Question 1

glucose

Answer 1

a six carbon sugar that is the main fuel cells break down to make ATP

analogy: the wood you burn in a fireplace to get heat

Question 2

pyruvate

Answer 2

a 3-carbon molecule produced at the end of glycolysis

glucose gets cut in half - those halves are pyruvate slices

Question 3

acetyl-CoA

Answer 3

a 2 carbon molecule that enters the kreb cycle formed from pyruvate

the ticket needed to enter the amusment park

Question 4

NAD+

Answer 4

an electron carrier that acceptos electrons and becomes NADH

NAD+ is an empty taxi ready to carry “electrons”

Question 5

NADH

Answer 5

the reduced form of NAD+ that carrier high energy electrons to the ETC

a backpack filled with energy(snacks) electrons to dropp off at the etc

Question 6

FAD

Answer 6

another electron carrier, Similar to NAD+

another empty uber waiting to pick up passengers

Question 7

FADH2

Answer 7

the reduced form of FAD that brings electrons to the etc

an uber full of passangers ready to go to etc

Question 8

ATP

Answer 8

main energy currency of the cell

Question 9

oxygen

Answer 9

the final electron acceptor in the etc

Question 10

glycolysis

Answer 10

splits glucose into pryuvate; occurs in cytoplasm; makes 2 ATP and 2 NADH

first step in cooking (cutting a big vegetable (glucose) into smaller pieces (pryuvate

Question 11

pryuvate oxidation

Answer 11

converts pr=yruvate - acetyl-CoA+ NADH +CO2

someone going to surgey( kreb cycl) , but before they must lose wight to enter surgey

Question 12

kerb cycle

Answer 12

completes the breakdown of glucose

makes alot of NADH and FADH 2

Question 13

electron transport chain

Answer 13

a series of proteins that pass electrons and pump H+

Question 14

chemiosmosis

Answer 14

flow of H+ down its gradient through ATP synthase

chemiosmosis is like water rushing through a dam to spin turbines (ATP synthase)

Question 15

oxidative phosphorylation

Answer 15

ETC+ chemiosmosis; majority of ATP is made here

the final assembly line of ATP prodction

Question 16

substrate level phsophorlaytion

Answer 16

making atp by transferring a phsophate from a substate directly to ADp

handing someone a dollar bill instead of a transaction

Question 17

fermentation

Answer 17

allows glycolysis to continue without oxygen

backup

Question 18

alochol fermentation

Answer 18

pyruvate – ethanol – co2 rengerates NAD+

yeast breaths out CO2 like tiny champagne-making machines

Question 19

lactic acid fermentation

Answer 19

pyruvate – lactase regenerates NAD+
