Term
Ch.6 [Step 1] Glycolysis
Definition

-ten steps

each catalyzed by specific enzyme

-Occurs in the Cytsol

-Does not require Oxygen

RXN: GLucose + 2NAD + 2ADP +2Pi => 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H+ +2ATP +2H20

Term

Ch. 6 Glucose Oxidation

Definition

-break down of carbohydrates to generate energy to power the cell

-oxidation of glucose

-Does not Require Oxygen:

-RXN: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

-primitive Process

-four stages: Glycolysis,The Krebs Cycle,The Electron Transport chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation .

Term
Ch.6 [Step 2] Citric Acid cycle
Definition

-Occurs in the Mitochondria

–begins with Acetyl CoA

–FADH2 formed from FAD

-Summery: Begins with Acety coa substrate. Combined with a four carbon compound (oxalocetate) to produce Six carbon compound (citrate). The Conezyme A is released to combine with a new acetyl group when another molecule of a pyruvate is oxidized. In the course of the cycle, two of six carbon are removed and oxidized to CO2, and oxaoacetate is regenerated. Each turn around the cycle uses up one Acety group, and regenerates one molecule of oxalacetate

 

Overall RXn: Oxolacetate + Acetly COA + 3H20 +ADP + Pi + 3 NAD+ + FAD => Oxaloacetate + 2CO2 + CoA + ATP + 3NADH+ 3H+ + FADH2

Term
Ch.6 [Step 3]electron transport chain
Definition

- electron transport chain

– electrons of NADH and FADH2 passed to low energy-level oxygen

– additional electron carriers involved in chain

– released energy drives proton gradient Fig 6-13

Term
Ch. 6 [Step 4] oxidative phosphorylation
Definition

  ATP synthase

  chemiosmotic coupling

  proton gradient established across inner membrane

  potential energy in gradient generates ATP from ADP + P

  chemiosmotic power important in other processes

Term
Aerobic Pathway
Definition

-key role of pyruvate

a. if oxygen is present, oxidized completely to CO2 -mitochondrial structure: Selectively permeable

– cristae: inner membrane of the mitochondria

– matrix

- pyruvate enters matrix

– then oxidized and decarboxylated

– NADH produced from NAD+

- coenzyme A

– acetyl CoA

Term
oxidative phosphorylation
Definition

–ATP synthase

–chemiosmotic coupling

•proton gradient established across inner membrane

• potential energy in gradient generates ATP from

ADP + P

•chemiosmotic power important in other processes
