Cellular Respiration

Front 1

oxidative phosphorylation

Back 1

production of ATP using energy from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain

the third major stage of cellular respiration

Front 2

redox reaction

Back 2

chemical reaction involving the complete or partial transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another
"oxidation-reduction reaction"

Front 3

electron transport chain

Back 3

sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP

Front 4

What makes the distinction between anaerobic respiration and fermentation

Back 4

electron transport chain

Front 5

Why is oxygen usually at end of transport chain?

Back 5

very electronegative

Front 6

what can be used as final electron acceptor at end of chain for anaerobic respiration?

Back 6

electronegative substances other than oxygen

Front 7

Fermentation does not use/harvests?

Back 7

electron transport chain, oxygen- so w/t cell respiration
harvests chemical energy

Front 8

exergonic reaction

Back 8

spontaneous chemical reaction with net release of free energy

Front 9

glycolysis

Back 9

splitting of glucose into pyruvate, serving as the starting point for fermentation or cellular respiration

Front 10

substrate-level phosphorylation

Back 10

formation of ATP by an enzyme directly transferring a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.

Front 11

substrate

Back 11

reactant on which an enzyme works

Front 12

NAD

Back 12

enzyme that can accept an electron; electron carrier in the electron transport chain
