Chemical Energy in Cells

AB
AerobicOxygen containing
AnaerobicOxygen lacking
Cellular Respirationprocess in which Oxygen is supplied to our cells and carbon dioxide is removed. Mitochondria in the muscle cells use the O2 in cellular respiration, harvesting energy form sugar and other organic molecules. Harvesting energy is the fundamental function of cellular respiration.
Redox ReactionThe movement of electrons from one molecule to another .
OxidationLoss of electrons form one substace
ReductionAddition of electrons to another substance
DehydrogenaseA enzyme that is an organic molecule that cells make from a vitamin and ust to shuttle eletrons in redox reactions.
NAD+Coenzyme to Dehydrogenase
Electron carrierThe electron transfer is a redox reaction. NADh delivers load to Electron Carrier.
Electron transport ChainsOrdered groups of molecules that are embedded in membranes in the eukaryotic cells mitochondrian. As electrons pass along the chains, they gradually lose energy, which the cell can us to make ATP.
chemiosmosisHow cells use the potential energy in concentration gradients to make ATP
ATP synthasesSynthesize ATP using the energy stored in concentration gradients of H+ ions across membranes.
Substrate-level phosphorylationAn Enzyme transgers a phosphate group from an organic substrate molecule to ADP.
GlycolysisOccurs in the cytoplasmic fluid of the cell. Begins respriation by breaking glucose into two molecules of a compound.
Krebs cycleTakes place in the mitochondrian. Finishes the breakdown of glucose by decomposing a derivative of pyruvis acid to carbon dioxide.
IntermediatesCompounds that form between the intial reactant and the final product.
Alcholic fermentationThe production of ethanol form glucose .
lactic Acid fermentationProduced when NADH from glycolysis is oxidized. the ATp yield is the same as in alcholic fermentation.
Strict AnaerobesRequire anaerobic conditons and are poisoned by oxygen.
Facultative anaerobeMakes ATP either by fermantaion or by chemicosmosis.
