What happens as the H+ ion passes through this enzyme?

ADP+P is converted to ATP adds the P and energizes it to make ATP

What is the enzyme at the end of the electron transport chain?

ATP Synthase

Why do aerobic organisms, like ourselves, inhale oxygen?

Aerobic organisms inhale oxygen so they can do the electron transport chain with chemiosmosis to generate ATP. Anaerobic organisms can only do glycolysis, so they don't get as much ATP.

Why does cellular respiration happen?

All organisms need energy (ATP) to carry out the characteristics of life. Plants generate glucose during photosynthesis in the chloroplast That glucose goes through a series of reactions and eventually generates ATP in the mitochondria. A healthy cell (when oxygen is present) can generate 36 ATP molecules from a single glucose molecule

Fermentation pathway

Begin with glycolysis in the cytoplasm. Do not break glucose down completely to carbon dioxide and water. (because that only happens in the mitochondria with oxygen) Yield only the 2 ATP from glycolysis. Steps that follow glycolysis serve only to regenerate NAD+. - Pyruvates and NADH are created but there are no other steps to carry the energy to- recycled - NADH goes back into the process, one carbon is cut off -> Ethanol

During the conversion of pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA two additional products are made. What are they and what happens to them?

CO2 is released when we exhale 2 NADH goes to the electron transport chain

What happens if there is no oxygen present?

Cells do glycolysis and then go through the fermentation pathways

How does the food you eat get converted into a usable form of energy for your cells?

Cells use all sorts of molecules for food, including fats/lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. The energy stored in each of these molecules varies because of their chemical structures, and therefore their energy-storing bonds, differ. Cells break down food molecules gradually and use the energy stored in the chemical bonds to produce compounds such as ATP that power the activities of the cell.

3 (4 ) steps to making ATP

Glycolysis (takes place in the cytoplasm Input 2 ATP, output 4 ATP, 2 ATP, involves the splitting of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate in the cytoplasm, 2 NADH); Prep Step (2 pyruvate is turned into 2 Acetyl CoA- pyruvate can't get into mitochondria, 2NADH, 2 CO2) Krebs Cycle (takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2 ) Electron Transport Chain- Chemiosmosis (takes place along the inner membrane of the mitochondria, 32 ATP)

Advantages of glycolysis

Glycolysis produces ATP very fast, which is an advantage when the energy demands of the cell suddenly increase. Glycolysis does not require oxygen, so it can quickly supply energy to cells when oxygen is unavailable.

How is the H+ ion used to establish a concentration gradient?

H+ ions go from the area with a high concentration of H+ ions to the side with the low concentration of H+ ions high concentration on one side and low concentration on the other side

H+ in electron transport chain

Hydrogen ions are delivered by NADH and FADH2. 2. They move across the inner membrane to establish a concentration gradient. 3. The H+ ions travel through ATP synthase (enzyme) and convert ADP to ATP - 32 ATP! H+ slide through ATP synthase (high -> low concentration) and make ATP Chemiosmosis 4. The H+ are accepted by oxygen and form water! This happens across the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

Energy totals in cellular respiration

In the presence of oxygen, the complete breakdown of glucose through cellular respiration results in the production of 36 ATP molecules. This represents about 36 percent of the total energy of glucose. The remaining 64 percent is released as heat. always energy lost

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Photosynthesis removes CO2 and releases oxygen into the atmosphere, and cellular respiration removes oxygen and releases CO2 The energy flows in opposite directions. Photosynthesis "deposits" energy, and cellular respiration "withdraws" energy. The reactants of cellular respiration are the products of photosynthesis and vice versa

When do the pyruvates continue on to the mitochondria?

Pyruvate will only be converted to Acetyl CoA and continue the process if oxygen is present

What happens in the prep step?

Pyruvate→ Carbon Dioxide + Acetyl-CoA the 3-carbon pyruvates lose a carbon and become 2-carbon Acetyl CoA 2 CO2 is released 2 NADH is produced
