CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
ATP synthase   (also, F1F0 ATP synthase) membrane-embedded protein complex that adds a phosphate to ADP with energy from protons diffusing through it  
🗑
acetyl CoA   combination of an acetyl group derived from pyruvic acid and coenzyme A, which is made from pantothenic acid (a B-group vitamin)  
🗑
aerobic respiration   process in which organisms convert energy in the presence of oxygen  
🗑
anaerobic cellular respiration   process in which organisms convert energy for their use in the absence of oxygen  
🗑
anaerobic   process that does not use oxygen  
🗑
chemiosmosis   process in which there is a production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cellular metabolism by the involvement of a proton gradient across a membrane  
🗑
citric acid cycle   (also, Krebs cycle) series of enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells  
🗑
dephosphorylation   removal of a phosphate group from a molecule  
🗑
fermentation   ess of regenerating NAD+ with either an inorganic or organic compound serving as the final electron accceptor, occurs in the absence; occurs in the absence of oxygen  
🗑
GLUT protein   integral membrane protein that transports glucose  
🗑
glycolysis   process of breaking glucose into two three-carbon molecules with the production of ATP and NADH  
🗑
isomerase   enzyme that converts a molecule into its isomer  
🗑
Krebs cycle   (also, citric acid cycle) alternate name for the citric acid cycle, named after Hans Krebs who first identified the steps in the pathway in the 1930s in pigeon flight muscles; see citric acid cycle  
🗑
oxidative phosphorylation   production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis and oxygen  
🗑
phosphorylation   addition of a high-energy phosphate to a compound, usually a metabolic intermediate, a protein, or ADP  
🗑
prosthetic group   (also, prosthetic cofactor) molecule bound to a protein that facilitates the function of the protein  
🗑
pyruvate   three-carbon sugar that can be decarboxylated and oxidized to make acetyl CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle under aerobic conditions; the end product of glycolysis  
🗑
redox reaction   chemical reaction that consists of the coupling of an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction  
🗑
substrate-level phosphorylation   production of ATP from ADP using the excess energy from a chemical reaction and a phosphate group from a reactant  
🗑
TCA cycle   (also, citric acid cycle) alternate name for the citric acid cycle, named after the group name for citric acid, tricarboxylic acid (TCA); see citric acid cycle  
🗑
ubiquinone   soluble electron transporter in the electron transport chain that connects the first or second complex to the third  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
