What is the 4th stage of Glucose Metabolism?
|
Oxidative phosphorylation
|
|
What happens in the 4th stage of Glucose Metabolism?
|
High energy electrons are removed from NADH and FADH2 to make ATP.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism typically requires the presence of what?
|
Oxygen.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism is an oxidative process involving what?
|
The electron transport chain.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. Phosphorylation occurs by what Enzyme?
|
ATP synthase
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. What is the Electron transport chain? (ECT)
|
Group of protein complexes and small organic molecules embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism . The ECT can accept and donate electrons in a linear manner in a series of what reactions?
|
Redox – one molecules looses an electron and another molecules gains an electron. The electrons are passed around.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ECT. Movement of electrons generates what kind of gradient?
|
H+ electrochemical gradient/proton–motive force. There is an excess of positive charge outside of the matrix.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ECT. Since there is a greater number of H+ molecules on the outside what do they want to do?
|
Go inside.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ETC. Lipid bi–layer of inner mitochondrial membrane is relatively (impermable/permable) to H+
|
impermable, but there is a place it can get through.
|
|
ECT 4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. Where does the H+ get through the ECT?
|
It passes through ATP synthase. (Enzyme)
|
|
What happens with H+ goes through ATP Synthase?
|
ATP Synthase(enzyme) harnesses free energy released to synthesize ATP from ADP
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism ECT. What is Chemiosmosis?
|
The Chemical synthesis of ATP as a result of pushing H+ across a membrane
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ATP Synthase. How is the energy converted?
|
H+ electrochemical gradient pushes stuff into a chemical bond energy to form ATP.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ATP Synthase. What is the ATP made up of?
|
ADP + Pi and H+ make ATP through ATP Synthase.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ATP Synthase moves in what way? Why?
|
ATP Synthase moves in a rotary machine that makes ATP as it spins
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ATP Synthase. What is the first turn for? What is the second turn for? 2 part process.
|
First turn bonds tightly to form the molecule, second turn bonds weakly and release the molecule.
|
|
4th stage of Glucose Metabolism. ATP Synthase. How many ATP molecules per glucose?
|
30–34 ATP
|
|
What other organic molecules can be used for energy?
|
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
|
|
What is the difference with the other organic molecules and Glucose that create energy?
|
The other organic molecules enter in glycolysis or citric acid cycles at different points
|
|
Why do these organic molecules use the same pathways as Glucose for breakdown?
|
It increases efficiency
|
|
What is anabolsim?
|
It is the same process as metabolism but on other molecules. It gets a different name.
|
|
In environments that lack sufficient oxygen how is energy made? What are the processes called?
|
Anaerobic metabolism and fermentation
|
|
Anaerobic metabolism. What is it?
|
Use of substances other than O2 as final electron acceptor in electron transport chain.
|
|
Fermentation. What is it?
|
ATP made via glycolysis ONLY. Needs to regenerate NAD+ to keep glycolysis running. It produces far lessATP
|
|
What are some examples of Fermentation?
|
Muscles producing lactate and Yeast making ethanol.
