Oxidation of glucose

O2 is the terminal electron acceptor

O2 is in the oxidized form and becomes reduced

O2 is strong oxidizer H2O is the reduced form of O2

New cards

NADH

2e- transfers

Typically catabolic

oxidation reactions

4
New cards

NADPH

2e- transfers

typically anabolic

reduction reactions

5
New cards

reduced molecules and free energy

more reduced sub stances, when they are oxidized, produce a larger free energy change

6
New cards

When K<1

More reactants than products

Adenylate Energy Charge

If all of the adenylate is ATP, energy charge = 1

If all of the adenylate is AMP, energy charge = 0

Energy charge is typically ~0.93
