The citric acid cycle begins after the first stage of glycolysis is completed. The two carbon molecules are converted into acetyl CoA compound. Two ATPs are produced per each molecule of glucose by the citric acid cycle. When these compounds are reduced, they are transported by electron carriers to the next stage. The citric acid cycle occurs only when oxygen is present in the mitochondrion after the cell splits during the first phase glycolysis.…
The Keq, ratio of the concentrations of product to reactant, reveals the amount of product formed depending on the number of reactant accessible. The first reaction A+B↔C+D(Keq= 3.9X10-12) favored reactant because Keq is less than 1, meaning more reactants than product is present. Thus, the reaction displays reactant(blue).This is an extreme case where the reaction does not proceed forward readily. For second reaction I+J↔K+L(Keq=8.7x10-1), reactant(blue) is favored, but shows adequate amount of product(yellow) because its Keq is closer to 1. In S+T↔U+V(Keq=5.2x1018), another extreme case, Keq is greater than 1, so less reactant is present. Consequently, the reaction is mostly complete, favoring product(yellow) side. If a reaction either reach…
We will be using the LoggerPro and LabPro in order to help us determine our data. The purpose of this experiment is to follow the changes of pH during the titration of an acid and a base in order to determine the of the weak acid, . is a constant for a given acid at a given temperature. In this experiment we determined the Ka using two different methods: 1) the measurement of the pH of a solution containing a known concentration of a weak acid, and 2) measurement of the pH at the half-neutralization point in the titration of a weak acid and a strong base.…

Stage two the citric acid cycle. The two molecules of pyruvic acid that fuel the remains after glycolysis are not ready yet. The pyruvic acid must be converted to a form the citric acid cycle can use. First each pyruvic acid loses a carbon as CO2. The remaining fuel molecules each with 2 carbons left are called acetic. The oxidation of the fuel generates NADH. Lastly each acetic acid is attached to a molecule called coenzyme A (CoA), an enzyme from the formed from the B vitamin pantothenic acid to form acetyl CoA. The CoA escorts the acetic acid into the first reaction of the citric acid cycle. The CoA is then stripped and recycled.…
ATP is generated from aerobic respiration from the use of biosynthetic pathways. Glycolysis is where respiration starts in the cells and produces ATP, NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules from the oxidation of six carbon carbohydrate and glucose. Even if oxygen is there or not, enzymes are mediated in the cytoplasm. The electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, and aerobic respiration use NADH molecule (which it main purpose is to transport electrons form one molecule to another) for later purposes. The mitochondrial matrix receives pyruvate from the cytoplasm after it crosses over the mitochondrial membrane. When the pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle it goes through many stages of biochemical enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In more detail about the cycle its main purpose is to produce little amounts of ATP by removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen from pyruvate molecules. Within the inner membrane of the mitochondrion the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis synthesis ATP with hydrogen ions which are NADH and FADH2. The Krebs cycle and glycolysis produce less ATP because chemiosmosis synthesizes a great amount of ATP.…

The Citric Acid Cycle is a series of enzyme-catalysed reactions that take place in the mitochondrial matrix of all aerobic organisms. It involves the oxidation of the acetyl group of acetyl CoA to two molecules of carbon dioxide. Each cycle produces one molecule of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation, and reduces three molecules of NAD and one molecule of FAD for use in Oxidative Phosphorylation. The cycle is preceded by Glycolysis, which also occurs in anaerobic respiration, and the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, which occur in the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial matrix respectively. In aerobic respiration, glycolysis breaks down one molecule of glucose and two molecules of pyruvate, and gives a net product…

Cellular respiration is an ATP-producing catabolic process in which the electron receiver is an inorganic molecule. It is the release of energy from organic compounds by chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all be metabolized, but cellular respiration usually involves glucose: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 Kcal of energy/mole of glucose oxidized. Cellular respiration involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis is a catabolic pathway that occurs in the cytosol and partially oxidizes glucose into two pyruvate (3-C). The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria and breaks down a pyruvate (Acetyl-CoA) into carbon dioxide. These two cycles both produce a small amount of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation and NADH by transferring electrons from substrate to NAD+. The Krebs cycle also produces FADH2 by transferring electrons to FAD. The electron transport chain is located at the inner membrane of the mitochondria and accepts energized electrons from enzymes that are collected during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, and…
