cellular respiration Flashcards
(30 cards)
product of glycolsis
pyruvic acid
product of krebs cycle
nadp+
role of oxygen in ETC
final electron acceptor
number of atp molecules used in investing phase in glycolysis
2
product of ETC
water
main purpose of cellular respiration
generate ATP
occurs in the cytosol in cell
glycolysis
generates most ATP
ETC
breakdown of a glucose molecule into 2 pyruvates
glycolysis
two parts of glycolysis
investment phase and pay off phase
converts acetyl coa to citrate
krebs cycle
series of chemical reactions where electrons carried by NADH and FADH from the Krebs Cycle is used to fuel this process
electron transport chain
set of metabolic pathways that converts Glucose to Adenosine Triphosphate
cellular respiration
use of Oxygen in the respiration process
aerobic process
respiration process that does not use oxygen
anaerobic process
removal of hydrogen transferred to NAD+ or FAD
dehydrogenation
removal of part of the carboxyl group
decarboxylation
spontaneous chemical reaction in which
there is a net release of free energy
exergonic
non spontaneous chemical reaction, in
which free energy is absorbed from the
surroundings to form the products of the
reaction
endergonic
site where glycolysis occurs
cytosol
site where krebs and etc occur
mitochondria
part of mito where krebs happen
cristae
part of mito where etc happen
matrix
converts Glucose into two
molecules of G3P with the use of two ATP
investment phase
