Where does the link reaction occur?
The matrix
2 of 18
Where does the krebs cycle occur?
The matrix
3 of 18
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur?
The cristae
4 of 18
How is the mitochondria adapted to its function?
1. Cristae is folded, larger surface area, maximise respiration 2. lots of ATP synthase to produce lots of ATP
5 of 18
Describe what happens in the link reaction
Pyruvate is decaroxylated and relseases c02. NAD is reduced converting pyruvate to acetate. Coenzyme A reacts with acetate to form acetyl CoA
6 of 18
How many times does decarboxylation occur in the krebs cycle?
3 times, two NADH and one FADH
7 of 18
What do electrons lose as they move along the electron transport chain?
They lose energy
8 of 18
How many ATP is produced from one glucose molecule?
32
9 of 18
Name five products of the Krebs cycle?
C02, NADH, FADH, ATP, Coenzyme A
10 of 18
What is the last electron acceptor in Oxidative phosphorylation
oxygen
11 of 18
Name three pieces of evidence for chemiosmosis
1. PH 2. no electron transport 3. Chemicals
12 of 18
Describe the low PH theory
A lower PH in the intermembrane space compared to the matrix. Indicates protons are being actively moved via a proton gradient
13 of 18
Describe the electron transport theory
mitochondria can produce ATP even when there is no electron transport taking place, indicating a proton gradient instead. The outer membrane is permeable, protons move in
14 of 18
Describe the chemical theory
Chemicals prevent H+ ions moving across the membrane, also stopping ATP production proving the build up of a H+ gradient not the electron transport
15 of 18
what happens during lactate fermentation
Latate is produced from pyruvate. The reduced NAD transports hudrogen to pyruvate to form lactate and NAD. The NAD is then reused in glycolysis
16 of 18
What happens during alcoholic fermentation
The CO2 is removed from pyruvate to form ethanal. The reduced NAD transfers H+ to ethanal to from NAD and ethanol. The NAD is then reused
17 of 18
Why does Aerobic respiration produce as much energy
1. the membrane is leaky 2. ATP is used up actively transporting 3. Reduced NAD is used in other reactions
