500028287ATPreleased energy from e- transfer used to synthesize _____
500028288electronegative atomsattract electrons, tend to be oxidizing agents (stronger they tend to pull on electrons and more energy neede to take an e- away from it)
500028289NAD+- a coenzyme that acts an electron carrier, oxidized form - carries Hydrogen atoms stripped from Glucose molecule
500028290hydrogenorganic molecules with abundance of __________ = excellent fuels - because their bonds are a source of "hill top" electrons- whose potential energy may be released as these electrons fall down an energy gradient when they are transferred to oxygen

500220413combustion reactionbetween H2 and O2 - release of energy (explosion) is when electrons of the hydrogen "fall" closer to the electronegative O atoms somewhat similar to cell resp - but H atoms are from organic molecules and no explosion due to electron transport chain "breaking the fall" of electrons
500220414electron transport chainnumber of molecules mostly proteins, built into the inner membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and the plasma membrane of aerobically respiring prokaryotes
500220415top of electron transport chaine- removed from glucose are shuttled by NADH to the "top", higher energy end of he chain
500220416bottom of electron transport chainat "bottom" - lower energy end, O2 captures these electrons along with hydrogen nuclei, forming water
500220417electron transport chain"Breaks fall" of electrons to oxygen into several energy-releasing steps hence no explosive process
500220418oxygenterminal electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain
500220419electron transport chaineach carrier is more electronegative than the last and oxidizes its "uphill" neighbor until you reach oxygen (very electronegative)

500220425enzymeends in "kinase" => phosphorylates substrates, adds phosphate group, many need in each step of Gylcolysis
500220426oxidative phosphorylationATP synthesis powered by redox rxns of the e- transport chain energy released at each step along the chain can be used to convert ADP -> ATP
500220427inner membrane of the mitochondrionwhere e- transport and chemiosmosis occurs = both process constitute oxidative phosphorylation
500220428oxidative phosphorylationaccounts for 90% of ATP generated by respiration
500220429substrate-level phosphorylationsmaller amount of ATP formed directly in a few reactions of glyclolysis and citric acid cycle
500220430substrate-level phosphorylationenzyme tranfsers phosphate group from a substrate molecule to ADP, rather than adding inorganic phosphate to ADP as in in oxidative phosphorylation
500220431glycolysisin two phases : energy investment and energy payoff Glucose - 6 carbon sugar, broken down into two 3 carbon-sugars => these sugar molecules are then oxidized and their remaining atoms rearranged to form 2 molecules of pyruvate
500220432energy investment phase of gylocolysiscell spends ATP but paid off in other phase 2 ATP used, 4 formed -> net = 2
500220433Glycolysis2 ATP + 2 NADH (+ 2H)= net energy yield

500220451high H+ concentration=> diffuse into the mito matrix and rotates ATP synthase to drive phosphorylation of ADP
500220452problems with protonssome diseases poke holes in the membrane, allow H+ to flow out, => gradient reduced, ATP output reduced
