Redox Reactions

chemical reactions where electrons are transferred from one molecule to another

2
New cards

Oxidizing Agent

a molecule that can accept electrons in a redox reaction

3
New cards

Reducing Agent

a molecule that can donate electrons in a redox reaction

4
New cards

Oxidation

the process of losing electrons

5
New cards

Reduction

the process of gaining electrons

6
New cards

NAD+

the oxidized state of the electron carrier NAD

7
New cards

NADH

the reduced state of the electron carrier NAD

8
New cards

Electron Carriers

molecules that shuttle electrons to the electron transport chain where ATP is produced

9
New cards

ATP Hydrolysis

the process where ATP is broken down to release energy

10
New cards

Phosphorylation

the process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule

11
New cards

Dephosphorylation

the process of losing a phosphate group from a molecule

12
New cards

Substrate-level phosphorylation

the production of ATP from a corrupted exergonic reaction

13
New cards

Chemiosmosis

the process that produces most of the ATP in a cell, requiring the enzyme ATP synthase
