Q

cellular respiration

A

major catabolic pathway. metabolic reactions used by cells to harvest energy from food. energy is released when reduced molecules with many C-C and C-H bonds are oxidized to CO2. this oxidation of glucose to CO2 is done in a series of small steps. 3 pathways: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle. goal is to break down glucose into NADH and then make ATP

Q

citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle

A

third step in cellular respiration in mitochondrial matrix. two 2 carbon acetyly CoA are added to 4 C to make 6 C molecule. it breaks back down to 4 C (for the next cycle) and in these redox reactions a bunch of NADH is formed (to make ATP in the next step) and 2 ATP is made

The Calvin Cycle
ATP and NADPH from electron transport in chloroplast goes here. this is the carbon-fixation reaction of photosynthesis. occurs in stroma of chloroplast. ATP and NADPH is used to fix CO2 (reduce CO2) into sugar/carbs.
22
occurs in our muscle cells when we are too tired. starts with glycolysis. glucose to pyruvate to 2 lactic acid (lactate) and NADH is regenerated to NAD+. produces 2 lactic acid and 2 ATP. temporary for when O2 isnt available.
lactic acid fermentation
24
fermentation
reoxidizes NADH to NAD+ so glycolysis can continue. occurs in cytoplasm. only creates 2 ATP from glycolysis. occurs in absense of O2 (anaerobic). 2 types: lactic acid and alcoholic
26
a transmembrane protein (enzyme) in inner mitochondrial membrane. helps proton diffuse across the membrane. this converts potential energy of protein gradient into ATP (ATP synthesis!) in the process chemiosmosis. this produces about 30 ATP from one glucose molecule

52
electron transport chain / respiratory chain
carrier proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane that produce a series of redox reactions. NADH from citric acid cycle is oxidized to NAD+ here. electrons lost from NADH will travel to these carrier protein and transferred down the chain until it is accepted by O2 (final electron acceptor) and gets reduced to H2O. as electrons are passed down the chain, protons are pumped across inner mitochondrial membrane to create an electrochemical gradient.
