The Stages of Cellular Respiration

 

Grooming Phase happens when pyruvate itself does not enter the citric acid cycle. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and given off as a molecule of CO2. The two carbon compound remaining is oxidized while a molecule of NAD is reduced to NADH ; and a compound called coenzyme A , derived from a B vitamin, joins with the two carbon group to form a molecule called acetyl coenzyme A.
For each molecule of glucose that enters glycolysis, two molecules of pyruvate are produced. These are oxidized, and then two molecules of acetyl CoA enter the citric acid cycle.

Stage 2: 

The Krebs Cycle also known as the Citric Acid Cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.

The Third Stage; The Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis.

Some of the Vitamins and Minerals Needed for Cellular Respiration

This assignment was done on Tuesday, December 14, 2021.

 You will list the vitamins, state the source, the functions and the deficiency symptoms.

The vitamins and minerals to be examined are those that are directly related to the cellular respiration:
Vitamin B1 - Thiamine
Vitamin B 2 - Riboflavin
Vitamin B3  - Niacin
Vitamin B6
Pantothenic acid
Chromium
Iron

Cellular Respiration

 We will start the chapter by doing activities that would have been done mid way through the chapter or at the end.

See home work page for assignment.

In class Activity:

Draw and Label the mitochondrion.  

The Functions of the Plasma Membrane

 The details of the functions of the plasma membrane will be discussed.  We will discuss the details of each protein embedded in the membrane, the function of the glycoprotein, and the function of the cholesterol.
