Terms Definitions
Acetyl CoA)
oxidation loss of electrons
Reactants C6H12C6 & O2
oxidizing agent the electron acceptor
electron transport chain produces 34
Cytochromes proteins that electron carriers between ubiquinone and oxygen
kinase enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation reactions
Aerobic Respiration occurs in mitochondria, requires oxygen, consists of Kreb's Cycle and ETC
SYNTHESIS combining simple substances into more complex substances
NAD+ an electron acceptor for cellular respiration (acts as an oxidative agent)
Stator The anchoring structure of ATP synthesis
reduction addition of electrons to another substance
What are electron transfers called? Redox Reactions
citric acid cycle revieves metabolic by products of proteins
Action Spectrum graph that depicts the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving a particular process
What is the anaerobic process that occurs outside the mitochondria in the cytosol and yields ATP and NADH (pyruvate)? Glycolysis
Pyruvic Acid the three-carbon compound that is produced during glycolysis and needed for both the aerobic and anaerobic pathways of cellular repiration that follow glycolysis
rotor within the membrane, spins when H+ flows down its gradient
Limbo 2 pyruvate (oxidized) + NAD (reduced) --> 2 Acetyl CoA + 2 CO2 + NADH 2 ATP molecules needed for active transport into mitochondrion
Rod The activator of catalytic sites in ATP synthesis
lactate; NAD+ Muscle cells in oxygen deprivation convert pyruvate to _____ and in this step gain _____.
Krebs Cycle takes place within the mitochondrial matrix, and if oxygen is present, this completes the job by decomposing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide
Coenzyme An organic molecule serving as a cofactor (any nonprotein molecule or ion that is required for the proper functioning of an enzyme)
What stages of Respiration can Carbs enter? Glycolysis
many enzymes through respiratory cycle are subject to ___, which is when the product of a reaction inhibits the enzyme catalyzing the reaction feedback inhibition
Cellular Respiration process by which aerobic cells produce energy
Citric Acid Cycle takes place within the mitochondrial matrix, and completes the breakdown of glucose by oxidizing a derivative of pyruvate to carbon dioxide
How does fermentation regenerate NAD+? by reducing organic molecules
proton-motive force H+ gradient made by the electron transport chain
lactic acid fermentation performed by fungi and bacteria (yogurt and cheese); also done by muscle cells when oxygen is low
Photophosphrylation the process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of a proton motive force generated by the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast during the light reactions of photosynthesis
oxidative phosphorylation the process of re-energizing ADP into ATP molecules
ATP synthase A complex of several membrane proteins that provide a port through which protons diffuse. This complex functions in chemiosmosis with adjacent electron transport chains, using the energy of a hydrogen ion concentration gradient to make ATP; found in the inner mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotic cells and the plasma membrane of prokaryotic cells
A substance that donates electrons is said to be a ? Reducing Agent
d. The end products of glycolysis are CO2 and H2O.----True or False? false
2 ATP what is the net ATP product of glycolysis?
What kind of sugar is Pyruvate? a three carbon sugar
phosphorylation The transfer of a phosphate group to a molecule
mitochondrial intermembrane space The electron transport chain energy is used to pump H+ ions into which location?
substrate-level phosphorylation mode of ATP synthesis where a smaller amount of ATP is formed directly in a few reactions of glycolysis and the Krebs cycle by a mechanism; occurs when an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP
Proton pump An active transport protein in a cell membrane that uses ATP to transport hydrogen ions out of a cell against their concentration gradient generating a membrane potential in the process
What mechanism controls Cellular Respiration? Feedback Inhibition (end product inhibits enzyme)
three steps of respiration glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and electron transport
How much is the charge across th inner mitochondrial membrane? 200 mV
electron transport chain used to break fall of electrons to oxygen into several energy-releasing steps instead of one explosive reaction
What kingdom(s) and organelles do ATP Synthase reside? Eukaryotes: Mitochondria and ChlorplastsProkaryotes: PM
What does Krebs cycle require? Pyruvic acidCoenzyme A4 NAD+1 ADP1 FADDouble this
Before the pyruvate can enter the Krebs Cycle/citric acid cycle, what must happen? Pyruvate must be decarboxuiated, oxidized and then the remain two carbon fragments attach to a vitamin called CoA
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) an organic molecule that serves as an electron carrier by being oxidized to ___ and reduced to NADH
What does glycolysis do? glycolysis is the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound.
How does ATP sythetase work? It uses energy from a proton gradient produced as high energy electrons are passed down the electron transport chain.
When hydrogen ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix across the inner membrane and into the intermembrane space, the result is the creation of a proton gradient
How is ATP produced in the Chemiosmosis? through the diffusion of hydrogen ions through the cristae
what is the definiton of glycolysis? the first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is brken into two molecules of pyruvic ced
In substrate level phosphorylation how is ATP formed? ATP is formed by the transferring of a phosphate group directly to ADP from a phosphate bearing intermediate (substrate)
What is The Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)? The Krebs Cycle details what happens to each pyruvate produced at the end of glycolysis. 1. Pyruvate to acetyl CoA (1 NADH + 1 CO2 produced) 2. Krebs Cycle: 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP, CO2 Animals breathe the CO2 out.
