|
reduction
|
gain of electrons and become more negative
|
|
|
reducing agent
|
reduces the other molecule by becoming oxidized itself
|
|
|
oxidation
|
lose of electrons and become more positive
|
|
|
oxidizing agent
|
oxidizes other molecule by stealing electrons
|
|
|
redox
|
something is reduced, something is oxidized
|
|
|
redox in respiration
|
glucose is oxidized in respiration, oxygen is reduced
|
|
|
NADH
|
NAD+ + H+ + 2e-
|
|
|
FADH2
|
FAD + 2H
|
|
|
H
|
H+ + e-
|
|
|
ETC
|
Electrons lose a little potential energy every time they go from one carrier to the next. The carrier that receives them becomes reduced, and when it passes them, becomes oxidized. Each carrier is more electronegative than the last.
|
|
|
substrate level phosphorylation
|
phosphate is stripped directly from one molecule and bonded to an ADP to make ATP
|
|
|
oxidative phosphorylation
|
addition of a phosphate to ADP by ATP synthase as a result of ETC activity
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
2 pyruvate, 4-2 ATP, 2NADH
|
|
|
acetyl co A
|
pyruvic acid + coenzyme A makes acetyl co A and CO2
|
|
|
Investment phase
|
2 ATP are invested in glycolysis
|
|
|
payoff
|
2 NADH per glucose molecule
2 ATP per (2) carbon sugars (4) |
|
|
Krebs
|
1 ATP, 3 NADH and 1 FADH2 per turn (turns 2x)
|
