| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acetyl CoA | Acetyl Coenzyme A, molecule serves as a central metabolite in cellular respiration |
| Aerobic respiration | with oxygen |
| Anaerobic cellular respiration | without oxygen |
| ATP | Energy source that is produced by cellular respiration |
| ATP synthase (enzyme) | to form ATP |
| Chemiosmosis | 32 to 34 atp are made through a process - H+ ion flow down their concentration gradient through atp synthase. H+ ion movement is used to make ATP |
| Citric acid cycle | Two acetyl CoA will be broken down, all carbon atoms will be released as CO2, energy is released during this break down and used to produce FADH and NADH - makes 2 atp, 6 nadh, 2 fadh, 4 co2 |
| De-Phosphorylation | process of removing phosphate groups from a organic molecule, involve the addition of a water molecule |
| Electron carriers | Molecules that bind and carry high-energy electrons in metabolic pathway |
| Energy Carriers | electron carrier |
| FADH2 | Flavin adenine dinucleotide, molecule serves has a coenzyme in energy production by transferring electrons to electron transport chain |
| Fermentation (alcohol and lactic acid) | regenerate NAD+, allows glycolysis to continue - Alcohol produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as their by-products - lactic acid produced from pyruvate to allow more glycolysis and small ATP production as long as possible |
| Glucose | energy to make more ATP comes from the metabolism of organic molecules |
| Glycolysis | occurs in the cytoplasm, does not require oxygen, begins process of breaking down glucose |
| Matrix | energy production and metabolic process |
| Mitochondria | Organelle that uses molecules to make ATP |
| NADH | Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, coenzyme role in cellular respiration by helping convert nutrients into ATP or energy |
| Oxidative phosphorylation | NADH and FADH are oxidized (donate electrons to ETC) Final electron acceptor of the ETC is oxygen 1st part moves down the ETC Chemiosmosis occurs due to H+ ion gradient |
| Oxidation of Pyruvate | 2 pyruvates from glycolysis enter the mitochondrial matrix each pyruvate is oxidized into an Acetyl CoA (2 carbon each) 2 NADH are made, 2 Co2 are released |
| Oxidation reaction | when a molecule loses an electron it is oxidized |
| Pyruvate | three-carbon compound |
| Redox Reaction | combination of oxidation and reduction reaction |
| Reduction reaction | when a molecule gains an electron, it is reduced |
