CellularRespiration-
|
Theprocess in which organisms convert the energy in molecules of glucose intousable energy. -producing ATP |
|
aerobicrespiration
|
§atype of cellular respiration where the final electron acceptor is oxygen |
|
anaerobicrespiration
|
§atype of cellular respiration where the final electron acceptor is inorganicmolecule other than oxygen |
|
fermentation
|
§atype of cellular respiration where the final electron acceptor is an organicmolecule |
|
Intermembranecompartment
|
isbetween the 2 membrans
|
|
Matrix
|
enclosedby highly folded inner membrane
|
|
ATP
|
synthasefound in inner membrane
|
|
Mitochondria
|
•Consistof outer and inner membrane |
|
*
Stages of aerobic respiration |
•Glycolysis •Acetyl-CoA formation and Krebs cycle •Electron transfer phosphorylation (ATPformation) • |
|
glycolysis-glycolysis breakdown starts
|
•The reactions of glycolysis convertone molecule of glucose to two molecules of pyruvate for a net yield of two ATP |
|
glycolysis
|
•Two ATP are used to split glucoseand form 2 PGAL, each with one phosphate group •Enzymes convert 2 PGAL to 2 PGA,forming 2 NADH |
|
Acetyl-CoAformation
|
•In the inner compartment of themitochondrion, enzymes split pyruvate, forming acetyl CoA and CO2(which diffuses out of the cell) |
|
•Krebscycle |
•A sequence of enzyme-mediated reactionsthat break down 1 acetyl CoA into 2 CO2 •Oxaloacetate is used and regenerated •3 NADH and 1 FADH2 are formed •1 ATP is formed |
|
•Electrontransfer phosphorylation (electron transport chain) |
•Occurs in mitochondria •Results in attachment of phosphate to ADPto form ATP |
|
•Alcoholicfermentation |
•Pyruvate is split into acetaldehyde and CO2 •Acetaldehyde receives electrons andhydrogen from NADH, forming NAD+ and ethanol • |
|
•Lactatefermentation |
•Pyruvate receives electrons and hydrogenfrom NADH, forming NAD+ and lactate |
|
*
Carbohydrates |
•Enzymes break starch and othercomplex carbohydrates down to monosaccharide subunits |
|
*
Fats |
•Enzymes cleave fats into glyceroland fatty acids •Glycerol products enter glycolysis •Fatty acids are converted to acetyl Co-Aand enter the Krebs cycle |
|
*
proteins |
•Enzymes split dietary proteins intoamino acid subunits, which are used to build proteins or other molecules |
