(183 cards)
Cell stores what?
ATP
How do cells break down ATP to release energy?
Hydrolyze aka H2O.
ADP is a what type of molecule?
Low energy molecule.
What can you use to turn ADP into ATP+H20?
ADP+P(phosphate group)+energy.
What are the three reaction groups of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Citrine Acid Cycle(Krebs Cycle) and Oxidative phosphorylation.
In between Glycolysis and Krebs cycle what occurs(intermediate step)?
Conversion of pyruvate into Acetyl CoAs.
Blood sugar into ATP.
What is the quickest reaction to get ATP?
Glycolysis.
What reactions are involved in creating 95% of ATP and is the slowest?
Krebs Cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation.
Where are the reactions occurring in the cell?
Glycolysis-cytostome, both of krebs and oxidative phosphorylation is found in mitochondria.
What is the definition of cellular respiration?
Series of reactions in which glucose and other nutrients are broken down and the energy released is used to make ATP.
The energy in food is transferred by a flow of __ and __?
Electrons(e-) and protons(H+).
What is the other name for e- and H+?
NADH(NAD+) and FADH2
What do you expel after ATP is broken down?
Carbon dioxide, water and energy.
What is inhaled/used to create energy?
Glucose and oxygen.
Hydrogen Atoms in glucose are taken off one by one.
NADH carries 2 electrons.
What does NAD+ and FADH2 do?
Temporarily carry electrons then release them to the electron transport chain.
ATP is made in 2 ways, ___ and ___.
Directly and Oxidative phosphorylation.
Directly is the process of
ADP+P+energy -> ATP+H2O. Requires Enzymes.
Oxidative uses glucose from food.
What is created and characteristics of glycolysis?
Breaks down 1 glucose → turns to 2 pyruvate molecules(cytostome). It uses 2 ATP(becomes 2 ADP) and produces 2 NADH and 2 H^+ and 4 ATP but only 2 since it uses 2 for this process(4-2=2). It is anaerobic(no oxygen needed).
Glucose has how many carbons and pyruvate has how many carbons?
6 and 3.
Pyruvate is converted to(intermediate step)?
Acetyl CoA.
