Q

2nd law of thermodynamics

A

the law of entropy
the entropy of the universe increases with any change that occurs
in every energy transfer or conversion, some of the useful energy in the system becomes unavailable to do work

Q

free energy

A

energy transformations are never 100% efficient. some energy is always lost to the environment, which leads to an increase in entropy.
energy that is not lost, or the portion left that is available to do (useful) work in the given system is free energy.

Q

redox reactions, electron transfers

A

transfer of electrons/ redox reactions during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules which is used to synthesize ATP

20
Q

oxidation vs reduction

A

loss of electrons from one substance vs addition of electrons to another substance

21
Q

the ______ form of a molecule is always at a higher energy level than the _________ form
and why

A

reduced, oxidized

because electrons that pass from one atom to another carry energy with them

22
Q

electron carriers

A

compounds that pick up electrons from energy-rich compounds and then donate them to low-energy compounds
an electron carrier is recycled

23
Q

all organisms require energy for

A 
active transport
cell division
movement
production of biomolecules
reproduction
temperature regulation
24
Q

how does ATP store energy

A

a lot of stored energy in each bond

bonding of negative P groups is unstable > spring loaded > P groups “pop off” easily & release energy

25
Q

why is ATP unstoreable

A

too reactive
transfers P too easily
only short term storage

26
Q

digest organic molecules to get…

A

raw materials for synthesis

fuels for energy

27
Q

how do we harvest energy from fuels

A

digest large molecules into smaller ones

break bonds and move electrons from one molecule to another
as electrons move they “carry energy” with them
that energy is stored in another bond,
released as heat or harvested to make ATP

28
Q

how do we move electrons in biology

A

electrons cannot move alone in cells

they move as part of an H atom

29
Q

oxidation and reduction in terms of energy

A

oxidation - exergonic, releases energy

reduction - endergonic, stores energy

30
Q

cellular respiration

A

The process by which mitochondria break down
glucose to make ATP
two types: aerobic and anaerobic

31
Q

aerobic respiration

A

requires oxygen and carried out by plants, animals, and some bacteria

32
Q

anaerobic respiration

A

requires no oxygen and carried out by yeast, some bacteria, and sometimes animals

33
Q

3 overall goals of cellular respiration

A

-to break the bonds between glucose to result in
carbon dioxide (producing 6 CO2)
-to move H atom electrons from glucose to oxygen to
form water (producing 6 H2Os)
-to trap as much free energy as possible released in the form of ATP (ultimate goal) accomplished through substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation

34
Q

substrate-level phosphorylation

A

ATP is formed directly in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction
a phosphate-containing compound (PEP or GDP) transfers a phosphate group directly to ADP, forming ATP
This type of energy transfer occurs in glycolysis and in
the Krebs cycle

35
Q

oxidative phosphorylation

A

ATP is formed indirectly
involves sequential redox reaction, with oxygen being the final electron acceptor
More complex
Yields more ATP than substrate-level phosphorlation

36
Q

cellular respiration stages and changes

A

Stage 1: Glycolysis – a 10 step process occurring
in the cy p to lasm
Stage 2: Pyruvate Oxidation – a one-step process
in the mitochondrial matrix
Stage 3: The Krebs cycle – an 8 step cyclical
process in the mitochondrial matrix
Stage 4: Electron transport and chemiosmosis – a
multistep process in the mitochondrial cristae

37
Q

The ETC consists of:

A

4 protein complexes: NADH dehydrogenase complex, complex II, cytochrome bc complex, cytochrome c oxidase complex
2 mobile electron carriers: ubiquinone/coenzyme Q, cytochrome C

38
Q

ATP synthase

A

protons enter the matrix through proton channels associated with ATP synthase (ATPase)
for every H+ that passes through, enough free energy is released to create 1 ATP from the phosphorylation of ADP

39
Q

chemiosmosis

A

a process that uses energy in a hydrogen ion gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane to drive phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP

40
Q

regulation of aerobic respiration

A

feedback inhibition

41
Q

speeding up aerobic respiration

A

high levels of ADP
low levels of citrate
both act on phosphofructokinase (PFK)

42
Q

slow down aerobic respiration

A 
excess ATP (acts on PFK)
accumulation of citrate (acts on PFK)
excess NADH (acts on pyruvate dehydrogenase)
43
Q

lipid catabolism

A

2nd energy source
triglycerides are digested into fatty acids and glycerol
glycerol can be converted to G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) and enter glycolysis
fatty acids undergo beta oxidation (same process as pyruvate oxidation) and enter Krebs cycle

44
Q

protein catabolism

A

first go through deamination where amino groups are removed and converted to ammonia waste product
amino acids are oxidized and can enter as pyruvate, acetyl units, or molecules in Krebs cycle

45
Q

total yield of ATP from cellular respiration

A

2 ATP from glycolysis
2 ATP from krebs cycle
4 ATP from NADH formed during glycolysis
6 ATP from NADH formed during pyruvate oxidation
22 ATP from NADH and FADH2 formed during Krebs cycle
