Where does glycolysis occur? |
in the cytosol of the cell |
|
|
in glycolysis a six carbon glucose molecule is broken down into??? |
2 molecules of pyruvate, a 3 carbon molecule |
|
|
in glycolysis a co-enzyme NAD+ gains an electron and becomes |
NADH |
|
|
Glycolysis produces |
2 pyruvate, 2 NADH, 2ATP, 2H+, H20 and heat |
|
|
2x pyruvate enters the mitochrondrion and is converted into??? (aerobic) |
2x Acetyl-CoA and C02 and another NADH |
|
|
Where does the Krebs cycle occur? |
occurs in the matrices of the mitochrondria |
|
|
what is the krebs cycle? |
2x aceyl-CoA go through an enzymatic process |
|
|
the krebs cycle results in??? |
Co2 x1 NADH x3 FADH2 x1 H+ ATP x1 GTP x1 |
|
|
whee does the electron transport chain occur? |
occurs accross the inner membrane of the mitochrondrion |
|
|
1. At the first complex on the inner membrane electron carrier NADH releases its electrons and becomes??? |
NAD+ |
|
|
2. at the next smaller complex FADH2 releases its electrons and becomes??? |
FAD |
|
|
The protein complexes act as proton pumps... as the electrons pass along the membrane the protonn pumps transport H+ from the matrix into the intermembrane space.....creating.... |
an electrochemical gradient in the intermembrance space |
|
|
How are electrons mopped up? |
At the last pump in the chain electrons are released back into the matrix, where they combine with half a molecure and H+ to create water... |
|
|
oxidative phosphorylation is ??? |
ADP + Pi become ATP |
|
|
Chemiosmosis is? |
the use of H+ to energise a pump/rotor |
