Study Notes

Fermentation

Fermentation is a type of redox metabolism that occurs in the absence of oxygen.
It's less efficient than aerobic respiration, producing less ATP.
Anaerobic organisms use fermentation to generate energy.
Common types include lactic acid fermentation (used in dairy products) and alcoholic fermentation (used in winemaking).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a key microorganism in wine fermentation.
Wine flavor and aroma are influenced by grape variety, yeast strain, and climate/soil conditions.
Glucose and fructose are primary sugars in grapes for fermentation.
Filtering removes dead yeast and solids from wine.
Temperature control during winemaking impacts flavor profiles and prevents spoilage.
Ways to prevent unwanted microbial growth include adding sulphites, maintaining low pH, and using sterile equipment.

Cellular Respiration

Respiration is a molecular process breaking down glucose for energy.
Reactions produce waste products and energy.
Primary reactants are glucose and oxygen; primary products are carbon dioxide and water.
Chemical equation for aerobic respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
Two types of respiration:
- Aerobic respiration: Requires oxygen, occurs in the presence of oxygen, generates more ATP.
- Anaerobic respiration: Does not require oxygen, occurs in the absence of oxygen. Produces less ATP and includes fermentation as a possible outcome.
Intense exercise might cause the body to switch to lactic acid fermentation due to oxygen shortage.

Four Stages of Cellular Respiration

Glycolysis: Converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH.
Pyruvate Oxidation: Pyruvate is converted into Acetyl CoA, releasing CO₂ and producing NADH.
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle): Acetyl CoA combines with a four-carbon molecule. Produces ATP, NADH, and FADH₂.
Oxidative Phosphorylation/Electron Transport Chain (ETC): NADH and FADH₂ release electrons, driving ATP production. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor, forming water.

Microbial Growth Prevention

Methods include adding sulphites, maintaining low pH, and using sterile equipment.

Consequences of Cheating

Cheating undermines personal growth, integrity, and potential.
It is a betrayal of trust and has lasting consequences.
It robs the individual of the essential learning process.
It damages the learning environment and collective trust.
Success comes from hard work and perseverance.
Honest effort leads to true satisfaction and confidence.
