2.8 Cell Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cellular respiration | controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to produce ATP |
| anaerobic respiration | does not require oxygen, small yield of ATP |
| aerobic respiration | requires oxygen, large yield of ATP |
| common phase of cellular respiration | glycolysis |
| location of anaerobic respiration | cytoplasm |
| What happens to pyruvate when there is no oxygen? | anaerobic respiration |
| alcoholic fermentation | starts with pyruvate and yields ethanol and CO2 and NO ATP |
| word equation for alcoholic fermentation | Pyruvate yields ethanol and carbon dioxide. |
| lactic acid fermentation | starts with pyruvate and ends with lactate (3C) and NO ATP |
| word equation for lactic acid fermentation | Pyruvate yields lactate. |
| products of fermentation | lactate in animals and ethanol and CO2 in plants, fungi, and yeast |
| location of aerobic respiration | mitochondria |
| respirometer | sealed chambers used to measure rate of respiration by measuring the oxygen intake. Temperature is constant and CO2 is absorbed. |
| oxidation | loss of electrons, gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen |
| reduction | gain of electrons, loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen |
| glycolysis | Phosphorylation: 2 phosphates added to glucose creating hexose biphosphate. Lysis: hexose biphosphate is split into 2 triose phosphates. Oxidation: triose phosphates lose H+ and NAD is reduced to NADH. ATP Formation: 2 triose phosphates become 2 pyruvates |
| structure and function of mitochondria relation | 1. inner membrane's cristae increase surface area for ETC 2. outer membrane contains transport proteins for bringing pyruvate 3. matrix includes proper pH and enzymes for Krebs Cycle 4. intermembrane space is for H+ to accumulate for ATP production |
| link reaction | pyruvate is transported from cytoplasm to matrix. It is oxidized and decarboxylated. It becomes acetyl CoA after a 2C compound attaches. CO2 is produced. |
| Krebs cycle | acetyl CoA combines with a 4C compound, decarboxylated 2 twice (forms 2 CO2), oxidized (forms 3 NADH and 1 FADH2), phosphate removed (forms 1 ATP), 4C compound is reformed, 2 total cycles |
| electron transport chain | electrons (brought by NADH and FADH2) pass through a chain of enzymes, chemiosmosis of H+, large amounts of ATP and H2O are created |
| purpose of NADH and FADH2 | carry electrons between Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain |
| oxidative phosphorylation | H+ move from matrix to intermembrane space, concentration gradient, H+ returns through ATP synthase, oxygen is the final electron acceptor |
| aerobic respiration after the link reaction | oxidative phosphorylation |
| location of H+ concentration | intermembrane space |
| role of O2 | final electron receptor |
| final electron receptor | oxygen |
