Respiration Flashcards
where does the link reaction occur?
matrix
how is citrate formed?
acetyl coenzyme A + oxaloacetate
Where does Glycolysis occur
In the cytosol
what is the function of ATP synthase?
chemiosmosis, creating ATP by oxidative phosphorylation
how many total amount of ATP molecules are made in substrate linked phosphorylation per glucose
6
where does Krebs cycle occur?
mitochondrial matrix
what are coenzymes?
a non-protein molecule needed for an enzyme to catalyse a reaction
what does CoA do?
used in link reaction to carry and supply acetyl groups which are required for the conversion of oxaloacetate to citrate
what is the order of processes in aerobic respiration?
glycolysis –> link rxn –> Krebs cycle
what happens to pyruvate in the the link rxn?
it’s dehydrogenated & decarboxylated
what molecule is the final electron acceptor?
O2
what is the equation for the formation of water at the end of the electron transport chain?
1/2O2 + 2e- + 2H+ –> H2O
what is the conc gradient between the matrix & IMS called?
proton motive force
what is the facilitated diffusion of protons through ATP synthase
chemiosmosis
what is the anaerobic respiration process in fungi and plants?
Ethanol fermentation
