Document Summary

Reduction potential: measure of the tendency (want) of a chemical compound to accept electrons, and thereby be reduced. Oxidative-respiration: aerobic (uses o2 as final e- acceptor, anaerobic (uses inorganic e- acceptor other than o2; i. e. nitrate, nitrite, sulfate) Fermentation: final e- acceptor is organic. Fermentation (generates least amount of energy) anaerobic aerobic. Donor source (-e ) organic not o2 o2 (+e ) Glycolytic pathway (glycolysis: partial oxidation of glucose to pyruvate, net production of 2 atp + 2 nadh (for 1 molecule of glucose) Respiration: pyruvate completely oxidized to co2, nadh oxidized to nad (to continue the pathway, uses inorganic e- acceptor, more atp produced, krebs cycle (for one molecule of pyruvate): 1 atp, 4 nadh, 1 fadh, 3 co2. 4c biosynthetic intermediates: a-ketoglutarate, succinate, oxaloacetate: electron transport chain: Fermentation: pyruvate reduced to organic acids or alcohol. Lactic acid: organic e- acceptor: pyruvate; regeneration of nad+ (oxdn) Ethanol: organic e- acceptor: acetaldehyde; regeneration of nad+
