New cards

cell respiration definition

the controlled release of en from organic cmpds in a serires of enz catalysed metabolic pathways to allow the maximal release of en in a usable form , atp

2
New cards

atp structure

adenosine (nitrogenous grp) attached to C1

pentose (ribose)

3 phosphates

O in bw

C2 differentiates bw deoxyribose and ribose

3
New cards

phosphorylation

the addition of 1 phosphate

adp + p → atp

uses en

hydrolysis: releases en , 1p

4
New cards

glucose = pri respiratory substrate

respiration = breakdown of glucose to form atp

glucose → glycolysis → pyruvate, atp → either aerobic or anaerobic resp in mito or cyto

5
New cards

glycolysis

glucose broken down → 2 pyruvate + net gain of 2 atp

no co2 prod, no atp req

6
New cards

lactate fermentation: anaerobic resp in humans

glucose → glycolysis (+2atp) → 2 pyruvate → lactate fermentation (releases 2 NAD+ so glycolysis can continue) → 2 lactate total 4 atp at the end

happens in cytoplasm of cells

imptance: small yield of energy, but can be prod quickly. enables a person to continue exercising for a short period of time during a period of great exertion, maximising power of muscle contractions.

occurs when the rate of breakdown of sugars for atp is faster than the rate at which o2 is supplied by blood.

7
New cards

what happens to lactate

brought by blood to liver. some lactate is oxidised to release en → used to convert rest of lactate to glucose. then transported back to muscles

8
New cards

oxygen debt

the extra o2 req to restore normal body functioning after exercise

9
New cards

yeast: alcoholic fermentation

glucose → glycolysis (+2atp) → 2 pyruvate → alcoholic fermentation (+2CO2) → 2 acetaldehyde → 2 ethanol

eg bioethanol: ethanol prod by living organisms — used as a renewable en source, fuel in vehicles

10
New cards

respirometer

used to measure rate of o2 uptake by organism

co2 prod by organism is abosorbed by an alkali, eg. KOH.

conditions to maintain: temp to avoid vol changes due to temp fluctuations
