3
New cards

aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration make up what ( added up )

cellular respiration

4
New cards

what is fermentation

degradation of sugars without oxygen

5
New cards

what is aerobic respiration

consumption of organic molecules via oxygen to give atp

6
New cards

write down the reaction of glucose plus oxygen

knowt flashcard image
7
New cards

do catabolic pathways directly power cell to do work

no , they provide necessary material for cell to make ATP, ATP provides the main power

8
New cards

what are the redox reactions

reactions in which electrons are transferred in reactants

9
New cards

what is oxidation , what is reduction

oxidation is the process of loss of electron, while reduction is the process of electron gain

10
New cards

who is the reducing agent

electron donor

11
New cards

who is the oxidizing agent

electron acceptor

12
New cards

what are some properites of oxygen

it is very electroneaggtivem - takes electrons , does not share electrons

13
New cards

is eneergy gained or taken when electrons move closer to oxygen

released

14
New cards

what type of process is cellular repiration

also photosynthesis vs cellular who is ender who is ever

redox process

photo - ender

resp - exer

15
New cards

in cellular repiration who is providing the high eneergy electrson

hydrogen does

16
New cards

the oxidation of glucose sends electrons from __ energy levesl to _ energy levels

high , low

17
New cards

hydrogen atoms are first passed to _ rather than —

electron carriers , oxygen

18
New cards

name of NAD plus as well as what is it (nicotine)

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide its a coenzyme that functions as electron carrier

19
New cards

how are enzymes that remove pair of hydrogen atoms from the substrate called

dehydrogenases

20
New cards

how many protons and electrons is passed to NAD plus

2p and 1 e

21
New cards

where is the electron trasnport chain located in eukaroyes vs prokrtyotes

inner membrane of mitochdnria

plasma membrane

22
New cards

harvesting energy from glucose has 3 stages list them

glycolysis - first stage in which glucose is converted to pyruvate

pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle- during eahc step co2 is released, and in this step glucose is full broken

oxidative phosphorylation

23

24
New cards

90 percent of atp is genedated by which step of repsiration

oxidative photpshorylation

25
New cards

what is substrate level phosphorylation

when enzyme takes the phosphate group from substrate and attaches to ADP

26
New cards

for each molecule of glucose how many atp molecules are produced

30 to 32

27
New cards

which step in respiation occurs with no need for O2

glycolysis

28
New cards

for whom is pyruvate useful in a sense, to aerobic organism or anaerobic ? explain

It’s more useful for aerobic organisms because pyruvate is then moved to the mitochondria to produce more ATP; whereas in anaerobic organisms, it’s used to recycle NADH and regenerate NAD+.

29
New cards

When we say some prokaryotes make 30 ATP per glucose, which factor is it a result of — being a prokaryote/eukaryote, or aerobic or anaerobic?"

the prokaryote has to be aerobic, and as long as it is it can make 30. just because its prokaryote does not mean it makes 2 atp

30
New cards

what does pyruvate has to become to enter krebs cycle and which enzyme does it

it has to become acetyl coa , and the pyruvate dehydrogenase does it

31
New cards

which 3 reactions does pyruvate dehydrogenase do to make pyruvate acetyl coa

  1. oxidation of Co2

  2. reduction of Nad plus to NADH

  3. coA comes and attaches

32
New cards

via what does pyruvate enter into the mitochondrion

via a transport protein

33
New cards

how many times does krebs cycle run per glucose molecule and why is that

"It runs twice, because after glycolysis 2 pyruvates are made. So 2 pyruvates are made per glucose, and those 2 are finished only then — future glucoses come after."

34
New cards

how many co2 are released per turn during krebs

2 per turn

35
New cards

what products are generated during krebs PER TURN, and the n how many per glucose

1 per turn - atp nadh fadh2

2 per glucose

36
New cards

what are those folded parts of inner memrbane called and what is purpose of them in mitochdnria

cristae - increase surace area

37
New cards

what are those thing called in protein complexes that have iron atoms

cytochromes

38
New cards

is atp produced when electrons trasnfer from one protein complex to anothjer?

no

39
New cards

H plus protons go from where to where so that in future they power atp synthesis

mitochondrial matrix to inter membrane space

40
New cards

what is that turbine if u will called that spins to make atp at the last steps in oxidative phosophorylation

atp synthase

41
New cards

what is the process called when h plus movement powers atp synthesis via the synthase

chemioosomsis

42
New cards

how is the H plus gradient called

proton-motive force

43
New cards

when electrons come and attach to oxygen at which protein complex is it done

complex 4

44
New cards

is atp synthase’s atp recovery and oxygen oxidation happening in the same are ?

no oxygen takes electrons at complex 4 while atp synthase Is in difff location

45
New cards

which percent of glucose is actually converted to atp percent wise and atp amount wise

34 percent and about 30 to 32 atp

46
New cards

what is the final electron acceptor of anaerobic respiration

anything but oxygen

47
New cards

what is the amount of atp produced via glycolysis in aerobic vs anaerobic respiration

both do 2 with or without o2 both do 2

48

50
New cards

52
New cards

what are similarities of fermentation and cellular respiration

both do glycolysis

both have nad plus as oxidizing agent

53
New cards

what is the difference between fermentation and cellular respiration

in cellular - pyruvate is not used as final electron acceptor, and respiration proceeds to yield more atp in future steps.
