1
Q

Draw an ATP Molecule

A
2
Q

What kind of energy level is ATP

A

ATP is a mid-level energy molecule providing -30.5 KJ/mol

A negative number means releasing energy, therefore spontaneous.

3
Q

How are the high energy phosphates groups in ATP stabilized upon hydrolysis?

A
  1. Resonance
  2. Ionization
  3. Charge Replustion
4
Q

Hoe does ATP provide energy?

A

ATP provides energy through hydrolysis and coupling to energetically unfavorable reactions

5
Q

Many oxidation-reduction reactions involve __________ to transport high-energy electrons.

A

An electron carrier

6
Q

What are the two types of electron carriers?

A

Soluble and membrane bound

7
Q

What are flavoproteins?

A

Are one subclass of electron carriers that are derived from riboflavin B2.

8
Q

Name 5 Electron carriers

A

NADH (Glycolysis, Fermentation, Citric Acid Cycle, Electron Transport Chain)

NADPH (Pentose Phosphate Pathway, Lipid biosynthesis, Bleach Formation, Oxidative Stress, Photisysntheis )

CoQ Ubiquinone (Electron Transport Chain)

Cytochromes (Electron Transport Chain)

Glutathione (Oxidative Stress)
