7.2 ATP/PC System Flashcards
How do Yeast Cells deal with Anaerobic respiration?
Reduce pyruvate to ethanol and carbon dioxide using hydrogen from reduced NAD.
What does taking a hydrogen from reduced NAD result in?
Recreating oxidized NAD allowing glycolysis to continue.
What is anaerobic respiration also referred to in yeast cells?
Fermentation.
What is Yeast also called?
Facultative anaerobes.
What are aerobes?
Organisms that respire with oxygen.
What are anaerobes?
Organisms that respire without using oxygen.
What do Facultative anaerobes use?
Either aerobic or anaerobic respiration.
How is immediate regeneration of the ATP molecule achieved?
Using Creatine Phosphate (PC)
Where is Creatine Phosphate stored? What can it be hydrolysed to do?
In the muscles. It can be hydrolysed to release energy.
Once PC is hydrolysed the energy can be used to regenerate what?
ATP from ADP and phosphate.
Where does the phosphate come from?
Creatine Phosphate itself.
When is the breakdown of Creatine Phosphate triggered?
By the formation of ADP itself and as soon as exercise states.
Reactions
Creatine Phosphate=Creatine + Pi
ADP + Pi=ATP
Together
Creatine Phosphate + ADP=ATP + Creatine.
Do the Creatine Phosphate reactions require oxygen?
No.
What is the process using Creatine Phosphate known as?
ATP/PC system.
