A

Part I: photosynthesis

Q

Substrate level phosphorylation

A

Substrate = molecules that bind to enzyme
Molecule with phosphate group AND ADP bind to enzyme
Enzyme causes P to transfer from molecule to ADP to make ATP

Q

Chemiosmosis

A

Electrochemical gradient of H+ ions causes an H+ flow through ATP synthase (enzyme/protein)
ATP synthase joins P to ADP to make ATP by harnessing power of H+ flow

Q

ATP releases energy (P) for other molecules to do work

A
  1. Active transport

2. Movement of organelles on “cytoskeleton highway”

24
Q

Cell respiration takes place in the cell’s mitochondria

A

100-1000s of mitochondria in each cell

2 outer membranes (sign/evidence for endosymbiosis)

25
Inner membrane
First one Highly folded folks called cristae Chemiosmosis happens here More surface area for chemical reactions
26
Intermembrane space
Second one | Stores H+ to create concentration gradient
27
Matrix
Third one Very inner part of mitochondrion Locale where a series of chemical reactions strip off H+ from glucose (citric acid/krebs cycle)
28
Three steps of cellular respiration and what they do
Glycolysis, breaking down of glucose (cytoplasm) Citric acid/Krebs cycle, stripping of H+ (matrix) Oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain and chemiosmosis (cristae) (inner membrane)
29
Glycolysis
``` Splitting of sugar Anaerobic process (no O2 needed yet) Add two ATP to get process going Produce four ATP Two net ATP produced Series of ten chemical reactions Starts with glucose NAD+ is the uber, carries electrons from one place to another H is energy from glucose ```
30
Bacteria
Bacteria only need a little energy so use this | Humans too active, need more ATP than glycolysis makes
31
Glycolysis products
2 NADH, 2 pyruvate (2 C3), 2 net ATP
32
Glycolysis with oxygen present
Aerobic respiration, we need O2, ATP
33
Glycolysis with oxygen absent
Fermentation (anaerobic) | Remove H from NADH so that NAD+ can go back to glycolysis
34
Two types of fermentation
Alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation
35
Pyruvate grooming
3C (pyruvate) from glycolysis (too large to enter mitochondrion) Exhale (release) CO2 Coenzyme A goes in, functional group from cytoplasm NAD+ to NADH, what comes out is Acetyl CoA, helps C2 get into mitochondria
36
Products of pyruvate grooming
NADH, CO2, Acetyl CoA
37
Acetyl CoA
Help C2 get into mitochondria
38
Citric acid cycle
2 Acetyl CoA/ because two pyruvate soldiers formed in glycolysis, two cycles happening at once Acetyl CoA is a well connected celebrity, drops off two C and picks up more 6C bonds with Acetyl CoA, releases CoA, makes 6 carbon (citrate) Releases 2 CO2, four carbon left NAD+ to NADH (released) ATP FAD to FADH2 Redox reactions happening
39
Oxidative phosphorylation
Uses electron transport and chemiosmosis in mitochondria Energy from citric acid cycle used to pump H+ into intermembrane space Oxygen receives electrons (very electronegative)
40
Rotenone, consider, carbon monoxide
Blocks electron transport chain No H+ gradient Prevents O2 and H from binding
41
Oligomycin
Blocks chemiosmosis | Creates leaky H+ ions
42
Fermentation
Alternate respiration pathway that enables cells to produce ATP without oxygen Metabolic pathway that generates ATP during ATP during fermentation is glycolysis, uses no O2 To oxidize glucose in glycolysis, NAD+ must be rpe sent as an electron acceptor When under anaerobic conditions, where oxygen is not present, fermentation provides an anaerobic path for recycling NADH back to NAD+
43
Dehydrogenase
Regulates redox reactions
44
How many does one NADH yield
Maximum 3 ATP
45
How many does one FADH2 yield
Maximum two ATP
46
cell respiration
The process of breaking down “food” (glucose molecules) in the presence of oxygen, ATP molecules (cell energy molecules) are produced. Much of it happens in the mitochondria.
47
glycolysis
One molecule of glucose (6 carbons) is converted into two 3 carbon pyruvic acid molecules. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cytoplasm and is considered anaerobic because no oxygen is required during this process. 2 ATP molecules needed to start the process. 4 ATP are actually produced, 2 ATP = net gain
48
citric acid cycle
1) Pyruvic acid (from glycolysis) is converted to Acetyl “CoA” which is broken down into carbon dioxide (CO2) in a series of energy-extracting reactions. 2) It is an aerobic process (requires O2) & is located in the mitochondrion. The inner folds called cristae increases the surface area for chemical reactions involved in cell respiration.(more ATPS made)3) For each 3-carbon pyruvic acid, 1 ATP is produced. Therefore a total of 2 ATPs are produced from one glucose.4) Protons (H+ ions) and electrons are carried by special compounds (NADH & FADH2) from Krebs Cycle for use in the Electron Transport Chain.
49
oxidative phosphorylation
Takes place within the mitochondria. 2) Electrons are carried & ATPs are produced: High energy electrons from Krebs cycle are passed from one “electron carrier” to the next. Energy given off from this process permits ATP synthase located on the inner membrane to produce ATPs. 3) One glucose molecule is responsible for the gain of 34 ATP molecules from E.T. 4) Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain. The O2, electrons are combined with hydrogen ions to produce H2O.Due to the proton concentration gradient produced, the protons diffuse back across the membrane to the matrix, through ATP synthase enzyme complex. This is called chemiosmosis. It produces 34 ATPs.
50
glycolysis start, end, products
starts with 1 glucose, during 2 atp and 2 nadh released, end result is 2 pyruvate 2 net atp what goes in is also 2 adp and 2 phosphate groups (2 atp), 2 nad+
51
pyruvate grooming start, end, products
starts with one pyruvate, during co2 and nadh released, 2 carbon left from pyruvate combines with coenzyme a to make one acetyl CoA 0 net atp what else goes in is nad+ and coenzyme a
52
citric acid cycle start, end, products
starts with one acetyl CoA, joins with four carbon after coa leaves, during 2 co2, 3 nadh, one atp, one fadh2 released what else goes in is four carbon, 3nad+, adp + p, fad
53
oxidative phosphorylation start, end, products
starts with nadh and fadh2 shuttling electrons through the etc, creates h+ gradient, h+ go through inner membrane through atp synthase, gives atp synthase power, then can combine p and adp to make atp 34 net atp
54
Protist
Single called organism, doesn't need oxidative phosphorylation
55
Final electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration
Anaerobic is NADH | Aerobic is o2
