autotrophs
|
self feeders
|
|
heterotrophs
|
fed by others
|
|
cellular respiration
|
the oxidation of organic compounds to extract energy from chemical bonds
|
|
dehydrogenations
|
the electrons lost are accompanied by protons so that what is really lost is a hydrogen atom, not just an electron
|
|
NAD
|
a cofactor for enzymes that helps catalyze redox reactions
|
|
aerobic respiration
|
the process that results in the complete oxidation of glucose using oxygen as the final electron acceptor. oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor fo an electron transoport chain that produces a proton gradient for the chmeiosmotic syntehsis of ATP.
|
|
anaerobic respiration
|
the use of electron transport to generate a proton gradient for chemiosomotic syntheisis of ATP using a final electron acceptor other than oxygen.
|
|
fermentation
|
the enzyme catalyzed extraction of energy from organic compounds without the involvement of oxygen.
|
|
substrate level phosphorylation
|
ATP is formed by transferring a phosphate group directily to ADP from a phosplhate bearing intermediate, or substrate.
|
|
glycolysis
|
teh initial breakdown of glucose
|
|
electron transport chain
|
set of electron carriers located in the mitochondrail inner membrane
|
|
oxidative phosphorylation
|
ATP is synthesized by the enzyme ATP syntahe using energy from proton gradient.
|
|
acetyl CoA
|
two carbon molecule formed in pyruvate oxidation
|
|
Chemiosmosis
|
utilization of a proton gradient to drive the synthesis of ATP
