What are the 4 parts of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Oxidation of Pyruvate, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
What is the final electron acceptor of the ETC? What is formed?
Oxygen gas is the final electron acceptor, Water is formed
What are the 2 main purposes of the Krebs Cycle
Fully oxidize Acetyl-CoA & Reduce Electron Carriers
What type of fermentation is not reversible? Why?
Alcohol Fermentation, loss of Carbon as carbon dioxide
Does glycolysis occur in the presence or absence of oxygen?
Both!
What is the name of the membrane protein that helps protons pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane during oxidative phosphorylation and helps drive the production of ATP?
ATP Synthase
What type of fermentation is used by yeast? What are the products?
Alcohol, ethanol & CO2
Where in the plant cell would you have ATP Synthase?
Chloroplast & Mitochondria
What type of phosphorylation happens in the Electron Transport Chain? How does this happen?
Oxidative. Energy from the electrons causes hydrogen ions to move into the inner membrane space. Hydrogen ions move down their concentration gradient through ATP synthase and this powers the production of ATP.
Cellular respiration occurs in four steps or stages. In which steps or stages are the carbon atoms removed and released as carbon dioxide?
Pyruvate Oxidation & The Krebs Cycle.
What are the products of glycolysis?
The products are 2 pyruvate molecules, 2 net ATP and 2 NADH molecules.
What are the products of the Krebs Cycle for one molecule of glucose?
6 CO2, 2 ATP, 6NADH, 2FADH2
What is the role of NADH and FADH2 in the Electron Transport Chain?
NADH and FADH2 drop off electrons and hydrogen ions at the ETC.
How many net ATP molecules do you get from one molecule of glucose using anaerobic respiration? Aerobic respiration?
2. 36.
