Metabolism

The reactions that occur in an organism, specifically synthesis and decomposition.

1) Breaks down large molecules and builds large molecules.




2) Uses ATP energy

Biosynthesis

The building of large molecules in an organism.

1) Like Synthesis




2) Used in metabolism.

Decomposition
The breaking down of large molecules.
1) Occurs in metabolism.



2) Opposite of synthesis.

Cell Respiration
Multiple decomposition reactions in an organism that breaks down sugars into CO2 and water.
1) There are two types of _______________, aerobic and anaerobic.



2) Provides energy for the cell.

Aerobic
With oxygen.
1) A type of respiration.



2) Uses the Krebs Cycle.

Anerobic


Without oxygen.
1) A type of respiration.



2) Uses Fermentation.

Fermentation

Less efficient way to produce energy than aerobic respiration where NADH and Pyruvate are recycled.

1) Converts NADH and Pyruvate to NAD+ and a acid.



2) Humans create lactate.

Glycolysis
The first step of respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm.
1) Enzymes partially oxidize glucose to create pyruvate.



2) Forms 2 NADH and 2 net ATP

Glucose
Stable form of energy which is required for respiration.
1) 2 PGAL form __________.



2) When ________ is decomposed, it releases energy in the for of ATP.

Krebs Cycle

Completes the breakdown of glucose from glycolysis, to form electron carriers and supply carbon skeletons.

1) The second step in aerobic respiration.



2) Only supplies a small amount of ATP.

NAD+/NADH
A form of short term energy storage in cellular respiration.
1) Like ATP and ADP.



2) Like FAD and FAD2

FAD/FADH2

A form of short term energy storage in cellular respiration.

1) Like ATP and ADP.



2) Like FAD and FAD2.

Electron Transport System (ETS)


Carries electrons and transfers electrons to other carriers to harness the most energy.
1) Final step of aerobic respiration.



2) Not only found in cellular respiration, also occurs in the Calvin Cycle.

ATP
A form of short term energy storage.
1) Universal form of short term energy storage, not just found in cellular respiration.



2) Most common form of short term energy storage.

Pyruvate


A reduced form of glucose.
1) Used in cellular respiration.



2) ____________is reduced in glycolysis.

Lactate


The acid that is recycled in anaerobic respiration, which is only used by some organisms.
1) Other acids in fermentation could be ethanol and acetic.



2) The reason why muscles are sore after an anaerobic workout.

Lactic Acid Fermentation


The second step in some types of anaerobic respiration.
1) Other acids in fermentation could be ethanol and acetic.



2) The reason why muscles are sore after an anaerobic workout.

Mitochondrion
Site of the Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport System.
1) Where the majority of energy is produced in aerobic respiration



2) Uses pyruvate.

Matrix

The fluid inner area of a mitochondria.

1) Site of the Krebs Cycle



2) Site of the ETS

Cristae

The folds of the inner membrane of a mitochondria.

1) The ______ touches the inside of a mitochondria.



2) The __________ has all the enzymes needed for the ETS and ATP formation.

Acetate

An organic acid released in the mitochondria from pyruvate.

1) Created in the Krebs Cycle.



2) ___________ is what is left of pyruvate when a CO2 is released.

Citrate
Acetate combines acetyl CoA with a 4-carbon acid to form this 6 carbon acid.
