Term
|
Definition
-series of reactions that release energy as they break down sugars and other substances to CO2 and H2O -each step catalyzed by enzymes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
requires oxygen <-- oxidizing agent that receives electrons from decomposed substrates |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-doesn't need oxygen -substrate may be partly decomposed (releasing less energy) or nitrogen/sulfur = substitute for oxygen |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-in cytoplasm of cell -first stage of respiration of [glucose] -requires 2 ATP -enzymes partially oxidize glucose & split it into 2 pyruvates & releases energy to form a 4 ATP -ATP donate phosphate groups to make unstable compound- breaks into 2 3-C compounds oxidized ^ & electrons released to make NAD+ -in plants- begin differently -produces 2 ATP & 2 NADH & pyruvate & carbon skeletons |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-second stage of respiration -before: pyruvate + coenzyme A = acetyl coA -gives off 1 CO2 & produces 1 NADH for every mol. of pyruvate -acetyl coA + oxaloacitate = citrate -oxaloacitate=1st reactant & final product
significance: produces.. •3 NADH } ets •1 FADH2 } ets •1 ATP •2 CO2 given off |

electron transport system |
|
Definition
-3rd stage of respiration -electrons transfer from 1 carrier mol. to another -results in storage of energy in ATP -regenerates supply of NAD+ |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-FAD + 2H = FADH2 -H carrier mol. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-3-C compound -end product of glycolysis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-3-C acid -formed by pyruvate in fermentation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-if not enough O2 (anaerobic) -pyruvate -> lactate -converts NADH to NAD+ -(recycles NAD+) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-organelles in which krebs cycle & ets occur -where most ATP is synthesized (powerhouse of cell) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-carrier mol. that binds to acetate & makes acetyl CoA -delievers acetate to krebs cycle |
