Define autotroph. |
An organism that produces organic molecules by acquiring carbon from inorganic sources 1. A primary producer |
|
define heterotroph. |
An organism that obtains carbon and energy by eating other organisms 1. Consumer |
|
what is cellular respiration? |
1. cells convert the energy in chemical bonds of nutrient (glucose) to ATP 2. 2 types |
|
What is the two types of cellular respiration? |
1. Aerobic respiration 2. Anaerobic (fermentation) respiration |
|
What is aerobic respiration? |
A cell uses oxygen gas in glucose to generate ATP 1. Used by plants animals in most microbes |
|
What is anaerobic respiration? |
Generate ATP from glucose without using oxygen gas |
|
What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? |
An aerobic respiration uses oxygen gas. While anaerobic does not require oxygen gas |
|
What are redox reactions? |
Also called oxidation reduction reactions 1. Transfer is energized electrons from 1 molecule to another 2. Each redox reaction links and exergonic process was an endergonic process. |
|
Define oxidation. |
Loss of electrons from a substance. 1. When a molecule loses one or more electrons |
|
Define reduction. |
Gain of electrons from a substance 2. When a molecule gains one or more electrons |
|
What is substrate level phosphorylation? |
The substrate involved added on to ADP to make ATP |
|
Why do we call the last stage of aerobic respiration oxidative phosphorylation? |
Highly energized phosphate group redox reaction +ADP = ATP |
|
What is the one stage of aerobic respiration every organism utilizes? |
Glycolosis |
|
What are the hydrogen except the molecules in cellular respiration? |
1. Coenzymes important for redox reactions hi 2. Hydrogen acceptor molecules 3. Temporarily stored energy 4. NAD+ 5. FAD |
|
What are the four stages of cellular respiration? |
1. Glycolysis 2. Formation of acetyl coenzyme A 3. The Krebs cycle 4. The electron transport system and chemiosmosis |
|
What does glycolysis mean? |
1. Means "breaking of the sugar" 2. Does not require oxygen |
|
What are the main two stages in glycolysis? |
1. Breakdown a six carbon glucose 2. Convert 2 to 3 carbon pyruvate molecules. ( while producing ATP and NADH) |
|
How many ATP are produced in glycolysis? |
1. net 2 ATP (because invested 2 ATP, overall 4 ATP) |
|
How many NADH are produced in glycolysis? |
2 NADH |
|
Where does glycolysis take place? |
Takes place in the cytosol |
|
Describe the parts of a mitochondrion. |
1. Outer membrane 2. Intermembrane space ( area between the two membranes) 3. Inner membrane 4. Christae ( folds of the inner membrane) 5. matrix ( space enclosed within the inner membrane) - matrix location of the transition reaction and Krebs cycle - cristae location of the electron transport system |
|
What is involved in the formation of acetyl CoA? |
The two (3 Carbon) pyruvate molecules that were converted in glycolysis 1. They enter a mitochondrion 2. Further oxidized into a 2 carbon (acetate) groups 3 transferred to a coenzyme to form acetyl CoA |
|
How many NADH are produced in the formation of acetyl CoA? |
2 NADH |
|
Where does the formation of acetyl CoA take place? |
Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix |
|
Describe the main steps in the Krebs cycle. |
1. Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs cycle 2-3. Oxidized to two molecules of co2 4-6. Potential energy is trapped as ATP, NADH, and FADH2( must do this twice.)
|
|
How many ATP are produced in the Krebs cycle? |
2 ATP (2 turns) |
|
How many NADH are produced in Krebs cycle? |
6 NADH (2 turns) |
|
How many FADH2 were produced in the Krebs cycle? |
2 FADH2 (2 turns) |
|
How many carbon dioxide were produced in the Krebs cycle? |
4 carbon dioxide |
|
Is carbon dioxide useful to us? |
Yes, carbon dioxide is used by plants to produce their food and to grow. |
|
What is the electron transport chain? |
Series of proteins that are linked to shuttle electrons to/from a diff molecule. Drops of H+ ions, electrons, and energy Used to produce ATP.
|
|
Describe the steps in the electron transport chain. |
1. Electrons from NADH and FADH2 release energy 2. Membrane-bound enzymes uses energy to pump H+ ions from thee matrix across the inner membrane (with gradient). 3. The electrons are eventually transferred to O2 (producing H2O as a waste product) 4. Meanwhile, the H+ ions flow with its gradients through a channel in ATP synthase (to get to a lower concentration) to go back into the matrix . 4a. Which releases energ. Makes ATP. |
|
How does the electron transport chain produce energy? |
1. Pushing hydrogen ions out of the matrix into Intermembrane compartment 2. hydrogen ions go with its gradient to get back into the matrix 3. the ions push through the ATP synthase = which makes energy |
|
What ions does the energy pump out of the matrix? |
Hydrogen ions |
|
What is an electrical chemical gradient ? |
Favors the return of H+ ions to the matrix 1. Establishes a Proton gradient 2. establishes a charge gradient |
|
What is a proton gradient? |
More H+ ions outside inside. membrane is not permeable to H+ ion |
|
What is a charge gradient? |
It pumping out excessive H+ ions leaves matrix with excessive negative ion |
|
What is the final acceptor molecule for aerobic respiration in this chain ? |
Hydrogen acceptor molecules |
|
What does the electrical chemical gradient produced in the end? |
Water or ATP |
|
What is ATP synthase? |
Enzyme complex that admits protons through a membrane where they trigger phosphorylation of ADP to ATP |
|
What is chemiosmosis? |
Allows H+ ions to move across the membrane from the matrix to the intermembrane space |
