ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
CR equation
glucose + 6O2 –> —> —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
max ATP CR can produce
38 ATP
is glycolysis aerobic or anaerobic?
anaerobic
where does glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
1 glucose forms how many pyruvate in glycolysis?
2 pyruvate
Where is krebs cycle?
mitochondrial matrix
pyruvate is ______ to be converted to acetic acid
oxidized - remove oxygen in form of CO2
How does NAD+ become NADH?
when bonds of pyruvic acid are broken, the electrons are donated to it and it becomes NADH
acetic acid + _____ = Acetyl-CoA
coenzyme A
is krebs cycle aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
yield of krebs cycle
2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2 (coenzyme) and 4C02 released
input of krebs cycle
Acetyl CoA
what is released during krebs cycle?
4 CO2
ETC location
inner mitochondrial membrane
is ETC aerobic or anaerobic?
aerobic
Does NADH or FADH2 produce more ATP?
NADH- electrons are dropped off earlier in the ETC
what pulls electrons down the ETC
oxygen
what is the energy released during the “fall” of electrons used for?
pumping hydrogen ions across the membrane (creates gradient)
how is ATP formed?
Hydrogen ions moving from high to low concentration thru enzyme ATP synth. create ATP from ADP by adding a phosphate
chemiosmosis
protons travel down electrochemical gradient thru ATP synth. —> ATP
what is the FINAL electron acceptor in aerobic CR?
oxygen
oxygen combines with two hydrogens to make…
6 water (H2O)
range of ATP made/glucose
30-38
