What is the Overall purpose of Cellular Respiration and Fermentation?
To make energy for the cell (ATP or cellular energy)
Fermentation
Anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis
Anaerobic Respiration
The process by which cells obtain energy from an energy source without using oxygen at the end of the electro transport chain.
Aerobic Respiration
Metabolic process in which pyruvate is broken down and electron-carrier molecules are used to produce ATP through electron transport chain.
Cellular Respiration
Catabolic pathway for the production of ATP, by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in which oxygen is consumed as a reactant.
Redox Reaction
A chemical reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another; also called oxidation-reduction reaction.
What is Oxidation and Reduction
LEO the lion says GER (Lose Electrons:Oxidation. Gain Electrons:Reduction) The reducing agent loses electrons and thus is oxidized in reaction.
The oxidizing agent gains electrons and thus is reduced in the action.
NAD+/NADH
An organic molecule that serves as an electron carrier by being oxidized (losing electrons) to NAD+ and reduced (gaining electrons) to NADH
Electron Transport Chain
A sequence of enzymes that act as electron carrier molecules that transfer electrons and release energy during cellular respiration to produce ATP from ADP.
Electron Transport
The movement of electrons from one electron carrier to another in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions, with each electron transferred to a slightly lower level of energy, so that energy is released. Electron transport is used in the light reactions
Glycolysis
A metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and release energy for the body in the form of ATP. (Glyco=Sugar; Lysis=Breaking)
Pyruvate Oxidation
2nd step in cellular respiration (After Glycolysis) occurs on the way to the mitochondrial matrix. Two three-carbon molecules of pyruvate are oxidized to two two-carbon molecules of acetyl CoA and two molecules of CO?. This process links glycolysis to the
Citric Acid Cycle
A chemical cycle involving eight steps that completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules to carbon dioxide; occurs within the mitochondrion; the second major stage in cellular respiration
Chemiosmosis
Is a mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work. Most ATP synthesis in cells occurs by chemiosmosis.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Is when the ETC releases energy that creates a Hydrogen gradient by pumping them in the outer compartment, then this H+ want to go back into the matrix by ATP synthase creating ATP.
