Metabolism

All of the chemical reactions inside the body

Reactions to keep cells in the living state

Biosynthesis

A living organism, using ATP, forming complex chemical compounds

Also called biogenesis or anabolism

Decomposition

Chemical reaction that breaks down substances and creates energy.

Rotting or decaying

Cell Respiration

Decomposition of oxidized substances that releases free energy

Cells release energy from chemical bonds

Aerobic

Sugar becomes water and CO2 in the presence of oxygen

Improves cardiovascular system

Anaerobic

Sugar becomes water and CO2 in the absence of oxygen

Triggers lactate formation

Fermentation

Happens in an anaerobic cell after glycolysis

Sugar to acids, gases, or alcohols

Glycolysis

Pyruvate and glucose breakdown as the first step of cell respiration

Converts glucose to pyruvate

Glucose

A six carbon sugar

C6H12O6

Kreb's Cycle

Glucose finishes breaking down and electron carriers are decreased

2nd stage of cell respiration

NAD+/NADH

Cells similar to NADPH but hold a little energy over a short period of time

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

FAD/FADH2

Hydrogen carrier molecule reduced in Kreb's Cycle

__ reduces oxygen and the product is water

Electron Transport System (ETS)

Compromised of proteins and enzymes

3rd stage of aerobic cell respiration

ATP

A molecule that stores a little energy for a short time.

Used to transport energy in cells

Cytochromes

Proteins and enzymes in ETS

Electrons pass through __ during ETS

Facultative Aerobes

Bacteria that can perform both aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Type of respiration depends on environment

Obligate Anaerobes

Bacteria that can only perform anaerobic respiration

Inside human intestines

Obligate Aerobes

Bacteria that can only perform aerobic respiration

Can not survive without oxygen

Hydrolysis

A reaction with water that causes compounds to chemically break down

3 main types: salt, acid, base

Oxidize

To become chemically combined with oxygen

O -> O2

Reduce

When molecules gain electrons

Getting a negative charge

ATP Synthase

An enzyme that provides energy, through synthesis, for the cell

Most commonly used energy currency

Pyruvate

A 3-Carbon compound

Formed from glucose

Lactate

A 3-carbon acid formed during anaerobic respiration

Created during lactic acid fermentation

Lactic Acid Fermentation

NADH and pyruvate are converted back to NAD+ and lactate

1 type of anaerobic respiration

Mitochondrion

Organelle where Kreb's cycle and ETS happen

ATP is synthesized

Matrix

Organic molecule oxidation site

Where Kreb's enzymes are found

Christae

Interior mitochondria membrane

Similar to thylakoid membranes

Acetate

2-Carbon acid

Formed when Pyruvate releases a CO2 molecule

Citrate

6-Carbon acid

Formed by citric acid

Coenzyme A/Acetyl CoA

During the Kreb's Cycle, it provides carbon to be oxidized

Carrier molecule that combines with acetate

Carrier molecule that combines with acetate
