Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Location of glycolysis | cytoplasm |
| State what happens during glycolysis | glucose is converted into an intermediate which is converted into pyruvate |
| State what is meant by energy investment | 2 ATP required to phosphorylate glucose |
| State what is meant by energy payout | 2 ATP in but 4 ATP out OR net gain of 2 ATP |
| Does glycolysis require oxygen | no |
| Does NAD go to NADH during respiration | yes |
| Are dehydrogenases found in glycolysis | yes |
| Define dehydrogenase | removes H ions and electrons and pass to NAD to form NADH |
| Define NAD | accepts H ions and electron to go from NAD to NADH Takes H ions and electrons to go to the electron transport chain |
| Location of citric acid cycle | matrix of mitochondria |
| State what happens to pyruvate in aerobic conditions | forms acetyl |
| Describe the citric acid cycle | acetyl joins with oxaloacetate to form citrate and through a series of enzyme controlled steps oxaloacetate is regenerated |
| Are dehydrogenases found in citric acid cycle | yes |
| Is pyruvate to acetyl part of the citric acid cycle | no |
| Which substance is released when pyruvate goes to acetyl | carbon dioxide |
| Which 3 substances are released by the citric acid cycle | CO2, ATP and NADH |
| Which stage of respiration occurs in the cristae of the mitochondria | Electron transport chain |
| Are dehydrogenases found in the electron transport chain | No |
| State the first step of the electron transport chain | NADH goes back to NAD releasing H ions and electrons |
| Which substance passes along the proteins in the cristae | electrons |
| Hydrogens are pumped across the cristate by active transport. Which substance provides the energy for this. | electrons |
| Explain how ATP is produced in the electron transport chain | The return flow/diffusion of H ions across ATP synthase causes ADP + Pi to make ATP |
| The final hydrogen and electron acceptor is | oxygen |
| Name the products of the electron transport chain | ATP, water and NAD |
| Is carbon dioxide found in the electron transport chain | No |
