24
Glycolysis
Breaks down glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate
25
Where does Glycolysis occur?
In the cytoplasm
26
Glycolysis can take place..
In both the presence and absense of oxygen
27
The citric acid cycle does what?
Completes the breakdown of glucose
28
The citric acid cycle occurs in... | In the presence of?
the mitochondrial matrix In the presence of oxygen
29
Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in...
The inner mitochondrial membrane
30
Oxidative phosphorylation
Accounts for most Id the ATP synthesis
31
Oxidative phosphorylation is powered by?
Redox reactions
32
A small amount of ATP is formed in glycolysis and The citric acid cycle by?
Substrate-level phosphorylation
33
2 major phases of Glycolysis
Energy investment phase | Energy payoff phase
34
Energy investment phase
2 ATP is used
35
Energy payoff phase
4 ATP formed 2 NADH + 2 H+ 2 pyruvate + 2 H2O
36
What is the net of Glycolysis?
Glucose --> 2 pyruvate + 2 H2O 4 ATP - 2 ATP used --> 2 ATP 2 NAD+ + 4e- + 4H+ --> 2 NADH + 2 H+
37
What does acetyl CoA do?
Links The citric acid cycle to Glycolysis
38
Pyruvate enters the _____ in the presence of ______
Mitochondrion Oxygen
39
What has to happen before The citric acid cycle can being?
Pyruvate must be converted to acetyl CoA
40
Where does The citric acid cycle take place?
Mitochondrial matrix
41
Another name for the Citric Acid Cycle
Krebs cycle
42
What happens in the Citric Acid cycle? | What is the result?
The cycle oxidizes organic fuel derived from pyruvate. | generating 1 ATP, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2
43
How does the acetyl group join the cycle?
By combining with oxaloacetate. Forming citrate
44
The next 7 steps of the citric acid cycle...
Decompose the citrate back to oxaloacetate, making the the process a cycle
45
Where is NADH and FADH2 produced? and what do they do?
There were producer from the cycle and they relay extracted electrons to the electron transport chain
46
What are the 2 parts of oxidation phosphorylation?
Electron transport chain Chemiosmosis
47
Where is the electron transport chain located?
On the cristae of the mitochondrion
48
What does the electron transport chain mostly consist of?
Proteins in multiprotein complexes
49
What happens in the electron transport chain?
NADH or FADH2 results on NAD+ and FAD Electrons are passed through a Number a proteins to O2
50
What is the final electron acceptor?
Oxygen
51
Chemiosmosis is also known as...
The energy-coupling mechanism
52
What is chemiosmosis?
The use of energy in a H+ gradient to drive cellular work
53
The H+ gradient us referred to as a...
