What role does ADP/ATP play in living cells?

ATP has enough stored energy to power a variety of cellular activities. The ATP molecule is the basic source of energy of all living things.

Explain how energy is stored and released by ADP and ATP.

Adding a phosphate to ADP forms a molecule of ATP. The addition of the third, or terminal, phosphate stores in energy. When energy is needed for a cellular process, the third phosphate is removed. Breaking this bond releases energy and the energy is used to power an endergonic reaction of the cell.

Which organisms perform photosynthesis?

All green plants and a few bacteria that contain chlorophyll.

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

All living organisms perform cellular respiration.

How are ATP produced during this final stage of respiration?

As hydrogen protons flow through ATP synthase, a rotor in the ATP synthase spins. Each time it rotates, a phosphate is bound to ADP to form ATP.

The first step in releasing the energy that is stored in molecules of glucose is known as: (a) fermentation (b) glycolysis (c) the bridge reactions (d) electron transport (e) aerobic respiration.

B

Compare and contrast the following pairs of terms: anaerobic and aerobic respiration.

Both anaerobic and aerobic respiration covert molecules of glucose into ATP. Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen to take place and has a lower yield of ATP. Aerobic respiration does require oxygen and has a much greater yield of ATP then anaerobic respiration.

How is the production of ATP in the electron transport chain similar to the production of ATP during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Both processes (respiration and photosynthesis) pass electrons along an electron transport chain. This passage releases energy that drives the transport of hydrogen protons across a membrane. In both processes, these hydrogen protons return to the area of low concentration by passing through ATP synthases, causing ATP to be made.

Briefly describe the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration.

Both processes involve energy transformations. Photosynthesis converts light energy from the sun into the chemical energy stored in a molecule of glucose. Respiration converts the energy stored in glucose into a form of energy the cell can use, ATP. The end products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for respiration. The end products of respiration (carbon dioxide and water) are the reactants of photosynthesis.

Energy flows through living systems from: (a) the sun to heterotrophs and then to autotrophs (b) autotrophs to the environment and then to heterotrophs (c) the sun to autotrophs and then to heterotrophs (d) the environment to heterotrophs and then to autotrophs.

C

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + O2 à CO2 + H2O + 38 ATP

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide and water

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

Cellular respiration

Cellular respiration is the process carried out by all living organisms in which the energy contained in the bonds of glucose molecules is released and stored as ATP. Organic compounds are broken down to release energy to make ATP.

What is the role of Coenzyme A (CoA)?

Coenzyme A (CoA) attaches to acetate to form acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA delivers acetate to the Krebs cycle and attaches the acetate to the 4-carbon compound called oxaloacetic acid.

What causes your muscles to become tired and sometimes cramp during periods of strenuous exercise?

During periods of strenuous exercise, the muscles have a much greater demand for ATP. As the ATP are produced, the oxygen is used up during aerobic respiration. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid. This causes a drop in the pH in the muscle tissue. If the pH drops too low, the muscle will cramp.

What molecules are made during the Krebs cycle and are later used in the electron transport chain?

NADH and FADH2

In which of the following ways is photosynthesis similar to respiration? (a) Both processes produce ATP. (b) Both processes produce ATP by generating energy from an electron transport chain to pump hydrogen protons to an area of higher concentration. (c) Both use ATP synthisis to generate ATP. (d) Both processes produce PGAL. (e) Both processes involve energy transformations. (f) All of the above are correct.

F

True or False. The chemical elements essential for life cannot be recycled.

False. The correct answer is "can"

True or False. The aerobic stages of respiration take place in the chloroplasts of the cell.

False. The correct answer is mitochondria.

True or False. At the end of the electron transport chain, hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide to form water.

False. The correct answer is oxygen.

True or False. The hydrogen electron acceptor during glycolysis is FAD

False. The hydrogen acceptor during glycolysis is NAD+.

If the level of ATP gets too high in the cell, the enzymes that catalyze the reactions of glycolysis are inhibited. b)What will happen to the ATP level if glycolysis is inhibited?

If glycolysis is inhibited, the level of ATP will drop as the molecules of ATP are used for various cellular functions.

If the level of ATP gets too high in the cell, the enzymes that catalyze the reactions of glycolysis are inhibited. a) Explain why this feedback loop is beneficial for the cell.

If the ATP level in the cell is too high, the cell can conserve energy and resources by halting or slowing the production of ATP. Inhibiting the production of ATP prevents the cell from using up all of the cell's resources to produce molecules of ATP that are not needed.

What is the purpose of the electron acceptor, NAD+?

NAD+ is an electron acceptor that holds the hydrogen electrons in their high-energy state until they can be transferred to other molecules. They deliver the high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain.

How many times does this bridge reaction occur per molecule of glucose entering cellular respiration?

The bridge reaction occurs twice for each glucose since glucose was broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.

What will happen to the carbon dioxide that has been produced during respiration?

The carbon dioxide will be released from the cell as a waste product

What is the disadvantage of glycolysis

The cell cannot rely solely on glycolysis because the cell would quickly run out of NAD+ to accept the hydrogen electrons that are produced during the oxidation of glucose. The NAD+ must be used in aerobic respiration so that they may be recycled to be used again during glycolysis

Where in the mitochondria does the electron transport chain take place?

The electron transport chain takes place along the cristae membranes.

As high-energy electrons flow down the electron transport chain, energy is released. What is this energy used to do?

The energy that is released from electron flow is used to pump hydrogen protons against their concentration gradient from the matrix to the inner membrane space.

True or False. Even though cellular respiration is an energy releasing process, the cell must invest a small amount of energy to get the reaction going.

True

True or False. Food serves as a source of energy by being a fuel for cellular respiration, as well as by supplying the raw materials needed for the building of new molecules within a cell.

True

True or False. The aerobic stages of respiration take place in the mitochondria of the cell.

True

True or False. The electron transport chain consists of a series of proteins that are embedded in the inner membrane.

True

If the level of ATP gets too high in the cell, the enzymes that catalyze the reactions of glycolysis are inhibited. c) What do you think will happen when the ATP level drops to levels that are too low?

When the ATP levels drop too low, the enzymes will no longer be inhibited by the high levels of ATP. Glycolysis will begin and the level of ATP will begin to rise.

Glycolysis begins with what 6- carbon molecule?

glucose

This molecule is made during glycolysis and used in the later steps of fermentation.

pyruvic acid

What organism is used to carry out alcoholic fermentation for commercial purposes?
