Cellular Resp+ Gly
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration | Catabolic and exergonic, glucose will be oxidized and oxygen will be reduced |
| Electron shuttles | Used to decouple metabolic reduction and oxidation, co-enzymes are well suited to carry electrons, NAD + —> NAD |
| Electron shuttles and carriers pt. 2 | co-enzymes, cycle between oxidized and reduced FAD (oxidized) and FADH2 is reduced, in cells electrons come with protons, so NADH stores electrons |
| Overview | All types of respiration begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm. If no O2, glycolysis, then anaerobic resp. or fermentation occurs, if there is O2, glycolysis then aerobic resp. occurs in mitochondria in eukaryotes; The main point glucose -> ATP |
| Glycolysis | 6C is split into two pyruvates or 3C, requires 2 ATP, but produced 4ATP, so overall a production of 2 net ATP. Reduced 2NAD+ to 2NADH |
| Substrate Level Phosphorylation | ATO produced by an enzymatic transfer of a phosphate group from another organic substrate: Glycolysis and Citric Acid Cycle. |
