_____ is all the chemical reactions that occur in living cells
metabolism
when ATP reacts with water during a hydrolysis reaction, the bond between ATP's outermost phosphate group and its neighbor is broken, resulting in the formation of ___
ADP (ATP with one less phosphate group)
the reaction of ATP with water in a hydrolysis reaction, forming ADP, is highly ____, releasing energy
exergonic
____ reactions require an input of energy
endergonic
a ______ of energy raises the temp of 1g of water 1ºC
kilocalorie
under standard conditions, a total of 7.3____ of energy per mole of ATP is released during the ATP/hydrolysis reaction
kilocalories
the addition of a phosphate group to a substrate is called _____
phosphorylation
phosphorylation of proteins is exergonic/endergonic?
exergonic because the electrons in ADP and the phosphate group have much less potential energy than they did in ATP
____ reactions involve the loss or gain of one or more electrons
reduction-oxidation reaction, or redox reactions
the atom that loses electrons is oxidized, the atom that gains electrons is reduced
LEO the lion goes GER means what?
Loss of Electrons is Oxidation
Gain of Electrons is Reduction
a reactant that acts as an electron donor is always associated with a reactant that acts as an electron _____
electron donors are always paired with electron acceptors
during a ____ reaction, an electron can be transferred completely from one atom to another, or an electron can simply shift its position in a covalent bond
redox reaction
when something is reduced, it gains/loses electrons?
gains
in many redox reactions, reduction means adding what atoms? and oxidation means removing what atoms?
hydrogen atoms
electron carriers, such as NADH, are said to have ____ power.
why?
reducing power. because electron carriers like NADH readily donate electrons
why is ATP unstable and not stored in the cell?
because it has such high potential energy
which is more efficient? cellular respiration or fermentation
cellular respiration is much more efficient and is the primary source of ATP
what are the four steps of cellular respiration?
1. glycolysis
2. pyruvate processing
3. citric acid cycle
4. electron transport and chemiosmosis
_______ is defined as any suite of reactions that produces ATP in an electron transport chain
cellular respiration
1. glycolysis- what goes in? what comes out?
in- glucose
out- NADH, and ATP
2. Pyruvate processing- what goes in, and what comes out?
in- pyruvate (two for every glucose)
out- NADH and CO2
3. Citric acid cycle- what goes in, and what comes out?
in- acetyl CoA
out- NADH, FADH2, ATP
4. Electron transport chain- what goes in, and what comes out?
in- NADH, FADH2, O2.
Out- ATP, H2O
all 10 reactions of glycolysis occur in the ______
cytosol
in glycolysis, ____ ATP are used up before any are produced
two ATP are used to start glycolysis
what glycolytic enzyme is inhibited by high levels of ATP, stopping glycolysis?
phosphofructokinase
pyruvate reacts with coenzyme A (CoA) and produces_______
acetyl CoA
in what complex does pyruvate react with CoA to produce acetyl CoA?
pyruvate dehydrogenase, in the mitochondrial matrix
in eukaryotes, the pyruvate produced by glycolysis is transported from the cytosol to the ______
mitochondria
pyruvate processing is under both ___ and ___ control. large supplies of products inhibit the enzyme complex. large supplies of reactants and low supplies of products stimulate it.
under positive and negative control
pyruvate processing starts with pyruvate and ends with ___, and releases ____
ends with acetyl CoA, and releases CO2
the citric acid cycle oxidizes ____ to ____
acetyl CoA is oxidized to CO2
in eukaryotes, most of the enzymes responsible for the citric acid cycle are located in the _______
mitochondrial matrix
acetyl CoA goes into the citric acid cycle, and _____, _____, ____, and ____ come out
CO2, NADH, FADH2, and GTP
what are the four products of the citric acid cycle?
CO2, NADH, FADH2 AND GTP
the citric acid cycle is regulated by _______
feedback inhibition - it slows down when ATP and NADH are plentiful
which is associated with larger changes in free energy? production of ATP, or production of NADH and FADH2?
production of NADH and FADH2 have larger changes in free energy
glycolysis, pyruvate processing, and the citric acid cycle transfer electrons from glucose to NAD⁺ and FAD, creating ____ and ____
NADH and FADH₂
NADH and FADH₂ carry electrons to ____, which serves as the final electron acceptor
oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor
the molecules responsible for the oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ are designated the __________
electron transport chain
as electrons are passed from one protein to another in the ETC, the energy released by the redox reactions is used to _____
pump protons across the inner membrane of the mitochondria
what gradient does the ETC establish?
a proton gradient
after the proton gradient is established, a stream of protons through the enzyme ______ drives the production of ATP from ADP and Pᵢ
ATP synthase
once the electrons at the bottom of the ETC are accepted by ___ to form water, the oxidation of ___ is complete
accepted by oxygen to form water, the oxidation of glucose is complete
