🗑
True/False The use of enzymes is necessary to increase the activation energy requirements of a chemical reaction.   False  
🗑
The best definition of Oxidative Phosphorylation?   A proton gradient allows hydrogen ions to flow back into the cells through transmembrane protein channels, releasing energy that is used to generate ATP  
🗑

🗑
The best definition of fermentation   the partial oxidation of glucose with organic molecules serving as electron acceptors  
🗑
What is NOT necessary for respiration   oxygen  
🗑
What IS necessary for respiration   a source of electrons, quinones, flavoproteins, cytochromes  
🗑
Assume you are responsible for growing a yeast culture that produces ethanol. The yeasts are growing well on the maltose medium but are not producing alcohol, why?   O2 is in the medium  
🗑
In cellular respiration of glucose, what are the three principle stages   glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain  
🗑
Aerobic respiration compared to anaerobic respiration   Aerobic respiration uses oxygen as a final electron acceptor, whereas anaerobic respiration uses an inorganic molecule other than oxygen as the final electron acceptor (such as nitrate ions or sulfate ions, or rarely, an organic molecule  
🗑
Which biochemical process is used during glycolysis   carbohydrate catabolism, oxidation-reduction, substrate-level phosphorylation, enzymatic reaction  
🗑

🗑
This is true of Lipid oxidation   Microbes produce extracellular enzymes to reduce proteins to their fatty acid and glycerol components so that each component can enter the Krebs cycle  
🗑
