cellular resperation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| whats the main energy source in cells? | ATP |
| how long does a cells energy source last? | between 30 seconds and a few minutes at most |
| where does glucose ultimately come from? | the sun |
| what are the 4 steps of cellular respiration. | glycolysis: pyruvate processing: citric acid cycle: electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation: [know locations inside of the cell where each step occurs][and know the inputs and outputs for each step] |
| substrate-level phosphorylation | a type of metabolic reaction that results in the formation of ATP or GTP by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryl group to adenosine diphosphate or guanosine diphosphate from a phosphorylated reactive intermediate |
| whats the purpose of the NADH and FADH2 electron carriers?where do the drop off their electron? | to transfer the electrons between molecules in the electron transport chain. |
| chemiosmosis | production of ATP from the proton gradient |
| describe the electron transport chain. | a group of molecules chained together in which the electron carriers [NADH and FADH2] transport electrons creating a proton gradient which ultimately creats ATP. |
| describe the formation of the proton gradient and where it occurs. | electrons bouncing between molecules causes the formation of the proton gradient in the intermembrane space in a mitochondria. |
| what is the proton gradient's purpose. | to form ATP, which is the energy source of cells. |
| what does ATP synthases do? | ATP synthasis is an enzyme that makes ATP from the proton gradient |
| oxidative phosphorylation | the formation of ATP in the final step in cellular respiration. |
| glycolysis | the breakdown of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate [a small amout of ATP is made](NAD+ is reduced to NADH[NADH is an electron carrier]) |
| pryuvate processing | pryuvate is converted into acetyl [co2 is produced]more NAD+ is reduced to NADH |
| citric acid cycle | acetyl is converted into 2 molecules of co2. more atp is produced NADH are made FAD is reduced to FADH2[another elecrton carrier] |
| electron transport chain [ETC] and oxidative phosphorylation | NADH and FADH2 take the electrons to a chain of molecules[the ETC] electrons "bounce" between moleculescause the formation of a H+ gradient(proton gradient) the H+ gradient is used to form ATP. |
