| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is oxidation reaction? | oxidation- loses electrons (leo) |
| what is reduction reaction? | reduction- gains electrons (ger) |
| describe the oxidation-reduction reaction? | if an electron is lost it has to be gained by another, reducing its electrical charge CO2 + H2= CO + H2O electron carriers; NAD+, NADP+, and FAD |
| What is oxidative phosphorylation? | energy released from the transfer of electrons (oxidation) from one compound to another (reduction) is used to generate ATP in the electron transport chain |
| What is photo-phosphorylation? | light causes chlorophyll to give up electrons. Energy is released from transfer of electrons (oxidation) of chlorophyll through a system of carrier molecules used to generate ATP |
| What are the major facts of Glycolosis? | occurs in he cytosol (anaerobic) involves splitting of 6 carbon glucose into two 3 carbon sugar molecules net gain 2 ATP 2 pyruvic acid produced 2 NADH produced |
| name the steps to glycolosis? | 2 ATP are used- glucose is split to form 2 glucose-3phosphate- 2 glucose-3phosphate oxidized to 2 pyruvic acid= 4 ATP produced and 2 NADH produced |
| Major steps of CAC (Kreb cycle)? | for each original molecule of glucose that is utilized in carbohydrate catabolism the CAC results in oxidation of acetyl CoA produces 2 ATP, 2 FADH, 6 NADH, 4 CO2 it occurs in he cytosol of prokaryote and in mitochondria of eukaryote |
| What are the major steps of the Electron Transport Chain? | carrier molecules; FMN, ubiquinones or coenzyme Q, cytochromes, metal containing proteins Happens through chemiosis to pump protons across a membrane located in the cristae of eukaryotic and cytoplasmic membrane of prokaryotic |
| what process gives the most production of ATP molecules? | The electron transport chain with 34 ATP from molecule of glucose |
| What are the alternative pathways to glycolosis? | pentose phosphate pathway- uses pentose's and NADPH, operates with glycolosis enzymes Enter-doudoroff pathway- produce NADPH and ATP, does not involve any of the enzymes of glycolosis |
| What is the general pathway of fermentation and what are the final electron receptors? | metabolic pathways that are metabolic reactions that oxidize NADH to NAD+ while reducing cellular organic molecules. It allows ATP production to continue in the absence of cellular respiration. Final electron acceptors are organic molecules |
| what are the major events of photosynthesis? | light dependent- depend on the light light independent reactions- synthesize glucose from Co2 and water |
| what is the difference between oxygenic and anoxygenic? | oxygenic- derive electrons from the dissociation of H2O anoxygenic- gets electrons from inorganic compounds resulting in non oxygen waste such as sulfur |
| What is a chemotrophs and chemoautotrophs? | aquires energy from redox reactions involving organic and inorganic chemicals to survive chemhetetrophs- animals, fungi, protozoa |
| What is phototrophs? | use light for energy source photoautotropphs- plants, some protozoa, and algae |
