Chapter 7 Flashcards
(30 cards)
Define Respiration
How an organism obtains energy
Define Heterotrophs
Live on organic compounds produced by other organisms
Define Autotrophs
Organisms that produce their own organic molecules thru photosynthesis
Define Cellular Respiration
A series of reactions
Define Oxidation
Loss of electrons
Define Dehydrogenations
Lost electrons accompanied by loss of proton (1:1)
During redox, electrons carry
energy from one molecule to another
NAD+ is a ____ ____ that accepts…
electron carrier, accepts 2 electrons and 1 proton, making NADH
Redox is
REVERSIBLE
Anaerobic’s Final Electron is
INORGANIC
Aerobic’s Final Electron is
OXYGEN
Fermentation’s Final Electron is
ORGANIC
cells use ___ to drive endergonic reactions
ATP
2 mechanisms for synthesis
- Substrate Level Phosphorylation
- Oxidative Phosphorylation
Explain Substrate Level Phosphorylation
Transfers phosphate group to ADP
Explain Oxidative Phosphorylation
ATP synthase uses energy from a protein gradient
Oxidation Of Glucose, 4 steps involved
- Glycolysis
- Pyruvate Oxidation
3.Krebs Cycle - Electron Transport
Glycolysis occurs in the
Cytoplasm
Glycosis converts
1 Glucose (6 carbons) to 2 Pyruvate (3 carbons)
Glycolysis ends in a net production of
2 ATP Molecules
NADH must be recycled in order for
Glycolysis to continue
NADH must be recycled by either…
- Aerobic Respiration or 2.Fermentation
In aerobic respiration, __ is available but in fermentation __ is not available
o2, o2
The Fate of a Pyruvate is dependent on
o2 availability
