Q

Why do living organisms need oxygen

A

Oxygen as needed because it is the electron except or of the electron transport chain in the cellular respiration process which produces atp

Q

Step 1: glycolysis

A

*happens in cytoplasm
*does not require oxygen
Begins when glucose enters the cell
Enters through diffusion or endocytosis
Gets broken down into 2 pyruvic acids (3 carbon molecules)
The energy needed to break glucose comes from two ATP molecules

You need to spend it to make it. 12ETP and spent a break glucose, the energy released from the bone breaking is then used to create 4 ATP

The high energy electrons from this reaction are carried by NADH+

The high energy electrons from this reaction are carried by NADH+

(NAD becomes NADH+ as it carries electrons)

The electron carriers, NADH+ goes to the mitochondria out where it will be used in later step

Q

Step 2: Krebs cycle

A
  • happens in the matrix of the mitochondria (most central part)
  • requires oxygen

Pyruvic acid dissolves into carbon dioxide and acetyl CoA (a two carbon sugar)

Acetyl CoA (two carbon sugar) is joined to a four carbon sugar (oxaloacetate)

After the acetyl CoA Joins the four carbon acceptor ( oxaloacetate)compound it forms to a six carbon compound(citrate)

Citrate (a six carbon molecule) then has been stripped from until it is recycled into the oxaloacetate molecule from a previous step

The energy released from stripping off the carbon is used to form ATP

ADP becomes ATP

The Krebs cycle turns twice during one cycle of respiration. As it turns, NAD becomes an a DH

FAD becomes FADH2

Q

Step 3: electron transport chain

A
  • happens in the inner membrane of the mitochondria

NADH+ and FADH2 are reduced and release their H+ ions

As they are reduce they released a high energy electrons they have been carrying

H+ ions are pushed into the inner membrane creating a high concentration

These electrons balance between the proteins in the inner membrane like hot potatoes

H+ ions diffuse from high to low concentration by diffusing through ATP synthase

(The membrane is not permeable to Iona so this is the only place Ions can escape)

As the H+ ions diffuse through ATP synthase it spins

As ATP synthase spends it turns ADP into ATP

ATP Synthese creates ATP

Oxygen diffuses into the cell and into the mitochondria

Elections are pulled to O2 and join it to H+ ions

Water is formed
