Document Summary

Biology class notes 10-14-16: step 1: oxaloacetate (4c) attaches to the acetyl group (2c) forming citrate (6c) Allows for stepwise release of energy bound in nadh and fadh2 through redox reactions. This released energy is used to pump protons into the intermembrane space, making an electrochemical gradient, and allowing for chemiosmosis to occur. Chemiosmosis: diffusion of protons across a membrane to create atp (phosphate group is added to. Adp to create atp: occurs because of atp synthase, transform pe of proton gradient to covalent bonds of atp, occurs in mitochondrial matrix. Anaerobic respiration: uses sulfate as the final electron acceptor instead of oxygen not as effective because oxygen is way more electronegative and attracts more electrons. Alcohol fermentation- nadh gives electrons back to 2-acetaldehyde which is reduced to ethanol (so one product is alcohol)
