Functions
What are the 2 functions of electron transport proteins?
to move electrons through the chain and to pump hydrogen ions to the intermembrane space
What step is 2nd in cell respiration?
pyruvate oxidation
What are the products of the citric acid cycle?
2 CO2, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP (for every one glucose molecule used)
Where does pyruvate oxidation occur?
In the cytoplasm
Define glycolysis
What is the function of oxygen in cell respiration?
Oxygen is the final electron receiver and uses it to form water
What step is 4th in cell respiration?
Oxidative Phosphorylation
What are the products of glycolysis?
2 pyruvate, 2 NADH, 2 ATP
Where does glycolysis occur?
In the cytoplasm
How is the CO2 produced in the process get released
by breathing it out
What is the function of NADH and FADH2?
They are electron carriers that take electrons to the ETC
What step is 1st in cell respiration?
Glycolysis
What are the products of pyruvate oxidation?
1 CO2, 1 NADH, 1 acetyl CoA
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
in the mitochondria (ETC)
to power literally everything
What is the function of glucose in cell respiration?
Provides the carbon needed for the whole process
What step is 3rd in cell respiration?
the citric acid cycle
What are the products of oxidative phosphorylation?
NAD+, FAD+, up to 32 ATP, and water
Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
What are the two forms of cell respiration?
Aerobic (regular) Anaerobic (fermentation)
What is the function of the glucose transport protein?
Bonus: How many carbon atoms are in glucose?
6
Bonus: How much ATP is produced in the whole process?
up to 38
Bonus: How many carbon atoms are in pyruvate?
3
How does NAD+ turn into NADH and vice versa?
