Q

electron transport chain

A
  1. it is a series of proteins on a membrane
  2. accepts electrons from electron carrier
  3. reduces the energy of electrons
  4. energy from the electrons is used to actively transport H+ across the membrane
  5. oxygen is final electron acceptor

Q

chemiosmosis

A
  1. the H gradient created by the electron transport chain is a form of potiential energy
  2. H+ crosses the membrane through an enzyme (ATP synthase) enzyme because ase ending
  3. the kinetic energy in the movement at H+ is converted to potential energy in ATP

14
Q

involves two sets of reactions for gycolysis

A
  1. energy input- addition of phosphates to gluclose (requires energy)
  2. energy removal- removal of phosphates (onto ATP) removal of electrons

Q

2 ways ATP is made in respiration

A
  1. chemiosmosis

2. substrate level phosphorylation: phosphate is transferred from an organic molecule to ADP

16
Q

pyruvic acid is converted into

A

a two carbon compound before it enters the krebs cycle

17
Q

krebs (citric acid) cycle

A
  1. electrons transferred to NAD and FAD
  2. CO2 is produced
  3. ATP is produced by substrate level phosphorilation
18
Q

in non- photosynthetic organisms CO2 is

A

a waste product

19
Q

without what does the electrons transport chain stop operating

20
Q

what happens when no O2 is available

A

fermentation: oxidation of organic compounds in the absence of oxygen
glycolysis produces ATP and NADH
without O2 glycolysis results in a buildup of NADH (and a drop in NAD)

21
Q

two fermentation processes remove the electrons from NAHD using pyruuvic acid

A
  1. alcohol fermentation

2. lactic acid fermentation

22
Q

prokaryotes can use a number of electron accpetors in addition to O2

A

metals
sulfur compounds
organic molecules
this allows them to live in an O2, free environment

23
Q

overall energy production

A

each NADH yields 3 ATP
for NADH produced outside the inner mitochondrial membrane: active transport into the mitochondria requires 1 ATP
each FADH2 yields 2 ATP

24
Q

overview of cellular respiration

A

-living things store energy in electrons in the bonds of organic molecules
-the energy in electrons cam be increased or decreased
-respiration involves the removal of electrons from an organic molecules and the gradual reduction in the energy of each electrons
-the energy released from electrons is used to make ATP
-NAD and FAD act as electron carriers
respiration occurs in three stages
-gycolysis involves energy input and energy release phases. it produces ATP, NAHD, amd pyrvic acid
-the krebs cycle involves the production of CO2, ATP, NADH, and FADH
-most of the atp in cellular respiration is produced during chemiosmosis
-oxygen is the final electrons acceptor in the electron transport chain

25
certain poisons prevent ATP from being made in the mitrochondria 3 classes
1. electron transport chain distrupters 2. ATP synthase 3. uncouplers
26
many different types of organic molecules can be
respired
27
cant get ATP out of
cellulose
28
the products of respiration can be used to make
different organic molecules
29
are certain molecules more likely to make you overweight?
caloric (energy) content of foods OJ: 0.5cal/g bread: 2.8cal/g bacon:5.4cal/g
30
3 different types of sugars
glucose, fructose, galactose
31
in US from 1970's to 1980's there has been an increase in the number of
obese people | but a 4% decrease in total caloric intake and a 10% decrease in the intake of calories from fat consumption
32
fructose has been consumed from
fruits consumption: 15g/day
33
frutose is now mostly consumed by
as sucrose or industrially altered glucose
34
U.S obesity rates have increased
with the consumption of fructose
35
hypotheses to explain the connection between fructose and obesity
fructose is only metabolized in the liver, gluclose is metabolized in all cells consuming fructose does not supress appetite, consuming glucose does fructose is addictive
36
canadian data does not support
a connection between obesity and fructose consumption
