C.3.5, 8.1.4: Chemiosmosis

IB Question Explain the process of aerobic cell respiration after glycolysis has occurred. [8] pyruvate produced by glycolysis; pyruvate enters mitochondrion/mitochondria; pyruvate loses CO2 in link reaction; and NADH + H+; with formation of acetyl CoA; to take part in Krebs cycle; where two CO2 are produced (per molecule of pyruvate); one ATP from ADP + Pi; along with (three) NADH + H+ (and one FADH2);
NADH + H+ provide electrons circulating in the electron transport chain on the inner mitochondrial membrane; allowing H+ to accumulate in the intermembrane space; and come back to the matrix through ATP synthase/synthetase to produce ATP
(by chemiosmosis); presence of O2 required as the final electron acceptor for the electron transport chain; producing water with H + ; [8 max]

C.3.5, 8.1.5: Explain oxidative phosphorylation in terms of chemiosmosis
Chemiosmosis: The generation of ATP produced by the coupling of the movement of electrons down the electron transport chain with the movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation are but specialised examples of chemiosmosis.
Oxidative phosphorylation: is a metabolic pathway that uses energy released by the oxidation of nutrients to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Oxidative phosphorylation photophosphorylation

IB Question: Describe the function of oxygen in oxidative phosphorylation
[2] oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons/protons/; water is formed / oxygen is reduced; in the
(mitochondrial) electron transport chain; (aerobic respiration) increases yield of ATP; [2 max] H

IB Question: Explain how chemiosmosis assists in ATP production during oxidative phosphorylation. [9] occurs during aerobic respiration; oxidative phosphorylation occurs during the electron transport chain; hydrogen/electrons are passed between carriers; releasing energy; finally join with oxygen (to produce water); occurs in cristae of mitochondria; chemiosmosis is the movement of protons/hydrogen ions; protons move/are moved against their concentration gradient; into the space between the two membranes; protons flow back to the matrix; through the ATP synthase/synthetase (enzyme); energy is released which produces more ATP/combines ADP and Pi; [9 max]

8.1.6: Explain the relationship between the structure of the mitochondrion and its function
Mitochondrion

Matrix
Inter-membrane space
Cristae
Function of structure
The matrix is the mitochondrion’s cytoplasm. It is the fluid contained inside the inner membrane.
The matrix contains enzymes for the Krebs cycle.
The small intermembrane space is in-between the inner and outer membrane of a mitochondrion. It functions to store protons, which are then used to make ATP as they flow down a concentration gradient.
Cristae are infoldings of the inner membrane, which is the location of the electron transport chain of cell respiration. The cristae increase surface area of the inner membrane; thus increasing the rate of ATP formation.

IB Question Explain the light-independent reactions.
[8]
CO is fixed to form a carbohydrate;
ATP and NADPH produced in light dependent reactions used in light independent reactions; glyceraldehydes / three-carbon sugar; occurs in stroma of chloroplast; ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) catalyzes attachment of 2 CO to
(five-carbon sugar) ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP);
(unstable six-carbon intermediate) forms two molecules of glycerate-3-phosphate; each (of two) glycerate-3-phosphate then receives one phosphate from ATP; each (of two) phosphorylated glycerate-3-phosphate is reduced by NADPH H ; result is (two molecules of) glyceraldehyde phosphate/triose phosphate (TP); for every six molecules of glyceraldehyde phosphate one goes to form glucose/ glucose phosphate; remaining molecules reorganized to RuBP; reorganization requires ATP;
RuBP allows cycle to start again; [8 max]
