cellular respiration

EXTRACT ENERGY
in the cells of plants and animals, high energy bonds of food molecules are broken down... releasing energy |
|
glycolysis
|
splitting of sugar and it is the first step that all organisms on the planet take in breaking down food molecules
|
|
3 steps in breaking down food
|
glycolysis , the krebs cycle and the elctron transport chain
|
|
pyruvate
|
glucose broken down, turning intoo two molecules
|
|
2 phases of glycolysis
|
up hill prep phase and downhill payoff phase
|
|
where does glycolysis take place
|
in the cell cytoplasm
|
|
how is the energy created from breaking chemical bonds in food molecules used
|
to produce high energy molecules=> ATP and NADH
|
|
shere do the pyruvate molecules go after glycolysis
|
they move from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria
|
|
step 1 of acetyl coA production
|
each pyruvate molecule passes a high energy electron and proton to the electron carrier molecule NAD+= 2 NADH molecules
|
|
step 2 of acetyl coa production
|
2 pyruvate molecules each - a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms and released as co2=> diffuse out of the cell and eventually out of organism ( in humans they are released when we exhale)
|
|
step 3 of acetyl coa production
|
coenzyme A attatches itself to remains of each pyruvate molecule producing two molecules called acetyl coa... each of those goes into krebs cycle
|
|
step 1 of the krebs cycle
|
an acetyl-coa molecule enters the cucle and binds to oxaloacetate, creating a six carbon molecule
|
|
step 2 of krebs cycle
|
high energy electron carriers are made and carbon dioxide is exhaled
six carbon molecule donates electrons to NAD+, creating NADH two carbon molecules are released into the atmosphere |
|
step 3 of krebs cycle
|
oxaloacetate is reformed, ATP is generated, and more high energy electron carriers are formed
remaining 4 carbon molecule is rearranged to form oxaloacetate, ATP is formed and electron sare passed to NADH and FADH2 |
|
glycolysis
|
the six carbon starting point
glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate no carbons are removed |
|
preparation for the krebs cycle
|
two carbons are released
two pyruvate molecules are modified to enter the krebs cycle and they each lose a carbon atom tin the form of the two molecules of carbon dioxide |
|
krebs cycle
|
last four carbons are released a total of four carbon atoms enter the krebs cycle in the form of acetyl -coA for each turn of the krebs cycle, two molecules of carbon dioxide are released. so the two final carbons are released into the atmosphere
|
|
what happens to any additional energy used in glycolysis
|
pyruvate is chemically modified, then in krebs cycle modified pyruvate broken down=> release co2 into the atmosphere, and captures some of the released energy in two atp molecules
|
|
elements of the electron transport chain
|
during each step in sequence of electron transport chain each electron looses a little bit of energy
|
|
what happens at the end of the electron transport chain
|
low energy electron sare handed off to oxygen, which then combines with free H+ ions to form water
|
|
step 1. cellular respiration
|
1. glucose breaks into 2 pyruvate molecules yield ATP
|
|
where in the cell does cellular respiration take place
|
mitochondria
|
|
step 2 cellular respiration
|
acetyl co-A is created as pyruvate breaks down and yields co2 adn then coenzyme A attatches itself to the remaining pyruvate
|
|
step 3. krebs cycle
|
acetyl co-A goes into the krebs cycle binds with oxaloacetate=> six carbon molecule+ NAD+= NADH=> 2 co2 molecules into the atmosphere = which means 6 turns into 4 molecule carbon TOTAL YIELD= NADH, FADH2 AND ATP
|
|
step four electron transport chain
|
electrons bind with oxygen to create water and atp
|
|
fermentation
|
process by which cell respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen
|
|
oxygen deficiency limits breakdown of ____ because _________________ chain requires oxygen as the final acceptor of ___________ during chemical reactions of glycolysis and krebs cycle
|
fuel; electron transport; electrons
|
|
2 features of DNA
|
1 DNA are passed down from parent to offspring
2 instructions on how to create a body and control its growth, development, and behavior are encoded in dna molecule |
|
nucleotides
what do they contain |
individual units in DNA and have 3 components a molecule of sugar, phosphate group , and a nitrogen containing molecule- base
|
|
DNA is a ______________ a macromolecule that stores info. consists of individual units called___________ ... consists of a sugar, phosphate group and nitrogen containing base
|
nucleic acid; nucleotides
