Energy,ATP and Respiration

?
What is energy?
The capacity to do work
1 of 23
Name some of the work involved in a cell?
Active transport
Secretion
Endocytosis
Replication of DNA etc...
2 of 23
What is ATP made up of?
A base-Adenine
A pentose sugar-Ribose
3 Phosphate groups
3 of 23
What occurs during respiration and its purpose?
The breakdown of organic molecules (glucose/fatty acids) so that energy is released to synthesise ATP
4 of 23
What occurs during hydrolysis and its purpose?
The breakdown of large organic molecules(starch/lipids/proteins) into component molecules(glucose/fatty acids/amino acids) by the addition of water
5 of 23
What does the enzyme ATPase do?
It releases energy when ATP is hydrolysed to ADP and an inorganic phosphate (Pi) is formed
6 of 23
What happens when ATP is required?
ATP is recycled from ÅDP&Pi by the transfer of energy through the breakdown of respiratory substrates
7 of 23
Name 3 respiratory substrates?
Glucose/Fatty acids/amino acids
8 of 23
During respiration, what 2 processes is ATP produced in?
Substrate-level phosphorylation & Oxidative phosphorylation
9 of 23
How is ATP produced during substrate-level phosphorylation?
ATP is produced by direct transfer of a phosphate group from a phosphorylated substance to ADP
10 of 23
How is ATP produced during oxidative phosphorylation?
ATP is produced from ADP & Pi as electrons transferred along the electron chain.
11 of 23
What are the 2 forms of respiration?
Anaerobic and Aerobic
12 of 23
What happens with anaerobic respiration?
-Doesn't require O2
-Can use glucose only
-This is incompletely broken down and only a little ATP is produced
13 of 23
What happens during Aerobic respiration?
-Requires O2 and uses respiratory substances that are incompletely broken down
-Producing a large amount of ATP
14 of 23
Oxidation?
Addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen/electrons
15 of 23
Reduction?
Addition of hydrogen/electrons
16 of 23
Redox reduction?
Involves both oxidation and reduction reactions.
17 of 23
What is the molecule that accepts hydrogen said to be?
Reduced
18 of 23
What is the molecule that hydrogen is removed said to be?
Oxidised
19 of 23
Dehydrogenation?
Removal of hydrogen
20 of 23
Decarboxylation?
Removal of CO2
21 of 23
Phosphorylation?
Addition of phosphate
22 of 23
What are the 4 stages involved in aerobic respiration of glucose?
-Glycolysis
-Link reaction(pyruvate oxidation)
-Krebs cycle
-Electron transport chain & oxidative phosphorylation
