All living organisms, in order to function, grow and produce must:
acquire and use energy in chemical form.
Chemical reactions that an organism carries out is called:
metabolism
Two types of metabolic reactions are:
anabolic and catabolic
Anabolic reactions:
chemical reactions that need energy to make or change chemical bonds
Catabolic reactions:
produce energy from the breaking of chemical bonds
Glucose (C6H12O6) catabolism is:
one of the most common and well known chemical pathways that harvest energy to drive other biochemical pathways.
Plants as autotrophs (self feeders) can harvest energy of the sun to make glucose by a process called:
photosynthesis.
Animals as heterotrophs (fed by others) can't make:
glucose and must consume plants to obtain it.
Plants and animals must break down glucose in a
catabolic reaction in order to release the chemical energy.
Glucose is broken down in a catabolic reaction in the
mitochondria in process called the Krebs Cycle.
During cellular respiration cells harvest energy by breaking bonds and shifting electrons from one molecule to another in a series of:
oxidation-reduction reactions.
Oxidation-reduction reactions can take place in
the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) or absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration)
Fermentation is a type of:
anaerobic respiration using yeast.
In aerobic cellular respiration
oxygen is the final electron acceptor and powers ATP synthesis.
Respiration:
the sum total of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen is conveyed to tissues and cells, and the oxidation products, carbon dioxide and water, are given off.
Synthesis:
the forming or building of a more complex substance or compound from elements or simpler compounds
Anaerobic cellular respiration:
substitutes an inorganic molecule as the final electron acceptor.
Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration where:
an organic molecule is substituted as the final electron acceptor.
Yeast is a single celled organism belonging to the kingdom:
Fungi
Fermentation is one type of anaerobic cellular respiration that allows cells to make:
ATP in the absence of oxygen.
In fermentation the final electron acceptor is:
NAD+
An acetylaldehyde which is converted to ethyl alcohol provides the driving power by:
accepting hydrogen atoms from NADH leading to the production of ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, ATP and heat.
Cellular respiration:
It is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in organisms' cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another.
Cellular respiration:
Make ATP from glucose.
A) aerobic respiration
B) anaerobic respiration
Glycolysis:
glucose converted to pyruvate, ATP, NADH (electron storage molecule). Does not require oxygen to take place. It is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The one metabolic pathway in all living organisms.
Pyruvate conversion:
2 pyruvate converted to 2 Acetyl CoA.
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
Acetyl CoA -> NADH+FADH2 + ATP
Electron Transport Chain:
chemiosis requires O2 as the final electron acceptor. NADH+FADH2-> A LOT OF ATP.
Yeast/Sucrose test was the most reactive and created the most CO2
.
Boiled yeast/Sucrose created the least CO2. Because the heat killed the yeast cells.
.
Sucrose and water created minimal reaction because of the absence of yeast cells for anaerobic respiration.
.
FermentationO6
C6H12O6 = 2C2H5OH+2CO2+2ATP+HEAT
Metabolic properties of fermentation:
releases energy from a carbohydrate without oxygen by producing ethanol or lactate.
Aerobic respiration requires:
oxygen
Anaerobic respiration:
does not require oxygen
Oxygen is:
the final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration
Fermentation:
turns glucose into ethanol, carbon dioxide, ATP and heat.
Glycolysis nets a gain of:
2 ATP molecules and the loss of 2 NAD+ molecules.
Aerobic respiration:
oxygen is is an excellent electron acceptor. NADH electrons given to oxygen to form water. The NAD+ is formed which can then accept some more electrons in glycolysis.
Boiling yeast:
kills yeast cells and prevents their reaction of producing the least amount of CO2.
Why didn't a reaction occur in the sucrose only tube from the lab?
Because it didn't include yeast which is needed to break the sucrose bonds releasing energy & CO2. Prevented a catabolic reaction.
What was the purpose of the warm water bath in the yeast and sucrose fermentation lab?
Heat speeds up the reaction to a certain point. Too much heat will prevent a reaction. Heat provided the optimum temp. for a reaction.
