19
Q

What does G3P become after losing carboxyl group

20
Q

Acetyl CoenzymeA

A

Entry compound for citric acid cycle in cellular respiration, formed by 2 carbon fragment of pyruvate attached to coenzyme

21
Q

What is acetyl CoA potential energy used for

A

Transferring the acetyl group in the carbon cycle

22
Q

Function of Cristae in mitochondria

A

Increase surface area

23
Q

Prosthetic groups

A

Non-protein parts attached to vital proteins for ETC. like coenzymes and cofactors

24
Q

Cytochromes

A

Iron containing proteins that are components of ETC

25
What happens to oxygen after receiving the 2 electrons
It turns into water molecule
26
Which protein does FADH2 add electrons to in the ETC
Complex 2
27
ATP synthase
Complex membrane proteins that use chemiosmosis with energy from H+ diffusion to make atp
28
Chemiosmosis
Energy coupling mechanism that uses energy in the form of H+ gradient across membrane to drive cellular work
29
How does the ETC pump H+ across msmbrane
Using the exergonic flow of electrons from NADH & FADH2
30
Where does H+ go when energy from electrons are exerted in ETC
From Mitochondrial matrix to inter membrane space
31
Proton motive force
potential energy stored in a proton electrochemical gradient, generated by pumping ions across membranes during chemiosmosis
32
What is the sequence of respiration flow
Glucose➡️NADH➡️ETC➡️proton-motive force➡️ATP
33
What happens if O2 is not in ETC
The ETC will stop and get plugged
34
Alcohol fermentation
Glycolysis followed by the reduction of pyruvate to ethyl alcohol, regenerating NAD+ & releasing CO2
35
Lactic acid
Glycolysis followed by the reduction of pyruvate to lactate regenerating NAD+ but no CO2 release
36
Final electron acceptor in lactic acid
Pyruvate
37
Final electron acceptor in alcohol
Acetaldehyde
38
Obligate anaerobes
Organisms that carry out only fermentation or anaerobic respiration
39
Facultative anaerobes
Organism that makes ATP by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present but switches to anaerobic respiration or fermentation if oxygen is absent
40
What must happen for protein to be used as feul
The amino group must be removed from the amino acid
41
Deanination
Removal of the amino group from protein
42
Beta oxidation
Metabolic sequence that breaks fatty acids down to 2 carbon fragments which enter citric acid cycle as acetyl CoA
43
What happens to the glycerol of fat
It is converted to glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate
