Cards

Term
structure of mitochondria
Definition
[image]
Term
functions of mitochondria
Definition
cellular respiration
Term
how is ATP made in cells?
Definition
ATP Synthase, Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Oxidative Phosphorylation + Electron Transport Chain
Term
define cellular respiration
Definition
uthe metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs
Term
define electron transport chain
Definition
An electron transport chain (ETC) couples electron transfer between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2) with the transfer of H+ ions (protons) across a membrane. The resulting electrochemical proton gradient is used to generate chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Term
define chemiosmosis
Definition
Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient. More specifically, it relates to the generation of ATP by the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration.
Term
Overall Glycolysis Equation
Definition
Glucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+ + 4e- + 4H+ --> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 H20 + 2 NADH + 2H+
Term
Glycolysis Phases
Definition
1) Energy Investment Phase : Glucose + 2 ATP --> 2 ADP +Pi
2) Energy Payoff Phase : 4 ADP + Pi + 2 NAD+ + 4e- + 4H+ --> 4 ATP + 2NADH + 2 Pyruvate + 2 H20 + 2 H+
Term
Glycolysis occurs inside?
Definition
Cytosol
Term
Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs)
Definition
Inside mitochondrion
Term
Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs) Equation
Definition
acetyl CoA + 3NAD+ + FAD + ADP + HPO4-2 --> 2CO2 + CoA + 3NADH+ + FADH+ + ATP
