Term
aerobic respiration
Definition
the breakdown of food molecules in the presence of 02 to form ATP
Term
anaerobic respiration
Definition
the breakdown of food molecules in the absence of 02 to form ATP
Term
chemical bonds
Definition
where potential energy is contained in molecules
Term
metabolism
Definition
a collection of biochemical reactions occurring in individual body cells
Term
cellular respiration
Definition
making of ATP by breaking down nutrients in the presence of oxygen.
occurs in each individual body cell
Term
catabolic (exergonic)
Definition
what type of reaction occurs during cellular respiration?
Term
catabolic
Definition
exergonic (releases energy); breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules
Term
anabolic
Definition
endergonic (requires input of energy); larger molecules are built from smaller molecules
Term
glycolysis, Acetyl CoA formation, Kreb's Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Definition
four main stages of cellular respiration?
Term
electron (hydrogen) carriers
Definition
both NAD & FAD (coenzymes) remove 2 hydrogen atoms and their electrons from a molecule and carry them to the electron transport chain
Term
coenzyme
Definition
non-protein substance associated with an enzyme
Term
substrate-level phosphorylation
Definition
generates ATP by transferring a phosphate group from a molecule directly to an ADP
Term
oxidative phosphorylation
Definition
generates ATP by removing electrons from a carrier and passing them through the electron transport chain. releases the most energy
Term
ATP
Definition
what form of energy do cells use?
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
Reactant: 1 glucose
Product: 2 pyruvic acid
Potential energy: 2 ATP, 2 NADH
Term
Acetyl CoA formation
Definition
Reactant: 2 pyruvic acid
Product: 2 acetyl CoA, 2 Co2
Potential energy: 2NADH
Term
Kreb's Cycle
Definition
Reactants: 2 acetyl CoA
Product: 4 Co2
Potential Energy: 2 ATP, 6NADH, 2 FADH2
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
Reactants: 10 NADH and 2 FADH2
Product: H2O
Potential Energy: 26-28 ATP
Term
Acetyl CoA formation
Definition
Pyruvic acid (3C) is converted to Acetyl CoA (2C)
anaerobic-does not require oxygen
Term
Kreb's Cycle
Definition
Both acetyl CoAs (2C) are broken down completely to Co2
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
A series of membrane proteins that convert energy in NADH and FADH2 to ATP
As electrons move 1 protein to the next, exergonic rxn occurs
Term
oxygen
Definition
the final electron acceptor
Term
substrate and oxidative phoshphorylation
Definition
two methods of ATP production
