Ch 7 & 2 (cellular respiration) Flashcards
glycolysis
splitting glucose into pyruvate
electron carrier
nucleotide that reversibly binds to high energy electrons
phosphorylation
adding a phosphate group to a molecule
oxidative phosphorylation
using high energy electrons to add phosphate groups
gluconeogenesis
making glucose from non carbohydrates
how do autotrophs feed
produce their own organic molecules
photoautotrophs- use sunlight
chemoautotrophs- hydrogen sulfide, methane
how do heterotrophs feed
consume organic molecules from other organisms herbivores-plants carnivores-meat ominvores-plants & meat detritivores-dirt (earthworms) saprophytes-absorbs dead material
what is cellular respiration (how to get energy out of glucose)
- potential energy is stored in electrons furthest away from nucleus.
- break covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen
what are the unenergized (oxidized) electron carriers
NAD+
FAD
NADP+ (photosynthesis)
(must oxidize one molecule in order to reduce another)
what are the energized (reduced) electron carriers
NADH
FADH
NADPH
(must oxidize one molecule in order to reduce another)
aerobic respiration
c6h12o6 + 6o2 + 6h20
large amount of energy needed to be freed in small steps instead of all at once because then most of it would be released as heat
(like gas in a car)
name the steps of the oxidation of glucose
glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, krebs cycle, electron transport system, chemiosmosis (all together this is oxidative phosphorylation)
explain glycolysis

occurs in cytoplasm
1 glucose -> 2 pyruvate
net production of 2 atp molecules
-2 NADH produced by the reduction of NAD+
anaerobic respiration
reduce something that is not o2
- methanogens- carbon dioxide reduced to methane
- sulfur bacteria- sulfate reduced to sulfide
