Where in the cell does glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
During glycolysis, what molecule loses electrons and becomes oxidized?
glucose
The electrons from glucose are picked up by an electron acceptor called NAD+, which becomes an electron carrier called
NADH
During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into what molecule?
pyruvic acid
How many molecules of ATP are made in glycolysis?
A net of 2 ATPs, because 2 ATPs are used and 4 ATPs are made
If oxygen is present, what step comes after glycolysis?
Krebs Cycle
If oxygen is not present, what step comes after glycolysis?
Fermentation
Before pyruvic acid enters the Krebs Cycle, what does it turn into?
acetyl CoA
Where in the mitochondria does the Krebs Cycle take place?
mitochondrial matrix
How many times does the Krebs Cycle turn for one glucose molecule?
2
What product of cellular respiration is produced in the Krebs Cycle?
carbon dioxide
How many carbon dioxide molecules are made for one turn of the Krebs Cycle?
2
How many ATPs are made for one turn of the Krebs Cycle?
1
What are the names of the 2 electron carriers made in the Krebs Cycle?
NADH and FADH2
all the things that are made in the Krebs Cycle
electron carriers
CO2
ATP
Where in the mitochondria does the electron transport chain occur?
inner membrane (cristae)
NADH and ___ pass their electrons down an electron transport chain
FADH2
Where did the electrons that enter the electron transport chain originally come from?
glucose
What molecule is the final acceptor of the electrons?
oxygen
Oxygen accepts the electrons and combines with H+ ions to become what molecule?
water
As electrons are being passed down, what is being pumped across the membrane to where there is more of them?
protons
This proton gradient is created by what ion being actively transported across the membrane?
H+
The increase in protons (H+) causes them to diffuse down what enzyme?
ATP synthase
This flow of hydrogen ions into ATP synthase is known as
chemiosmosis
all the things that ATP synthase does when hydrogen ions diffuse into it.
phosphorylates ADP
creates ATP
attaches a phosphate to ADP
what happens when attaches a phosphate to ADP?
Forms ATP
What is the name of the process where NADH & FADH2 loses their electrons (and becomes oxidized) and passes them along the chain, ultimately causing a phosphate to be added to ADP to create ATP (phosphorylation)?
oxidative phosphorylation
When your muscles don't get enough oxygen, what process do they do?
lactic acid fermentation
What are the 2 Types of Fermentation (Anaerobic Respiration)
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Alcohol Fermentation
What does Fermentatation do?
Produce ATP
Anarobic
no oxygen needed
arobic
Oxygen needed
Yeast are facultative anaerobes. When oxygen is present, they do cellular respiration. When oxygen is not present, they do
alcohol fermentation
type of fermentation that recycle their NADH to NAD+ while converting pyruvate to CO2 and ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
Alcohol Fermentation
Fermentation that regenerate NAD+, as pyruvate is converted to lactic acid.
Lactic Acid Fermentation.
What is the name of the structure that is beige?
inner membrane (cristae)
What is the name of the structure that is blue?
mitochondrial matrix
What is the name of the structure that is dark brown?
outer membrane
When a chemical reaction releases energy, it is an reaction
exergonic
reactions, energy is absorbed
endergonic
What type of reaction is photosynthesis? (exergonic/endergonic)
Endergonic
what type of reaction is when woodf is burning and releases energy as heat and light? (exergonic/endergonic)
exergonic
ATP hydrolysis is an exergonic reaction because
the 3rd phosphate breaks off, releasing energy
The energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called
activation energy
All the things that enzymes do
-speed up chemical reactions
-lower the activation energy
-bind substrates to its active site
-turn substrates into products
What part of the enzyme causes it to have a specific shape that only binds to a specific substrate?
the R groups of the amino acids of the enzyme
What happen when a substrate binds to an enzyme?
-it binds at the enzyme's active site.
-the substrate turns into a product.
-the active site changes shape slightly to make it a more snug fit (induced fit).
-it form a substrate-enzyme complex
When an enzyme is exposed to extreme temperature or pH changes, it
Denatured
True or False:
During feedback inhibition, the product becomes a non-competitive inhibitor and changes the shape of the enzyme so that it doesn't produce more products
True
Do plants use cellular respiration?
Yes, Plants need ATP to do work and grow
During cellular respiration, electrons from glucose are transferred to oxygen as bonds break and form
The movement of electrons from one molecule to another
oxidation-reduction reaction
The lost of electrons is called?
oxidation
the gaining of electrons is called?
reduction
Three main propcess of Cellular respiration in order
glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain
How many ATP does glycolysis produce?
2 ATP
How many ATP does the Krebs cycle produce?
2 ATP
How many ATP does the electron transport chain produce?
34 ATP
A compound called coenzyme A attaches to the 2 carbons, forming a molecule called
acetyl-Coenzyme A.
In every energy transfer/chemical reaction, some amount of energy is lost as heat and not usable
Energy input must be higher than energy loss in order to maintain order and perform cellular processes
Second Law of Thermodynamics
a measure of disorder, and high entropy means high disorder and low energy
Entropy
