Chemiosmosis (4)

1. H+ ions diffuse through inner membrane through ATP synthase. 2. The concentration of H ions creates an electrochemical gradient or potential voltage across the membrane. ·3. This force provides the energy needed for the ATP synthase to catalyze synthesis of ATP from ADP + phosphate (32-34 ATP). 4. Electrons are used to reduce O molecules to O ions which attract H ions and form water.

What does ATP stand for and what is it composed of (3)?

Adenosine triphosphate and is composed of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate.

Metabolism

All of the chemical reactions that take place within the cell.

An enzyme is also referred to as...

Biological catalyst.

Cofactors vs. Coenzymes

Both are "enzyme sidekicks" that can help enzymes with their jobs of building up or breaking down substrates into products. They can either bind to the substrate or the active site. Confactors: Usually metal ions. Conenzymes: Usually organic vitamins.

Where does the Citric Acid Cycle take place?

Mitochondria.

In which of the following do the events of the citric acid cycle occur in eukaryotes?

Mitochondrial matrix.

Aerobic cellular respiration can make ___________ ATP than fermentation.

More.

What types of cells can perform glycolysis?

Most prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Which electron carriers are involved in oxidative phosphorylation (2)?

NADH and FADH₂

With regard to enzymes, why are vitamins and minerals necessary for good health (5)? Give examples.

Vitamins and minerals are used as coenzymes and cofactors that helps enzymes catalyze reactions. Many enzymes require the binding of certain cofactor's or coenzymes to be able to catalyze their reactions. Since enzymes catalyze many important reactions, it's critical to obtain sufficient vitamins and minerals from diet and supplements. Ex: Vitamin C (absorbic acid) is a coenzyme necessary for the action of enzymes that build collagen. Ex: Heme is a cofactor with an iron atom in the center found in blood which creates the hemoglobin proteins and activates it.

Coenzymes (2)

Vitamins that assist in the normal functioning of enzymes. They are organic helper molecules.

Reduction

When ATP and NADPH use their stored energy to convert the three-carbon compound, 3-PGA, into another three-carbon compound called G3P.

Fixation (2)

When RuBisCO catalyzes a reaction between CO2 and RuBP. This forms a six-ring carbon compound that is immediately converted into two three-ring compounds.

Regeneration

When a G3P molecules leaves the Calvin cycle to contribute to the formation of the carbohydrate molecule, which is commonly glucose.

Electron transport (4)

Where electrons are transferred from NADH and FADH2 to create a proton gradient of H+. This gradient is use to power the enzyme ATP synthase. Oxygen is the last receptor and produces water. Electron transport requires oxygen and takes place in the mitochondria.

Heat energy

The energy transferred from one system to another that is not work.

Why is there no electron transport chain in the fermentation process?

The last step of cellular respiration needs oxygen for electron transport.

Active site

The location within the enzyme where the substrate binds that is usually on the surface of the enzyme.

Would you describe the metabolic pathways as inherently wasteful or inherently economical. Why (3)?

The metabolic pathways are very economical. The substrates, intermediates and products move between the pathways and do so in response to finely tuned feedback inhibition loops that keep metabolism overall on an even keel. Intermediates is one pathway may occur in another and they can move from one pathway to another fluidly in response to the needs of the cell.

We inhale oxygen when we breathe and exhale carbon dioxide. What is the oxygen used for and where does the carbon dioxide come from (3)?

The oxygen we inhale is the final electron receptor in the electron transport chain and allows aerobic respiration to proceed. This is the most efficient pathway for harvesting energy in the form of ATP from food molecules. The carbon dioxide we breathe out is formed during the citric acid cycle when the bonds in the carbon compounds are broken.

Enzymes usually end in ___________ but sugars usually end in ___________.

-ase;-ose.

The citric acid cycle contains how many steps?

8.

Explain the fermentation process (4)

1. NADH cannot be oxidized (lose electrons) for the electron transport chain to become NAD+ 2. NAD+ needs to be regenerated so another process it added. 3. Two types of fermentation could happen: alcoholic or lactic acid. 4a. In alcoholic fermentation (yeast) the 2 pyruvate from glycolysis makes CO2 and 2 ethenol. 4b. In lactic acid fermentation (in muscle cells) when your blood can give more oxygen for demand and the 2 pyruvate makes 2 lactate.

Explain the process of glycolysis (7).

1. Takes place in the cytoplasm and anaerobic. 2. Using energy from 2 ATP molecules, 6 carbon is split into 2 three carbon molecules, called Glyceradlehyde-3-Phosphate. 3. Each of the 3 carbon molecules' bonds are broken so NAD+ picks up electrons and hydrogen ions to become NADH. 4. The energy released is use to attach phosphate groups to both 3 carbon molecules. 5. Phosphate groups are transferred to ADP and are removed. 6. The ADP then becomes ATP and more reactions take place to rearrange the molecules. 7. 2 pyruvate is generated, 2 ATP and 2 NADH.

Explain the process the the Citric Cycle (7).

1. Takes place in the mitochondria and aerobic. 2. The 2 pyruvate from glycolysis is converted into 2 Acetyl CoA through the mitochondrial matrix and 2 CO₂ is released. 3. Electrons from pyruvate are transferred to NADH which becomes NAD+ 4. The 2 carbon Acetyl CoA attaches to the 4 carbon oxaloacetate to form citrate. 5. The 6 carbon molecule (citrate) goes through multiple biochemical changes to a 4 carbon molecule (oxaloacetate) where bonds form and break. 6. NAD+ carries electrons away which form NADH and FADH carries electrons away too. 7. Produces ATP, 2 CO₂, 3 NADH and FADH₂.

Electron transport chain process (4)

1. The electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass through 4 protein complexes and lose their energy. 2. This energy is used to pump H ions from mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane system. 3. At the 4th protein complex, electrons are accepted by terminal acceptor oxygen. 4. Oxygen (with the extra electrons) bonds with 2 H ions to form water.

The cells follow the lactic acid fermentation pathway. Without oxygen, oxidative phosphorylation and the citric acid cycle would stop.
