AP Bio Chapter 8 Flashcards
cell respiration
processes in which cells acquire energy bu breaking down sugar make 36 to 38 ATP
cell respiration equation
C6H12O6 +6o2–>6CO2+6H2O
oxidized
sugar is oxidized in to CO2
Reduced
Oxygen is reduced to H20
loss of energy
39% of energy in sugar is acctually used- lost as unusable heat
NAD+
co enzyme of oxidation- accepts 2 e- and a H becomes NADH
Fad+
co enzyme- accepts 2e- and 2H becomes FADH2
anarobic
no oxygen needed
aerobic
oxygen needed
glycolisis
happens in cytoplasm, is anarobic
breaks down glucose in to 2 pyruvates.
Needs 2 ATP to jump start and produces 4 ATP for a net gain of 2 ATP.
sends 2NADH to ETC
cytochrome
protein that binds
substrate level phosphorylation
makes 2 ATP by adding P to ADP
fermentation
anarobic, pyruvate is reduced by NADH (sending NAD+ back so it is free if oxygen becomes present) to lactate. It is lactate or Alcoholic makes only 2 ATP
Preparatory reaction
pyruvate turns into C2 (acetyl group) and CO2 is produced. electrons removed form pyruvate attach to NAD+ to become NADH. this happens 1 per pyruvate so it happens twice. produces no atp is prep for Krebs and ETC
Citric Acid cycle
Krebs- happens in matrix, the C2 combines with a C4 to become a C6, goes around cycle until the citrate (C6) is broken down into CO2 (4 CO2). 6 NADH and 2 FADH2 go to ETC. 2 ATP
