Respiration Flashcards
(28 cards)
Reduce
Taking in an electron
Oxidize
Losing an electron
Wavelength
The distance between crest
ATP
Usable energy of a cell.
Cell respiration
The process of breaking down food to make energy
Cell respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ➡️ 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
Glucose
C6H12O6
NAD+
Electron carrier
NADH
The reduced version of NAD+
FADH+
Another electron carrier
NADH2
The reduced version of NADH+
NADH and FADH2 carrier what? where?
They carrier electrons to the electron transport chain
All you should know about the electron transport chain
Once NADH and FADH2 reach the electron transport chain the oxidize back to their original form (NAD+ and FADH+). Also, the electrons are passed to series of carriers, each carrier has a stronger attraction for an electron than the other. O2 is the end carrier.
Types of energy
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Chemical energy
Define kinetic energy
Energy in motion
Define potential energy
Stored energy
Chemical energy
Energy of the cell… ATP is the chemical, usable energy of a cell.
Two ways to make ATP
Substrate-Level Phosphorylation
Oxidative Phosphorylation
What is Substrate-Level Phosphorylation?
When enzymes transfer a phosphate group from an organic substance to ADP
What is Oxidative Phosphorylation?
Use the potential energy in concentration gradients
ATP synthase (protein in the membrane) make ATP as concentrated H+ ions diffuse through the synthase. This makes the majority of the ATP
ADP
The pre stage of atp..
Stages of respiration
Glycolysis
Transition
Krebs cycle
Electron transport chain
What happens in glycolysis?
Means splitting sugar
Breaks the 6 carbon glucose into 2, 3 carbon pyruvate
It requires two ATP to start, 4 are made by the end, so 2 ATP or netted through substrate-level phosphorylation
Also forms 2 NADH Happens in the cytoplasm
Transition
Pyruvate can not enter the Krebs Cycle
It must first combine with CoEnzyme A (known as the transition step)
2 CO2 molecules, 2 NADH and 2 Acetyl CoA molecules are formed
