Cellular Respiration SCC BIO 100 CH-7
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Process by which an electron is lost. | Oxidation |
| Process by which an electron is gained. | Reduction |
| A3-carbon molecule is converted to a 2-carbon molecule and a molecule of carbon dioxide is released. | Acetyl CoA Formation |
| Stage where oxygen is required. | Electron Transport Chain |
| Takes place in the inner mitochondrial compartment (matrix). | Krebs Cycle |
| Shared by all living organisms. | Glycolysis |
| Why are Hydrogen ions pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane? | Their movement generates ATP. |
| Why is the Krebs cycle a cycle? | Because the first molecule in the pathway is also the last. |
| Which stages yields the greatest amount of ATP? | Electron Transport Chain |
| Which stage is evolutionarily the oldest? | Glycolysis |
| Which stage takes place in the cytoplasm? | Glycolysis |
| Which stage releases the first molecule of carbon dioxide? | Acetyl CoA formation |
| Describes an oxidation reaction. | A substance donates and electron to another atom. |
| Cellular Respiration order | Glycolysis - Krebs Cycle - Electron Transport Chain |
| Is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane or cristae. | Electron transport chain & proton pump. |
| Can be oxidized to produce ATP..? | Glucose, fats & proteins |
| Aka chemiosmosis | Proton Pump |
| Together, these are known as oxidative phosphorylation. | Electron transport chain & proton pump. |
| Is anaerebic | Glycolysis |
| Has citric acid as one of its components. | Krebs cycle |
| Consists of membrane proteins. | electron transport chain |
| NADH, CoA and FADH2 | 3 major coenzymes of cellular respiration. |
| What is the carrier molecule of electrons in the move from glucose to the coenzyme? | NADH |
| All the co-enzymes are derivatives from this. | B vitamins |
| Used in the Kreb cycle. | CoA |
| Product of fermentation in plants. | Alcohol |
| Product of fermentation in animals. | lactic acid |
| An enzyme that functions in cellular respiration by bringing together ADP and inorganic phosphate molecules to produce ATP. | ATP synthase |
| The aerobic harvesting of energy. | cellular respiration |
| Molecules that serve to transfer electrons from one molecule to another in ATP formation. | electron carrier |
| A reduction-oxidation reaction where one side goes up in electrons and the other side must go down. | Redox reaction |
