vocab words for chapter 7
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell Respiration | How living cells get energy from organic molecules and release waste products (main goal is to make ATP) |
| Anaerobic | No oxygen is used (anaerobic processes still go through glycolysis) |
| Aerobic | Oxygen is used |
| Energy Intermediates | FADH2, NADH, ATP, can’t be transported or stored from cell to cell |
| Glycolysis | The first step for anaerobic and aerobic respiration, breakdown of glucose to Pyruvate, Makes ATP and NADH, 2 parts, 10 reactions |
| Transition/Import into Mitochondria | Large enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase, move Pyruvate from Cytoplasm to Mitochondrial Matrix, Happens twice |
| Substrate level phosphorylation | Makes ATP with an enzyme, starting compound is regenerated in the cycle (Used in glycolysis, Krebs Cycle) |
| Christae | Folded inner membrane of mitochondrion |
| Electron Transport Chain | Used to create a concentration gradient, mostly uses redox reactions |
| Ubiquinone | Mobile Electron carriers, not a protein, travels through phospholipid bilayer, in ETC |
| Cytochrome C | Mobile electron carrier, a protein with heme, in ETC |
| Ethanol fermentation | Type of anaerobic respiration, found in plants and fungi |
| Lactic acid fermentation | Type of anaerobic fermentation, found in animals |
| Chlorophyll | Green pigment in plants. It’s necessary for all of photosynthesis and it absorbs certain wavelengths of light (esp. blue and red) |
