Definition
NAD+
Term
how is atp formed?
Definition
substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation 
Term
how does cellular respiration make atp?
Definition
through oxidative phosphorylation
Term
when the final electron acceptor is oxygen what is the process called?
Definition
aerboic respiration
Term
when the final electron acceptor is inorganic the process is called what?
Definition
anaerobic respiration
Term
what is a NADcomposed of?
Definition
two nucleotides, AMP and NMP
Term
How is NADH formed?
Definition
when NAD+ acquires two electrons and a proton from the active site of an enzyme
Term
Where is the electron transport chain located?
Definition
the mitochondrial inner membrane
Term
What is the electron transport chain?
Definition
the passage of energetic electrons through a series of membrane associated electron-carrier molecyles to proton pumps 
Term
How is ATP formed in substrate-level phosphorylation?
Definition
ATP is formed by transferring a phosphate group directly to ADP from a phosphate-bearing intermediate or substrate
Term
How is ATP formed using oxidative phosphorylation?
Definition
ATP is synthesized by the enzyme ATP synthase, which uses energy from a proton gradient 
Term
In simplest terms describe the glycolysis pathway. 
Definition
In the first five reactions a molecule of gluclose is converted into two molecules of G3P. In the second five reactions G3P is converted into pyruvate. 
Term
where does glycosis occur and what type of reaction is it?
Definition
in the cytoplasm, anaerobic
Term
What happens in step A of glycosis?
Definition
two phosphates from two ATP molecules are added to the 6 carbon molecule gluclose, producing a 6 carbon molecule with two phosphates
Term
What happens in Step B of glycosis?
Definition
the 6 carbon molecule with the two phosphates is split forming two 3-carbon sugar phosphates
Term
What happens in Step C of glycosis?
Definition
OXIDATION, two electrons are transferred from G3P to NADforming NADH. A molecule of Pis added to G3P to produce biphosphoglycerate.
Term
What happens in Step D of glycosis?
Definition
four reactions covert the BPG into pyruvate. This process generates 2 ATP molecules per G3P.
Term
what are the three reactions that take place in glycosis?
Definition

1. gluclose is converted into 2 molecules of pyruvate

2. two molecules of ADP are converted into ATP through substrate-level phosphorylation

3. two molecules of NAD+ are reduced to NADH 

Term
How does the cell harvest pyruvate's energy?
Definition
by oxidizing to produce a 2 carbon compound and CO2, the 2- carbon compound is oxidized to the CO2 by the reactions of the Kreb Cycle 
Term
What kind of reaction does pyruvate undergo?
Definition
decarboxylation
Term
What is acetyl CoA?
Definition
the two carbon compound attached to conenzyme A
Term
what is a two carbon compound called?
Definition
acetyl group
Term
what happens in decarboxylation?
Definition
one of the three carbon's is cleaved off, leaving a 2 carbon compound
Term

Definition
pyruvate dehydrogenase
Term
How is the krebs cycle started?
Definition
the acetyl group from the pyruvates is oxidized in a series of nine reactions

Describe Reaction 1 of the Krebs Cycle. 
Definition
condensation, citrate is formed from acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate 
Term
describe reaction 2 and 3 of the krebs cycle
Definition
isomerization, h and oh group change positions leaving isocitrate
Term
describe reaction 4 of the krebs cycle
Definition
isocitrate undergoes a decarboxylation reaction, the central carboxyl group splits off to form CO2 , making a 5 carbon molecule called a-ketoglutarate
Term
describe reaction 5 of the kreb cycle
Definition
second oxidation, a-ketoglutarate is decarboxylated by a multienzyme complex, leaving succinyl-CoA.
Term
describe reaction 6 of the krebs cycle.
Definition
substrate level phosphorylation, the succinyl-CoA group is cleaved, making GDP which makes gtp making adp into atp, succinate remains
Term
describe reaction 7 of the krebs cycle.
Definition
succinate is oxidized to fumarate from succinate dehydrogenase
Term
describe reaction 8 and 9 of the krebs cycle. 
Definition
regeration oxaloacetate, water molecule is added to fumarate forming malate, malate is then oxidized forming oxaloactate.
Term

Definition
citrate, isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl-coa, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate
Term
