LS7A cellular respiration & photosynthesis

oxidation definition

losing electrons & hydrogen

reduction definition

gaining electron & hydrogen

oxidation/reduction AGENT is the:

product of the redox reaction

does reduction or oxidized agent have more free energy

reduced because it gains electrons

reduction is endergonic or exergonic

endergonic bc its gaining energy

oxidation is endergonic or exergonic

exergonic bc its losing energy

where does glycolysis occur

cytoplasm

products of glycolysis

2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate

where does pyruvate oxidation occur

mitochondria

what is pyruvate converted into

Acetyl CoA

when is CO2 created in cellular respriation

pyruvate oxidation

what are the reduced electron carriers

NADH & FADH2

what does the electron transport chain do

pumps protons and transfers electrons

why does pyruvate need to be reduced?

to allow NADH to be reduced back to NAD+ so glycolysis can happen again

what is pyruvate oxidation metabolizing?

glucose

what happens to carbon in pyruvate oxidation?

1 carbon is partially oxidized, rest are used to form acetyl-CoA

what happens if rubisco is inhibited?

ATP production will decrease bc ATP is required for activation of rubisco
