What is oxidation?
1. Add Oxygen 2. Remove Hydrogen 3. Remove Electrons
What is Reduction?
1. Remove oxygen 2. Add Hydrogen 3. Add electrons
Exchange of Electrons occurs in
Oxidation and Reduction
Catabolism
1. oxidation 2. degradation 3. breaking of Covalent bonds 4. release of energy (exergonic) 5. Energy is released to produce ATP from ADP by Oxidative Phosphorylation (ADP→ATP) 6. Spontaneous
Exergonic
Release of Energy
Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs in
occurs in the Cristae (inner folds) of the Mitochondria
Anabolism
1. Reductioin 2. Biosynthesis of new macromolecules by forming covalent bonds, 3. Requires energy input (endergonic) 4.Energy is from ATP→ADP (Dephosphorylation)
Endergonic
Requires energy input
the coupling agent for catabolism and anabolism is atp
true
ATP as a coupling agent
links energy making (endergonic) and energy using (exergonic) reactions
Catabolic reactions
are THEORETICALLY Spontaneous because of Energy Gradient in Substrate is relative to end products.
Anabolic reactions
are not spontaneous
Catabolic reactions
although THEORETICALLY spontaneous, are not ACTUALLY spontaneous because energy in molecular motion is not sufficient to overcome covalent bond energy; they require an Activation Energy
ATP as coupling agent
ATP is Coupling Agent that links energy making and energy using reactions
Activation energy
Input (or removal) of energy difference needed to overcome covalent bond energy
energy of activation (activation energy) is
-lowered by enzymes -energy that must be provided to start a reaction
Regulation of Catabolic Reaction
accomplished by removing the Activation Energy using Enzymes
Enzymes
1. Proteins 2. Specific 3. Have an Active site to attach to substrate and reduce activation energy 4. Do not change during course of reaction, allows them to be reused 5. Lowers Activation Energies of reaction to make them Spontaneous
Enzymes
Have an Active site to attach to substrate and reduce activation energy
Enzymes
Do not change during course of reaction, allows them to be reused
Enzymes
-control rate of metabolic reactions -lower activation energy needed to start reaction -most are globular proteins with specific shapes -Not consumed in chemical reactions -Substrate specific -shape of active site determines substrate
Catabolic Reactions
Are Energy Generating

Aerobic Respiration
-catabolic process; state of cellular respiration requiring oxygen -uses oxygen to convert organic nutrients back into carbon dioxide and water
xxx
xxx
Anaerobic Respiration
Requires a bound form of oxygen
xxx
xxx
Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
-are both the complete oxidation of glucose (the removal of all Hydrogen) -Produce the maximum amount of ATP
Compare Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
Anaerobic: first step:glycolysis located in cytoplasm no oxygen needed produces 2 ATPs short-term energy needs Aerobic first step:glycolysis located in mitochondria and cytoplasm oxygen required 36 ATPs produced for long-term energy
What is the Calvin Benson Cycle?
PGA + NADPH + ATP → Ribulose Biphosphate
xxx
xxx
Fermentation
-occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen because oxygen is not required -Incomplete oxidation of glucose (not all Hydrogen is removed) -very little ATP produced
What are the three Biochemical Process involved with Respiration and Fermentation?
1. Glycolysis 2. TCA Cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid) 3. Oxidative Phosphorylation
Glycolyis
-The removal of Hydrogen with a coenzyme NAD→NADH -Glucose → Pyruvic acid + ATP + NADH -the enzymatic breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
TCA Cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid)
-Also known as Citric Acid or Kreb's Cycle (removal of Hydrogen with NAD→NADH and FAD—FADH) -Pyruvic Acid → Carbon Dioxide + ATP + FADH + NADH --Oxidation by removal of Hydrogen -Decarboxylation occurs -Carbon Dioxide is given off
Oxidative Phosphorylation
-Using cytochromes to transfer hydrogen from NADH and FADH to a form of Oxygen (molecular or bound) -⊗Oxidation of coenzymes and phosphorylation occurs (NADH + FADH + Oxygen (molecular or bound) → NAD + FAD + reduced Oxygen + ATP) ⊗Hydrogen transferred from NADH and FADH to cytochromes.…

What are the three major steps of Glycolysis?
1. Glucose->Fructose Diphosphate(FDP) (Activation using ATP) 2. Fructose Diphosphate-(FDP)> Glyceraldehyde Phosphate(G.P.)(splitting glucose w/ Aldolase) 3. Glyceraldehyde Phosphate(G.P.)->pyruvic acid + ATP + NADH (oxidation by removal of Hydrogen - no oxygen required, and phosphorylat…
Decarboxylation
Removal of CO2
What is the transition step between Glycolysis and TCA Cycle?
-Pyruvic Acid → Acetic acid + Carbon dioxide + NADH -pyruvate is made into Acetyl CoA

NADH → NAD
3 ATP's produced
FADH → FAD
2 ATP's produced
Glycolysis only occurs in
Fermentation
Fermentation is
Glucose → acid/alcohol + ATP
What is the one additional step to Glycolysis to convert NADH → NAD?
-Pyruvic Acid + NADH → acid/alcohol +NAD -Hydrogen is transferred from the NADH to the Pyruvic Acid to produce the acid/alcohol

Photosynthesis
is Anabolism
Photosynthesis is
the reduction of CO2 to Glucose
Reduction of CO2 to Glucose occurs in the
the Light Independent reactions
How many reactions does Photosynthesis have?
Two... Light Dependent Reactions and Light Independent Reactions
What are the 2 major reactions of Photosynthesis?
1. Light Dependent 2. Light Independent reactions
In which reaction of Photosynthesis does Oxidative Phosphorylation occur?
Light Dependent Reactions
What are the two types of chlorophyll molecules and associated reactions called?
Photosystem II and Photosystem I
Which reaction occurs first? Photosystem I or II?
Photosystem II
Photosystem IIa
ATPase creates ATP from the Photolysis of H2O (oxidation of water)
photolysis
oxidation (splitting) of water
Photosystem I
Production of NADH
Photosynthesis is the opposite of
Catabolism
Light independent reactions require:
-carbon dioxide from air -ATP from Photosystem II -hydrogen in the form of NADPH from Photosystem I -an enzyme Ribulose Biphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) -sugar- Ribulose Biphosphate to attach Carbon Dioxide to
Three Major Reactions of Light Independent Reactions
---1. Ribulose Biphosphate + carbon dioxide → Phosphoglyceraldehyde (PGA) ---2. PGA + NADPH (from PSI) + ATP(from PSII) → Glucose (Reverse Glycolysis) ---3. PGA + NADPH (from PSI) + ATP(from PSII) → Ribulose Biphosphate (Calvin Benson Cycle)
