|
Glycolysis |
Anaerobic breakdown of glucose by enzymes resulting in the creation of energy and pyruvate acid. |
|
|
Coenzyme |
Not a protein, transports groups between enzymes |
|
|
Isomeration reaction |
Shape is changed by isomerase. |
|
|
Reduction |
Gain Electrons |
|
|
Oxidation |
Lose electron |
|
|
Pyruvate |
molecule that is left over when a cell breaks down glucose during glycolysis |
|
|
ATP |
high-energy molecule that stores energy, it's a coenzyme for energy |
|
|
NADH |
Oxidized to NAD+ |
|
|
Chemiosmosis |
Ability of certain membranes to use a hydrogen ion gradient to drive ATP formation. |
|
|
FAD |
a coenzyme of oxidation-reduction that becomes FADH2 as oxidation of substrates occurs, and then delivers electrons to the electron transport chain in mitochondria during cellular respiration. |
|
|
FADH2 |
FADH2 is produced during the Krebs cycle of cellular respiration. It then brings the electrons to the cytochrome complex. |
|
|
Transition Reaction |
The Transition Reaction converts the two molecules of the 3-carbon pyruvate from glycolysis into two molecules of Acetyl-CoA |
|
|
Acetyl-CoA |
an enzyme that carries the carbon atoms of the acetyl group to the Kreb's cycle to be oxidized for energy production. It is produced by decarboxylation of pyruvate in the matrix of the mitochondria. |
|
|
Decarboxylation reaction |
removes carboxyl and releases co2 |
|
|
Phosphorylation reaction |
addition of phosphor group |
|
|
Inner mitochondrial membrane |
mitochondrial membrane which separates the mitochondrial matrix from the intermembrane space. |
|
|
Mitochondrial Matrix |
The mitochondrias cytoplasm. The mitochondrial matrix also contains the mitochondria's DNA and ribosomes. |
|
|
Krebs Cycle |
It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP |
|
|
Electron Transport Chain (ETC) |
a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane. |
|
|
Proton Pump |
membrane that is able to move protons across membranes. creates a gradient that helps create ATP... |
|
|
Mobile electron carriers |
Moving electron carriers ... |
|
|
ATP Synthase |
It transports a proton down the gradient and uses the energy to complete the phosphorylation of ADP toATP. |
