Electronegativity

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons toward itself.

Which term describes the degree to which an element attracts electrons?

Anion and cation.

Each atom will carry a charge from the transfer of electrons.

Which terms describe two atoms when they form a bond in which electrons are completely transferred from one atom to the other?

Oxygen holds electrons more tightly than hydrogen does, and the net charge is zero

The oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water have partial charges, but the molecule has a net charge of zero.

Which of the following statements is true of the bonds in a water molecule?

A hydrogen atom is transferred to the atom that loses an electron

A hydrogen atom (proton, or H+) is often transferred to the atom that gains an electron.

Which of the following statements is not true of most cellular redox reactions?

Ionic.

The complete transfer of an electron from lithium to fluorine results in a stable compound in which both atoms have full outermost shells.

What kind of bond is formed when lithium and fluorine combine to form lithium fluoride?

Hydrogen, polar.

Hydrogen loses electrons to oxygen, which is more electronegative and thus pulls the electrons closer to itself in the water molecule

2H2 + O2 → 2H2 O + energy

Glucose is consumed, and carbon dioxide is produced.

The carbon in glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.

In the combined processes of glycolysis and cellular respiration, what is consumed and what is produced?

Electrons are being moved from atoms that have a lower affinity for electrons (such as C) to atoms with a higher affinity for electrons (such as O

Why does the oxidation of organic compounds by molecular oxygen to produce CO2 and water release free energy?

C6H12O6 is oxidized and O2 is reduced.

Which of the following statements describes the results of this reaction?

In acetyl CoA formation, the carbon-containing compound from glycolysis is oxidized to produce acetyl CoA. From the following compounds involved in cellular respiration, choose those that are the net inputs and net outputs of acetyl CoA formation.

Oxidative Phosphorylation
In the last stage of cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, all of the reduced electron carriers produced in the previous stages are oxidized by oxygen via the electron transport chain. The energy from this oxidation is stored in a form that is used by most other energy-requiring reactions in cells.
From the following compounds involved in cellular respiration, choose those that are the net inputs and net outputs of oxidative phosphorylation.

Cellular locations of the four stages of cellular respiration
Each of the four stages of cellular respiration occurs in a specific location inside or outside the mitochondria. These locations permit precise regulation and partitioning of cellular resources to optimize the utilization of cellular energy.

Citric Acid Cycle
In the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle), acetyl CoA is completely oxidized. From the following compounds involved in cellular respiration, choose those that are the net inputs and net outputs of the citric acid cycle.

Redox (oxidation-reduction) reactions in glycolysis
In glycolysis, as in all the stages of cellular respiration, the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors plays a critical role in the overall conversion of the energy in foods to energy in ATP. These reactions involving electron transfers are known as oxidation-reduction, or redox, reactions.

pyruvate, ATP, and NADH

ATP is the main product of cellular respiration that contains energy that can be used by other cellular processes. Some ATP is made in glycolysis. In addition, the NADH and pyruvate produced in glycolysis are used in subsequent steps of cellular respiration to make even more ATP.

Energy from glycolysis
Among the products of glycolysis, which compounds contain energy that can be used by other biological reactions?

The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one used to produce ATP during oxidative phosphorylation. Phosphorylation reactions involve the addition of a phosphate group to another molecule.
