Phosphorylation

A

To introduce a phosphoryl group into an organic compound

25
When ATP loses a phosphate group, it becomes…
ADP
26
ADP
A nucleotide composed of adenine, a sugar, and two phosphate groups. Produced by the hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate bond of ATP.
27
Aerobic
An organism, environment, or cellular process that requires oxygen
28
Aerobic respiration
Cellular respiration that used oxygen as the electron acceptor; put in glucose and oxygen and get back water and CO2
29
Much of the aerobic respiration process happens in the…
Mitochondria
30
Enzymes are proteins that are coded for by…
Genes
31
A person who stores more body fat may perform the steps of cellular respiration more ___.
Enzymes
32
Three steps of cellular respiration:
1) Glycolysis 2) The Citric acid cycle 3) Electron Transport and ATP synthesis
33
Electrons that are being moved to make ATP are carried by ____, made from ____ with a H+ ion.
NADH, NAD+
34
What happens in Glycolysis?
6 carbon glucose molecule is broken into 3 carbon pyruvic acid molecules; creates 2 ATP
35
Where does glycolysis happen?
In the cytosol of the cell
36
What happens in the citric acid cycle?
Pyruvic acid loses CO2 molecule and 2-carbon fragment is left to further metabolize inside the mitochondria by enzymes; electrons are harvested and remaining carbons are released as CO2
37
Where does the citric acid cycle happen?
The mitochondria
38
What happens in electron transport and ATP synthesis?
Electrons are carried by NADH to the ETC; ETC is a series of proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane; produces water
39
Where is the ETC?
In the inner mitochondrial membrane
40
ATP synthase
Enzyme found in the mitochondrial membrane that helps synthesize ATP
41
Anaerobic respiration
A process of energy generation that uses molecules other than oxygen as electron acceptors
42
Fermentation
A process that makes a small amount of ATP from glucose without using a ETC
43
BMI has 5 categories
1) underweight 2) normal weight 3) overweight 4) moderate obesity 5) severe obesity
44
BMI not accurate because it doesn’t take into account of _____ and _____.
Lean muscles mass, body fat
45
Calorie
Amount of energy required to raise the temperate of one gram of water by 1 degree C
46
The protein hormone _________ regulates hunger and alerts the brain if there is not enough body fat to support a pregnancy.
Leptin
47
People who have lost weight by extreme dieting may require _________ calories to maintain their weight than other similar sized people.
Fewer
48
Aerobic cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
49
Glycolysis is a ____ process.
Anaerobic
50
Glycolysis output (3):
1) 2 pyurvate 2) 2 ATP 3) 2 NADH
51
In between Glycolysis and citric acid cycle, ____ is transported into the mitochondria, where it is converted to _____.
Pyruvate, 2 acetyl CoA
52
Calvin cycle outputs (3):
1) 2 ATP 2) 6 NADH 3) 2 FADH2
53
In the ETC, ____ are pumped and create a gradient
