Metabolism test #2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is metabolism?   Process which utilizes chemical reactions that result in energy production and use  
🗑
Anabolism   Constructive metabolism, the synthesis reactions; small molecules are put together to make larger macromolecules; net energy input is required  
🗑
Catabolism   Destructive metabolism, decomposition reactions; large macromolecules are broken down into small component molecules; net energy output  
🗑
Between anabolism and catabolism, which one uses energy and which one provides energy?   Anabolism uses energy and catabolism provides energy  
🗑
How are catabolic and anabolic reactions coupled?   They are coupled because catabolic reactions provide the energy to manufacture the ATP to run anabolic reactions  
🗑
Substrate-level phosphorylation   Direct transfer of P from P-containing substrate (not a lot of ATP created this way)  
🗑
Oxidative Phosphorylation   Electrons passed from organic compunds are passed through a series of reactions (involving electron carriers) to inorganic molecules ( a lot of ATP made this way)  
🗑
Photophosphorylation   Pigments of photosynthetic cells trap light energy and convert it to chemical energy  
🗑
Respiration   Pyruvate molecules are further broken down in the Krebs Cycle and molecules generated in the Krebs Cycle (NADH-electron carriers) are used in the electron transport chain to generate large amounts of ATP; final electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule  
🗑
Aerobic Respiration   Final electron acceptor is oxygen; final products are carbon dioxide and water and lots of ATP  
🗑
Anaerobic Respiration   Final electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule other than oxygen; amount of ATP generated varies with the organism and pathway but is always less than in aerobic respiration  
🗑
Fermentation   Breakdown of glucose or other organic molecules into various endproducts and energy; does not require oxygen; does not require use of Krebs Cycle or electron transport chain; uses an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor  
🗑
Fermentation continued   Produces only tiny amounts of ATP(only 2 ATP) because the starting molecule is not broken down completely; products include lactic acid and other acids or alcohols  
🗑
Which produces more ATP, respiration or fermentation?   Respiration produces more ATP, fermentation only makes 2 ATP  
🗑
What is ATP?   Adenosine Triphosphate; energy molecule used by cells which is manufactured by the catabolism of foodstuff  
🗑
Function of ATP   Main energy source for many cellular functions  
🗑
Amount of glucose broken down in respiration   Glucose is broken down more completely (most energy is extracted)  
🗑
Amount of glucose broken down in fermentation   Glucose is very partially broken down (some energy is extracted)  
🗑
Homolactic Fermentation   Produces only lactic acid  
🗑
Heterolactic Fermentation   Produces lactic acid and other acids or alcohols  
🗑
Fermentation Tests   Test tube with medium containing protein, one type of carbohydrate, a pH indicator (phenol red) and Durham tube (inverted tube that catches gas)  
🗑
How does phenol red appear in different pH conditions?   ph 7= reddish, pH below 7= yellow, pH above 7= deep red or hot pink  
🗑
Different positive fermentation test results   Acid=yellow tube contents/ Gas= gas pushes Durham tube upward and tube is red/ Acid and Gas= gas pushes Durham tupe upward and tube is yellow  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
