Fermentation is...
when cells convert NADH into NAD+ allowing glycolysis to proceed
Glycolysis
First step in cellular repiration. Breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid
1 Food Calorie =
1000 calories, 1 kilo calorie
Lactic Acid Fermentation
(animals) (also) regenerates NAD+ so glycolysis can continue. pyurvic acid + NADH = lacitc acid + NAD+
Formation of Acetyl CoA
pyurvic acid enters the mitochondrion, one carbon is lost to CO2, NAD+ - NADH, coenzyme A joins with the remaning 2 carbons
When O2 (oxygen) is NOT present the process is termed
anaerobic
6 NADH's form ___ in Krebs Cycle
2 FADH
The Krebs Cycle occurs when oxygen (is/is not) present
is
Fermentation Occurs When Oxygen (is/is not) present
not
For every 1 Glucose ___ Acetyls are made
2
Two Phases of Glycolysis
1. Energy investement phase - 2 ATP's are invested to supply the activation E. 2 Energy payoff phase - 4 ATP's and 2 NADH's are produced
Glycolysis will shuts down without
NAD+
Cellular Respiration Formula
6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6C02 + 6H2O + Energy
Alcohol Fermentation
(plants) following glycolysis, when oxygen is not present in PLANT cells. pyurvic acid + NADH = alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
Krebs Cycle
2-C Acetyl CoA, NAD+ - NADH, NAD+ - NADH, ADP - ATP, NAD+ - NADH, FAD - FADH, repeats
Glycolysis Process
6 carbon glucose, 2NAD+ - 2NADH, 2ADP - ATP, = 2 3 carbon pyruvic acids
When O2 (oxygen) IS present the process is termed
aerobic
Glycolysis is energized by
ATP
Goal of Fermentation
to regenerate NAD+
Calorie is...
amount of heat required to raise 1g of water 1* C
