Chapter 10 Pt.3 - Citric Acid Cycle Flashcards
aerobic respiration occurs in ___
mitochondrion
propose that mitochondria were once separate organisms
endosymbiotic theory
first step of cellular respiration
glycolysis
other names for the citric acid cycle
Krebs Cycle
Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle
a cellular process that harnesses the reduction of oxygen to generate high-energy phosphate bonds in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
oxidative phospohorylation
___ enters the citric acid cycle at the start
acetyl-CoA
Step 1:
transfer of acetyl group
Step 1 Reactions
oxaloacetate -> cintrate synthase -> citrate
Step 2
isomerization
Step 2 Reactions (this is a continuation after step 1)
aconitase -> cis-aconitate & isocitrate
Step 3
oxidation/decarboxylation
Step 3 Reactions (this is a continuation after step 2)
isocitrate dehydrogenase
Step 4
rejoining with CoA
Step 4 Reactions (this is a continuation after step 3)
ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
Step 5
formation of GTP
