Biochemistry of respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name the three stages in repiration | Glycolysis Krebs Cycle Electron Transport Chain |
| Where does Glycolysis take place? | cytoplasm, occurs in all living things |
| What is required to initiate glycolysis | glucose 2ATP |
| What would the net yield be for glycolysis | 2ATP 2xpyruviate 2xreduced NAD |
| Is glycolysis anaerobic/aerobic | anaerobic |
| What is required for the link reaction? | pyruviate 3C |
| what is produced in the link reaction | CO2 reduced NAD Acetyl CoA 2C |
| What processes occur in the link reaction | Decarboxylation Dehydrogenation |
| What is required in the Krebs cycle? | Acetyl CoA |
| Name the three compounds in the Krebs cycle | 6C compound 5C compound 4C compound |
| Name the two hydrogen carriers present in the Krebs cycle | NAD FAD |
| Where does the Krebs cycle take place? | mitochondria crista |
| Why does the link reaction not take place when oxygen is not present despite oxygen not being required? | Hydrogen carriers are full. |
| Where does chemiosmosis occur? | Inner membrane of the mitcochondrion |
| What happens initally in chemiosmosis | FADH and NADH release a proton and an electron. |
| What happens to the electron? | Passed between carrier proteins losing a little energy each time. |
| What is the energy used for? | Pump the proton(s) from the matrix into the inter membrane space. |
| How does the protons return to the matrix? | Stalked particle |
| What causes the stalked particle to move? | kinetic energy of the protons ATP-ase |
| What is then produced from ADP and P? | ATP |
| What is the final stage? | Oxygen is an electron acceptor forming water (h20). |
