8.1.3
8.1.6 : form a have needed for the electron transport chain in their membrane : to allow to and create a : containing needed for the Krebs cycle. 8.1.1 Cell respiration involves different reactions that involve the of These reactions are known as (ie. and reactions) Oxidation & reduction occur together;. Remember: OIL RIG. Reduction reactions may include: Gain of Removal of Gain of Oxidation reactions may include: of electrons of oxygen of hydrogen
8.1.1 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the used electron carrier. NAD + is as another substrate is oxidised ie. when a substrate is loses 2 hydrogen atoms, NAD + the from both atoms (2e ) and the from one: Other electron carriers involved in cell respiration include: OXIDISED STATE REDUCED STATE... 8.1 Both and mean that the molecule has attached to it Di- means the two phosphates are attached to Bis- means that the two phosphates are attached to of the molecule

8.1 Can be or 4 stages: The The The 8.1.2 The first step in cellular respiration Glycolysis can occur anaerobically meaning...? Thus glycolysis is occurs in the or molecule is converted into molecules. molecules are used but are produced, so there is. are converted into There are 4 main stages to Glycolysis: 4. are added to a molecule of to form molecules provide the phosphate groups 5. Glucose bisphosphate is split into molecules called
3. atoms are removed from each triose phosphate molecule ( accepts them). The energy released is used to add group to each triose phosphate molecule. 8.1.2 4. is formed by removing the groups and by passing them to. This results in ATP formation and is called
8.1.4 The second step in cellular respiration After glycolysis, moves to the. in the mitochondrial matrix remove and. accepts the hydrogen the is released The removal of CO 2 is called. The whole conversion is called. The product of this is an group, which is accepted by an enzyme,. This forms
Also known as the The third step in cellular respiration 8.1.4 Happens in the Yields (total now ) but process is C and O from C 6 H 12 O 6 are released as is left over The Krebs Cycle occurs in a number of stages: 1) The enters the cycle and is joined to This forms. The is released and within the mitochondrion. 2) is converted to a compound (C5) is released (decarboxylation) accepts atoms (oxidation) 3) the C5 compound is converted to a compound is released (decarboxylation) accepts atoms (oxidation) 4) ATP is synthesised from (substrate level phosphorylation) and reactions:
One turn of the Krebs Cycle yields: (by substrate level phosphorylation) Remember that there are of the Krebs cycle for each glucose molecule!!!
8.1.4 The Electron Transport Chain (ETC) passes from or from one electron carrier to another by a of reactions These electron carriers are found in the The are across the membrane to the by the energy released from the electrons. is the final acceptor of the electrons, which uses them to with to form. This occurs in the of the mitochondrion. catalyses this last reaction. Some metabolic poisons, such as, inhibit the action of this enzyme, with potentially fatal results

There are two types of photosystem: Photosystem I Photosystem II 1) absorbs light energy this energy excites electrons in the chlorophyll the excited electron is passed along a of in the 2) replaces the lost electrons from molecules break apart is released the protons (H + ) can either: combine with at the end of the pathway or be into the

Action Spectrum = the efficiency of the different wavelengths of light that are Absorption Spectrum = how much of a particular wavelength of light is by the The two most common pigments are: and The action spectrum and absorption show strong similarities: greatest absorption in a high level of absorption in lowest absorption in There is a between the action spectrum and the absorption spectrum
