cellular respiration Flashcards
(295 cards)
ATP is made by adding _______ to an inorganic phosphate
ADP
NAD+ picks up electrons and hydrogen forming
NADH
most of the ATP made in cellular respiration is produced by _________ phosphorylation
oxidative
The energy available to a cell is contained in the
specific arrangement of electrons and the chemical bonds that hold an organic molecule together
The electrons start out in a molecule where they have -
more energy (glucose)
and end up in one where they have less
energy (water).
The reactions release energy in ______, and the cell stores some of the energy in ______.
small amounts, atp
The cell transfers energy from organic compounds to ___ by coupling ___________
chemical reactions to energy ______ ones.
atp, energy - releasing, storing
When the carbon-hydrogen bonds of glucose are broken,
electrons are ultimately transferred to
atmospheric oxygen.
Oxygen has a _____ tendency to attract electrons.
strong
The cell transfers energy by shuttling _______ from molecule to molecule
electrons
An electron loses potential energy when it _______ to oxygen.
“falls”
Throughout cellular respiration you will see _________ and ________ being transferred together.
electrons, hydrogen atoms
A coenzyme called _________ is used to carry electrons in redox reactions
NAD
a sequence of electron carriers form the electron ________ chain
Transport
is a gain of an electron
reduction
Energy released in the electron transport chain is used to pump ______ ions (H+) across a membrane
Hydrogen
Oxidative ___________ involves an electron transport chain and a process called chemiosmosis
Phosphorylation
_______ is a loss of an electron
Loses
Pyruvic acid oxidation and the _____ acid cycle make up the second stage of cellular respiration
Citric
oxygen is _____ In a redox reaction in cellular respiration
reduced
in your cells the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in organelles called
mitochondria
________ is short for oxidation reduction
Redox
a molecule is reduced when it _____ an electron
gains
most cells make most of their ATP via a process that involves an electron transport chain and a process called
chemiosmosis
