Term
cellular respiration {glucose} is what kind of redox reaction?
Definition
oxidation
Term
dehydrogenase
Definition
remove hydrogen atoms including electrons from substrate (glucose) thereby oxidating it
Term
NAD
Definition
electron carrier. coenzyme
Term
electron transport chain
Definition
Term
oxidative reaction
Definition
loss of electrons from one substance (Leo the Lion)
Term
reduction reaction
Definition
addition of electrons to another substance
Term
reducing agent
Definition
the electron donor
Term
oxidizing agent
Definition
the electron acceptor (NAD+)
Term
electronegativity
Definition
strong electron pull. ie oxygen
Term
in prokaryotes, where is the electron transport chain found
Definition
plasma membrane
Term
substrate level phosphorylation
Definition
ATP synthesis that occurs when an enzyme (kinase) transfers a phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADPa
Term
cristae
Definition
inner folding in mitochondria that increase its surface area
Term
ubiquionone or Coenzyme Q
Definition
the only molecule in the E>T>C which is not a protein
Term
cytochromes
Definition
electron carriers in the ETC with a prosthetic group called a heme group that accepts and donates electrons
Term
ATP Synthase
Definition
the enzyme that makes ATP from ADP and P
Term
chemiosmosis
Definition
energy coupling mechanism that creates ATP synthesis driven by the concentration of hydrogen ions storing energy across a membrane
Term
chemiosmosis occurs in
Definition
mitochondrial and choroplast intermembranes of eukarytic cellls and P.M of pros
Term
Turning of the ATP synthase rod...
Definition
activates catalytic sites in the knob that produce ATP from ADP and P
Term
where do the H+ ions concentrated in the intermembrane space from?
Definition
exergonic flow f electrons from NADH and FADH2. pumped out from the electron transport chain complexes
Term
how does chemiosmosis create ATP?
Definition
when the H proton goes down ATP synthase the proton motive force phosphorylates ADP froming ATP.
Term
proton motive force
Definition
the potential energy stored in gradient generated by the pumping of hydrogen ions
Term
_____use chemiosmosis to generate ATP during _______
Definition
chloroplasts ; photosynthesis
Term
glucose -> ____ -> electron transport chain ->____->ATP
Definition
NADH ; proton motive force
Term
anerobic respiration
Definition
prokaryotic organisms; have ETC but do not use oxygen as final electron acceptor
Term
sulfate reducing marine bacteria
Definition
produce hydrogen sulfide as by product of resoiration instead of H20
Term
fermentation
Definition
harvest chemical energy w.out use of oxygen OR ETC
Term
types of fermentation
Definition
lactic acid and alcohol
Term
alcohol fermentation
Definition
pyruvate converted to ethanol. release of c2o from pyruvate coverts it to acetaldehyde, which is then reduced by NADH to ethanol. this yields NAD which can be used again.Also works with yeast...
Term
lactic acid fermentation
Definition
pyruvate reduced by NADH to form lactate. used to make cheese and yogurt. human muscle cells use this to make ATP when oxygen is scarce
Term
what is the reducing agent in the following reaction?
pyruvate+NADH+H ->Lactate + NAD
Definition
NADH
Term
the immediate energy source that drives ATP synthesis by ATP synthase?
Definition
H+ concentration
Term
which metabolic pathway is common to both fermentation and cellular respiration
Definition
glycolisis
Term
in mitochondria, exergonic redox reactions
Definition
provide the enrgy that establishes the proton gradient
Term
the final electron acceptor in ETC in aerobic respiration is
Definition
oxygen
Term
when electrons flow along the ETC which of the following changes occur
Definition
pH of matrix increases
Term
cells do not catabolize CO2 because
Definition
it is already fully oxidized
Term
which of the following is a true distinction between fermentation and cellular resp
Definition
NADH is oxidized by the electron transport chain in respiration only
Term
most Co2 from catabolism is released during
Definition
citric acid cycle
Term
cellular resp organims
Definition
animals, plants, fungi, bacteria
