Term
is photosynthesis anabolic or catabolic |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
photosynthesis reaction equation |

Term
what are the main energy carriers in metabolic systems? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
where is atp Energy stored? |
|
Definition
in the bonds of the phosphate |
|
|
Term
how do cells release energy in ATP? how much? |
|
Definition
hydrolysis, 7kcal/mol of ATP |
|
|
Term
What are the phosphates on ATP called when they are not attached? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
is the break down of glucose reduction or oxidation? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
how do NAD, nadp and fad work? |
|
Definition
they transfer high potential electrons from the oxidation of glucose to the electron transport chain |
|
|
Term
in what form are high potential electrons transfered? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
oxidation: loss of electrons reduction: gain of electrons |
|
|
Term
what are the two main stages of the breakdown of glucose? |
|
Definition
glycolysis and cellular respiration |
|
|
Term
substrate level phosphorylation |
|
Definition
ATP production at glycolysis and Krebs |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Glycolysis in absense of O2. In order to "turn" the glycolysis wheel you need NAD+. W/o oxygen respiration isn't creating the NAD+. So instead, pyruvate is ultimately reduced by NADH to create more NAD+/ |
|
|
Term
two types of fermentation |
|
Definition
alcohol fermentation lactic acid |
|
|
Term
how many atp are produced by respiration? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
where does cellular respiration take place? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
3 stages of cellular respiration |
|
Definition
1. pyruvate decarboxylation 2. citric acid cycle 3. electron transport chain |
|
|
Term
other names for the citric acid cycle |
|
Definition
kreb's tricarboxcylic acid cycle |
|
|
Term
where does the electron transport chain take place |
|
Definition
inner mitochondrial membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
make ATP via oxidative phosphorylation |
|
|
Term
what are the most prevalent molecules of the ETC? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
what are cytochromes constructed of? |
|
Definition
one iron atom that can be repeatedly oxidized and reduced |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
flavin mononucleotide (FMN) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
NADH and FADH2 drop of electrons in the form of 2e-. THey first drop them off at FMN which is consequently reduced. As FMN passes the 2e- onto the next molecule, it becomes oxidized. repeat. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1.FMN 2.Q 3. B-C complex 4. cytochrome oxidase complex |
|
|
Term
what happens at the end of the ETC? |
|
Definition
.5 of an O2 takes the 2e- and picks up 2H+ making h20. |
|
|
Term
two poisons that effect etc |
|
Definition
cyanide and dinitrophenol |
|
|
Term
how many atp do nadh and fadh2 make? why are they different? |
|
Definition
nadh:3 fadh2:2 Fadh2 bypasses the FMN complex |
