses the bacterium as a viral synthesis
factory

A

virulent bacteriophage

54
Q

β–ͺ They break down the bacterial cell
machinery to produce more phages
β–ͺ Progeny phages are released from the
bacterium as the cell lyse

A

virlent bacteriophage

55
Q

β–ͺ Phage genome may integrate into the
bacterial chromosome as a prophage
β–ͺ Bacteria that contain a prophage are said
to be lysogenic for that phage.

A

temperate bacteriophage

56
Q
  • During this process, the bacteriophage chops up the host
    chromosome into many small fragments.
  • When the baby bacteriophage are being assembled, some
    of these host DNA chunks can accidentally be packed into
    the new viral particles
  • They are then carried to a new host cell, where they are
    injected and can cause genetic recombination.

bacterial DNA chromosome
