cell resp

  1. cell resp and formula formula
    • c6h12o6 + 602 --> 6co2 +6h20 + energy (atp)
    • consumes oxygen and organic molecules to create atp
  2. what is fermentation?
    partial break down of sugars in anaerobic cell resp.
  3. describe oxidization and reduction
    • oxidization- lose electrons or gain oxygen
    • reduction- gaining an electron or losing oxygen
  4. what is the process to break down atp
    dephosphorylation
  5. what are the 3 forms of atp
    • atp (3 phosphates)
    • adp (2 phosphates)
    • amp (1 phosphate)
  6. what is the reduced form of NAD and FAD
    • NADH
    • FADH2
  7. what is the difference between a reduced and oxidized molecule
    • reduced has more energy, its more stable and has less binding potential
    • oxidized has less energy, less stable and more binding potential.
  8. what is aerobic resp and what are stages
    • complete oxidization of glucose
    • 1.glycolosis
    • 2. pyruvate oxidation
    • 3. kerb cycle
    • 4. electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
  9. what is anaerobic resp
    • incomplete oxidation of glucose 
    • 1. glycolysis  produces 2 pyruvate 2 atp and 2 nadh and 2 h
    • 2. fermentation which is alcohol fermentation co2, 2 atp and ethanol in bacteria and yeast or lactic acid fermentation 2 atp and lactic acid in animals and bacteria
  10. what does cell resp produce
    co2 h20 and 36 atp
  11. structure of mitochondria
    outer membrane and inner membrane which has folds called christie which increase surface area increasing chemisosis and the inside is called mitochondria matrix
  12. what is the first step of cell resp and what does it do
    glycolysis which is the break down of glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. This occurs in the cytoplasm and requires 2 taps but in return you receive 4 atps (net 2 gain) and 2 nadh
  13. what is step 2 and 3 of cell resp
    pyruvate (3 carbon) is turned into acetyl coA when pyruvate is actively transported into the mitochondria matrix where it loses a carbon dioxide and combines with coenzyme a to form acetyl coA. This redox reaction results in 1 nadh for each pyruvate that is converted in acetyl coA

    the acetyl coA is then used in the kreb cycle which results in the formation of 3 nadh, 1 fadh2 and a atp along with 2 co2. this occurs in one cycle in the matrix and theirs 2 cycles
  14. step 4 of cell resp
    oxidative phosphorylation. the inner membrane of the mitochondria contains proteins called cytochromes that can carry electrons. they takee the electrons from nadh and fadh2. they then pass the electrons from one electron acceptor the next stronger acceptor until it reaches o2 making h20. As it moves it releases energy which activates hydrogen ions to move from mitochondrial matrix into the inter membrane space. (acidic). this increase is concentration causes them to move back across through a protein called atp synthase causing phosphorylation
  15. how many apps ar produced per step
    • glycolysis- 2 atp
    • krebb-2 atp
    • etc- 32 atp
    • 36 in total
  16. what is the kreb cycle
    processes acetyl coA through a series of reactions that contract electrons and hydrogen ions producing some atp
  17. what is facultative anaerobes
    organisms that can do either aerobic or anaerobic resp
  18. what does lactic acid do in humans
    it causes soreness and stiffness and does not produce co2 it occurs in our muscle cells and it removed by liver
  19. why is anaerobic resp useful
    provides a short burst of energy when no o2 but it only produces 2 atp
  20. what are metabolic poisons
    certain poisons that interfere with etc and prevent electron flow. this stops all stages of cell resp and stops atp synthase

    cyanide and hydrogen sulfide
  21. what is atp maintained by and what does it cause
    feedback inhibition. when their is less atp it will speed up cell resp and when their is lots it will slow it down
  22. what are the reactants of kreb cycle
    acetyl coa, h2o, 3nad plus h, 1 adp plus p and 1 fad+
  23. how much energy do we get from glucose
    40 percent while 60 is released
  24. oxidizing reagent vs reducing agent
    odizising agents become reduced while reducing agents become oxidized
