How much do you multiply fat by to get calories?
9
How much do you multiply sugar by to get calories?
4
How much do you multiply protein by to get calories?
4
What is included in calories?
protein, fat, and sugar
Plants are autotrophs or heterotrophs?
autotrophs
How do autotrophs make food?
through sunlight and convert radiant energy into chemical energy
How do heterotrophs make food?
live off energy produced by autotrophs—-extract energy vis digestion and catabolism
What is cellular resperiaiton?
series of metabolic reactions that breakdown food and produce ATP
What are the two types of cellular respiration?
aerobic and anaerobic
Does aerobic respiration use oxygen?
yes
Which form of respiration uses oxygen as a reactant?
aerobic respiration
What is the goal of respiration?
produce ATP
What type of reactions does respiration use?
redox reactions
When is energy released in respiration? in what form?
oxidation reaction in the form of electrons
What type of respiration is it when oxygen is the final electron acceptor?
aerobic reaction
What type of respiration is it when oxygen is the final electron acceptor?
aerobic reaction
What is the empirical formula for glucose?
C6 H12 O6
How many ATP is made from one molecule of glucose?
32
Why can’t glucose reaction happen in one step?
delta G is really large, it would cause an explosion if that much free energy was released at once
What are the properties of electron carriers?
soluble, membrane-bound, move within membrane
Can all carriers be easily oxidized and reduced?
yes
What does NAD+ become when it accepts an electron?
NADH
What is dehydrogenase?
an enzyme that facilitates the transfer of electrons from a fuel molecule to an electron carrier
What is the structure of NAD+?
adenine, 2 ribose, 2 phosphates, nicotinamide
