preparatory step, citric acid cycle, electron transport system (STEP 2-4)
cellular respiration
34
At what steps is ATP produced?
Step 1, 3, 4
35
Glycolysis literal breakdown
“glyco” = sweet (refers to sugar) “lysis” = to break
36
Glycolysis steps (2)
1. Energy Investment Step 2. Energy Yielding Step
37
Energy Investment Stage Step 1: ________ ATP molecules start the __________ of glucose
1. two 2. catabolism
38
Energy Investment Stage Step 2: ________ molecule breaking into ________ equal pieces (each with 3 ________ )
1. glucose 2. two 3. carbons
39
Energy Investment Stage Step 3: A __________ from each __________ is added to the two halves of the glucose. Each half is now called __________.
1. phosphate 2. ATP 3. G3P (Glyceraldehyde-3-phospate)
40
G3P full form
Glyceraldehyde-3-phospate
41
Energy Yielding Stage Step 1: Enzymes in the __________ cause the _______ G3P molecules to break down
1. cytoplasm 2. two (2)
42
Energy Yielding Stage Step 2: Form _______ _______ molecules
1. two (2) 2. pyruvate

48
________ NADH are produced during glycolysis
Two
49
Summary: Stage #1 - Glycolysis ATP (3)
- 2 ATP invested at start - 4 ATP molecules produced through substrate level phosphorylation - NET GAIN = 2 ATP
50
Summary: Stage #1 - Glycolysis Coenzyme activity
2 NAD+ molecules pick-up 1 hydrogen and 2 electrons each to become 2 molecules of NADH (go to Stage #4)
51
Summary: Stage #1 - Glycolysis What’s left?
2 pyruvate molecules (go to Stage #2)
52
Cellular Respiration (3)
- In order to produce large quantities of ATP, pyruvate molecules must enter the mitochondria - needs O2 (NO oxygen = pyruvate molecules can't enter mitochondria = no more ATP being produced) - STAGES 2 - 4
53
Cellular Respiration and NO O2?
NO oxygen = pyruvate molecules can't enter mitochondria = no more ATP being produced
54
Stage #2 – Preparatory Step Location
inner membrane region
55
Stage #2 – Preparatory Step Step 1
Two (2) pyruvate molecules Cross the outer and inner membranes of the mitochondria to arrive in the inner membrane region
56
Stage #2 – Preparatory Step Step 2 (3)
Each pyruvate molecule is converted into: 1. A 2-carbon acetyl group 2. Carbon dioxide (waste product) 3. NADH molecule
57
Stage #2 – Preparatory Step Step 3 (2)
Coenzyme A 1. Picks up an acetyl group to form acetyl CoA 2. The acetyl groups will be delivered to Stage #3
58
Summary: Stage #2 – Preparatory Step ATP
NONE
59
Summary: Stage #2 – Preparatory Step Coenzyme activity (2)
1. 2 NAD+ molecules each pick-up 1 hydrogen and 2 electrons to become 2 molecules of NADH (TO Stage #4) 2. Two ccoenzyme A pick-up an acetyl group each to become Acetyl CoA (TO Stage #3)
60
Summary: Stage #2 – Preparatory Step What’s left?
