|
Electron transport chain |
The major role of electron transport chain is to extract energy via redox reactions in cellular respiration and photosynthesis. |
|
Stage 1: Glycolysis |
occurs in the cytosol of the cell. Glycolysis begins cellular respiration by breaking glucose into two molecules of a 3 carbon compound called pyruvate |
|

|
Where does pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle take place? |
Within the mitochondria |

Stage 3: Oxidative phosphorylation |
involves electron transport and a process known as chemiosmosis; occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane; uses the energy released by the downhill fall of electrons from
NADH and FADH |
|
The potential energy of this concentration gradient is used to make ATP_____________________. |
chemiosmosis |
|
|
Oxidative phosphorylation |
|
Substrate level phosphorylation |
an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from a substrate molecule directly to ADP; forming an ATP; donates a phosphate group. |
|
What are intermediates? |
Compounds that form between the initial reactant, glucose, and the final product, pyruvate. |
|
Acetyl Co A |
A compound called coenzyme a, derived from a B vitamin, joins with the two-carbon group to form a molecule called acetyl coenzyme A . |
|
ATP Synthase |
synthesizes ATP |
|
What is the process that uses the energy stored in a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive ATP synthesis? |
Chemiosmosis |
|
Where is O2 used and CO 2 is produced in cellular respiration? |
O2 accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain. CO2 is released during the oxidation of intermediate compounds in pyruvate oxidation and citric acid cycle. |
|
_____________________is a way of harvesting chemical energy that does not require oxygen. |
Fermentation |
|
_____________ acid fermentation is a common type of fermentation in which your muscle cells and certain bacteria can regenerate NAD+ by this process; the lactate is gradually carried by the blood to the liver, where it is converted back to pyruvate and oxidized in the mitochondria of liver cellsex: running /exercising and running out of energy? |
Lactic |
|
_________________ fermentation is used in brewing, winemaking and baking |
alcohol |
|
Obligate anaerobes |
they require anaerobic conditions and are poisoned by oxygen for ex: yeast |
|
Facultative anaerobe |
can make ATP either by fermentation or by oxidative phosphorylation, depending on whether O2 is available. |
|
What is the universal energy harvesting process of life? |
glycolysis |
|
You obtain most of your calories as |
carbohydrates such as sucrose, and other disaccharide sugars and starch, a polysaccaride) |
|
_____ also provide the raw materials your cells used for bio-synthesis -the production of organic molecules using energy-requiring metabolic pathways. |
Foods |
|
___________________ can convert excel amino acids to intermediates of glycolysis or the citric acid cycle and their energy is then harvested by cellular respiration. |
