cellular respiration q and a
Question | Answer |
---|---|
glycolysis formula | glucose + 2 ATP --> 4 ATP, 2 NADH |
glycolysis coupled reactions | any time ATP is produced |
what role does ATP and NADH play in glycolysis? | they provide energy for the next part of the reaction reduced or phosphorylated to gain more electrons |
what is substrate level phosphorylation? | when substrates (what is being acted on) swap a phosphate between them, thereby transferring energy |
how does glucose enter the cell? | secondary active transport - coupled against a concentration gradient glucose transporter proteins (GLUT) - facilitated diffusion |
why does glycolysis have so many steps? | each step preps the molecule for the next reaction some store energy in a new molecule makes molecules more reactive |
glycolysis regulated reactions | 1. PFK is active when ADP is high, slow when ATP is high (feedback inhibition) 2. G3P --> 1,3Bis limited by oxygen 3. NAD levels are regulators |
hexokinase role in glycolysis? | phosphorylates 6-carbon sugars |
why is the change from glucose to g6p significant? | the additional phosphate adds a negative charge, trapping glucose in the cell |
what is an isomer? | same chemical makeup, different shape |
what is the role of phosphofructokinase (PFK)? | phosphorylates F6P into F1,6B to make it more unstable |
DHAP and G3P are.... | isomers |
how much ATP is needed to make 2G3P? | 2 molecules |
LEO GER | lose electon oxidize gain electron reduce |
NAD is reduced into... | NADH |
substrate level phosphorylation in glycolysis | 1. 1,3Bis --> 3 phosphoglycerate, donating Pi to ADP to form ATP 2. PEP --> pyruvate takes out Pi and makes ATP |
what is another name for an isomerase? | mutase |
when is water formed in glycolysis? | enolase breaks down 2-phosphoglycerate into PEP, releasing water - dehydration reaction creates a phosphate bond |
how is ATP generated? (substrate level phosphorylation) | phosphate group is removed from a reactant in the pathway, free energy is used from that to add phosphate to ADP |
irreversible reactions (checkpoints) | hexokinase, PFK, pyruvate kinase |
