Lecture 9
Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemoheterotroph | An organism that requires organic molecules for both energy and carbon |
| Oxidation | Complete or partial loss of electrons from a substance involved in a redox reaction |
| Reduction | Complete or partial addition of electrons to a substance involved in a redox reaction |
| Cellular Respiration | Catabolic pathways of aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which break down organic molecules and use an electron transport chain for he production of ATP |
| Electronegativity | The attraction of a given atom for the electrons of a covalent bond |
| Glycolysis | Reactions that split up glucose into pyruvate |
| Phosphorylation | Addition of a phosphate group (PO4) to a protein |
| Hexokinase | Enzyme that phosphorylates hexoses |
| Phosphofructokinase | Enzyme that phosphorylates fructose 6-phosphate in glycolysis |
| NADH | Catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NAPH to coenzyme Q |
| Kreb's Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle | Completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules. Occurs within the mitochondria |
| Chemeosmosis | Energy coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in H+ gradient across membrane to drive cellular work |
| ATP synthase | Functions in chemeosmosis with electron transport chains. Uses the energy of H+ gradient to make ATP |
| Feedback Inhibition | Metabolic control in which end product of a metabolic pathway acts as an inhibitor |
| ETC | Sequence of electron carrier molecules that shuttle electrons down a series of redox reactions. Used to make ATP |
| Active Transport | Movement of a substance arose cell membrane against its concentration |
