GRCC BI121 Energy production Exam 2
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Where does Cell get energy from ? | This is obtained from molecules via the breaking and reforming electron bonds |
Exergonic | Energy is released when bonds in glucose are broken |
endergonic | Some energy is stored in ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) |
Concepts in energy transfer | Substrate, oxidation, reduction, redox reactions, ATP, ADP, phosphorylation, electron shuttles, electron transport chains, Aerobic, anaerobic. |
Energy yielding molecule in which an enzyme acts | concepts in Energy transfer:Substrate |
e.g. of substrate | Glucose |
Concepts in energy transfer: oxidation | The donation of electrons |
Concepts in energy transfer: Reduction | The acceptance of electrons |
e.g. of reduction | oxygen |
Concepts in energy transfer: Redox reactions | A sequence of oxidation and reduction. |
Concepts in energy transfer: ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) | the molecule of cellular energy |
Concepts in energy transfer:ADP (Adenosine DiPhosphate) | the result of energy release from ATP |
Concepts in energy transfer: Phosphorylation | Adding a phosphate to ADP to make ATP |
Concepts in energy transfer: Electron Shuttles | transport electrons during redox reactions. |
Concepts in energy transfer: electron transport chain | Series of mostly proteins with in mitochondria membrane that transfer electrons from shuttles to oxygen in a series of redox reactions. |
Energy released in these transfers is converted to ATP | Electron transport chain |
Concepts in energy transfer:Aerobic | with oxygen |
Concepts in energy transfer:anaerobic | without oxygen |
exergonic- what does it mean? | Energy exits when glucose bonds are broken. |
endergonic - what does it mean? | Energy is stored as ATP |
Aerobic Cellular respiration | Glycolysis, Citric Acid (krebs) cycle, Electron transport chain. |
Aerobic Cellular respiration requires what? | Oxygen |
Aerobic Cellular respiration: Glycolosis | Stage 1: Break down of glucose into pyruvic acid; electrons released and 2 ATP formed; NO oxygen required. |
What is stage 1 of aerobic cellular respiration? | Glycolosis |
Is oxygen required for glycolosis | No, oxygen is not required. |
During what stage of aerobic cellular respiration does the breakdown of glucose and converted to pyruvic acid and electrons are released? | Stage 1 - glycolosis |
How many ATP are formed during glycolosis? | 2 ATP |
Is oxygen required for the breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, electrons are released to form 2 ATP. | No, oxygen is not required for this step in the aerobic cell respiration referred to as step 1: glycolosis |
During this step, pyruvic acid is broken down to carbon dioxide, electrons are released and 2 ATP are formed. | Step 2: Citric Acid Cycle (krebs cycle) |
Is Oxygen required for the citric acid cycle? | Yes, oxygen is required. |
Which location of the cell does step 2: Kreb Cycle occur? | Mitochondrian |
What location of the cell does step 1:glycolosis occur? | Cytoplasm of the cell |
How many ATP are formed during step 1 and 2? | 2 ATP are formed in each step resulting in a total of 4 ATP formed in Glycosis and krebs cycle. |
name the step in which the synthesis of 34 ATP are formed? | Step 3:Electron transport chain |
What is the total amount of ATP formed during Cellular respiration for each glucose molecule? | 38 = 2 ATP Glycolosis 2 ATP Krebs Cycle 34 ATP Electron Transport Chain |
How many ATP are used during Cellular respiration and how many are remaining? | 2 ATP are used, 36 ATP are remaining. |
What happens if oxygen is not available during glycolosis? | Lactic acid is produced |
What happens if oxygen is not available. | Glycolosis can occur only- it can go to the next steps unless oxygen is present. |
Anerobic respiration | No oxygen, then glycolosis can only occur resulting in the production of lactic acid. |
In what order does energy utilize these substrates? | 1. Glucose, 2 lipids, 3 proteins |
CHO | Body draws from this first for energy |
Why is CHO the #1 substrate used for energy? | Because Sugar is breaks down easier than the other substrates. |
Where do you obtain CHO? | From the diet and stored CHO (Glycogen) |
If there is a demand of energy, and no CHO is available, then where does body go to next? | Lipids are second in line for utilization of energy |
What are sources of lipids? | From the diet and stored fats. |
Why is lipds 2nd in line to be used as energy? | Because it is the next easiest substrate that can be converted into energy |
What is the very last resort body will use for energy? | Protein will be used if CHO and lipids are not available. |
What are sources of proteins? | dietary and storage from antibodies, muscles and organs. |
What condition is prevalent among people who mainly use protein as energy? | Anorexics |
What is the danger of proteins being used for energy for prolonged periods of time? | proteins are drawn from antibodies, muscles and organs and will be damaged if their protein structure is broken down. |
