BIOL 1107 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Atp Synthase, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Cellular Respiration
Document Summary
Be able to describe the common components of all cells and the specific structural features of eukaryotic cells. Be able to describe the role of oxidation and reduction in the flow of energy from sunlight to. Be able to explain the 3 steps of cellular respiration, including the 2 methods for making atp. Understand the input and output of glycolysis and the energy-requiring and energy producing steps of the process. Oxidation ~ the partial or full loss of electrons (e-) from a substance. Oxidized ~ the substance from which the electrons are lost. Reduction ~ the partial or full gain of electrons by a substance. Reduced ~ the substance that gains the electrons. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad+) ~ a common electron carrier which is made from two nucleotides. Glycolysis ~ enzymes break a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Substrate-level phosphorylation ~ an enzyme-catalyzed reaction that transfers a phosphate group from a substrate to adp.
