BIOL 152 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Phosphoglycerate Kinase, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Acetyl-Coa
Document Summary
C6h12o6 + 6o2 ----> 6co2 + h2o + energy glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water +energy. Cell respiration is a set of 4 processes. 6 carbon glucose is broken down into 3 carbon pyruvate. Pyruvate processing each pyruvate is oxidized to form acetyl coa. Citric acid cycle each acetyl coa is oxidized to co2. Electrons move through a transport chain and their energy is used to set up a proton gradient, which is used to make atp pyruvate processing and citric acid cycle occur in matrix of mitochondria. Electron transport & oxidative phosphorylation occur in inner membrane of mitochondria. Define cell respiration set of reactions that uses electrons from high-energy molecules to make atp. Catabolic pathway breakdown of molecules in order of atp production first use carbohydrates, then fats, lastly proteins. Catabolic pathway: fats are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids. Catabolic pathway: proteins are broken down into amino acids.
