Metabolism

All chemical reactions that help keep an organism alive

Byosynthesis

The act of small organic molecules bonding together to make a bigger and more complex one

This can be done to make proteins me necleic acids for cell growth

Decomposition

Breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones

Cell respiration

When cells breakdown substances to get energy

Aerobic

The cells ability to do work with the use of exercise oxygen

Hard work outs


Carbs fats and proteins are needed

Anarobic

the cells ability to do work without the use of oxygen

Walking or stretching

Formentation

Turns sugars into acids or gases

This only occurs mostly in bacteria

Glycolysis

The oxidization of glucose to create a small amount of ATP by using some phosphate and ATP

This is the first stage in aerobic respiration

Glucose

A bonded molecule that contains energy for cells to do work

It's also called sugar

Krebs cycle

Two left over carbon molecules are left over from glycolysis and are completely oxidized to creat carbon dioxide

This allows some additional ATP to form while conserving some energy


This is the second stage in aerobic respiration

NAD/NADH

As glucose loses electrons it reduces to NAD. As hydrogen is released for, stages one and two of aerobic respiration, NAD is reduced to NADH.

Nicotine adenine dinucleotide


This is similar to the molecule NADP that is released in plants during photosynthesis


Also helps to reduce oxygen to make water this reaction creates some ATP

FAD/FADH2

During the Krebs cycle, some hydrogen reduces to FAD. When FAD bonds with two more hydrogen sulfide it turns into FAD2

Flavin adenine dinucleotide


Reduces oxygen to help create water. The energy released by doing this is used to make ATP

Electron transport system

A system of easily reduced and oxidized molecules

ATP

Energy able to be used by the cell to do work

A major carrier of energy for the cell

Pyruvate

An acid produced during the fourth step in glycolysis

Lactate

a three carbon atom produced by Pyruvate when enough oxygen isn't present

If oxygen isn't present for Pyruvate acid to bond with, then Pyruvate will be cycled back onto the glygolyisis cycle by reversing oxidization and turning it it into NAD and lactate.

Lactic acid fermentation

The cycle of Pyruvate continually being cycled back into the glycolysis cycle until enough oxygen is present

Mitochondrion

An organism in which the Krebs cycle takes place

Mitochondria is the power house of the cell it is litereally the only thing remember from science


Where most ATP is synthesized


Singular form

Matrix

The inside of the Cristae

Cristae

Folds inside of a mitochondrion

Enzymes are stored here that are used for the Krebs cycle

Acetate

Left over from a Pyruvate molecule

Two carbon organic acid also during the same step it reduces one NAD to NADP

Citrate

When acetyl CoA bonds to oxaloacetate it forms citrate

A six carbon acid

coenzyme A/acetyl CoA

When Coenzyme A (carrier) binds to acetate it forms acytyl COA

Carries acetate to the Krebs cycle within the mitochondria

Cytochromes

Easy to reduce amd oxidized molecules that are carried in the electron transport system

These proteins are emended in the inner membrane of the mitochondria

Facultative aerobes

A type of bacteria that can go long periods of time by using aerobic respiration or fermentation

Obligate anaerobes

Bacteria that are poisoned by oxygen. These bacteria can only create energy through fermentation or Anarobic respiration

These organisms are always bacteria

Obligate aerobes

Organisms that require oxygen in order to create ATP

These organisms are always animals and plants

Oxidize

Adding oxygen to a molecule to release energy

Hydrolysis

Instead of breaking a bond with water, a bond is broken by adding water

Reduce

When molecules gain electrons

ATP synthase

An important enzyme that is used to create ATP
