Define metabolism. |
Consists of all of the chemical reactions that takeplace in a cell |
|

Oxygen |
|
What happens during aerobic cellular respiration? |
In aerobic cellular respiration cells take in sugar(glucose) and break it down to into carbondioxide and water, this requires oxygen. This process produces energy in the form ofATP C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 +6H2O + Energy |

|
With what does the citric acid cycle start and end? |
Start with 2 Acetyl CoA End with: * 4 CO2 * 2 ATP * 6NADH and2FADH2 |

|
What is the Phase 4 of cellular respiration? |
The electron transport chain |
|
What happens to electrons during the electron transfer chain? |
Electrons of FADH2 and NADH are transferred from one protein to another, until they reach oxygen. |
|
How many ATP (energy) are released in the electron transfer chain? |
Releases energy that results in 32 ATP |
|
Is the electron transfer chain aerobic or anaerobic? |
Aerobic |
|
Summary the important points of the electron transfer chain |
Phase 4: Electron transport chain * Electrons of FADH2 and NADH are transferred from one protein to another, until they reach oxygen * Releases energy that results in 32 ATP *ETC produces ATP suing the ATP synthase protein molecule * Requires oxygen |
|
Explain the big payoff of the electron transfer chain |
The Big Pay Off – Electron Transport Chain * NADH and FADH2 are important carriers ofelectrons * They donate electrons to the electron transportchain * At the end of the chain oxygen accepts theelectrons. *Electron Transport Chain produces ATP using theATP synthase protein molecule * The Electron Transport Chain produces 32 ATP |

|
How is ATP made using the ETC? |
1. In the mitochondria, the NADH and FADH donateelectrons to the electron transport chain (ETC) 2. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor from the ETC 3. The ETC uses the energy from the electrons totransport H+ against the concentration gradient,transporting them from the lumen of themitochondria to the intermembrane space. 4.The ATPsynthase transports the H+ back to thelumen of the mitochondria. 5. The H+ falling through the ATPsynthase providesthe energy for the ATPsynthase to catalyze thereaction of ADP + P →ATP |
|
Summary of Cellular Respiration |
*One molecule of glucose is broken down and 36ATP are generated. * Oxygen is used by the electron transport chain – itaccepts electrons from the ETC * Carbon dioxide is produced by the TransitionReaction and the Citric acid cycle |
|
Summary of Cellular Respiration (Notecard 2) |
*Glycolysis: Starts the process by taking in glucose.Produces 2 ATP * The Transition Reaction produces CO2 and NADH *The Citric acid cycle: Produces 2 ATP but also produces lots of NADH and FADH2. Produces CO2. |
|
Summary of Cellular Respiration (Notecard 3) |
Electron transport chain * Takes electrons from NADH and FADH2and uses them to produce ATP using theATP synthase molecule. * Requires oxygen. Oxygen is the finalelectron acceptor on the electron transportchain * One glucose can produce a total of 36 ATP |

|
What is oxygen's role in cellular respiration? |
*Cellular respiration requires oxygen – this is aerobiccellular respiration * Sometimes organisms, including humans, need toproduce energy without using oxygen *When you need energy quick, or if there is notenough O2 then the cell will use only glycolysis |
|
What happens in anaerobic fermentation? |
*Breakdown of glucose without oxygen * Takes place entirely in the cytoplasm * It is very inefficient - results in only two ATP |
|
What is anaerobic fermentation? |
Anaerobic Fermentation: Anaerobic pathway toproduce ATP from glycolysis without theIntermediate, Citric Acid Cycle, and ETC |
|
Why do animals use fermentation? |
*When cells need energy quick they will use thispathway for a short time * 2 pyruvic acid + 2 NADH → 2 lactate and 2 NAD+ *End result = lactate and 2 ATP produced (from glycolysis) and NAD+ is regenerated |
