Glycolysis, Link Reaction and Krebs Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
How is acetyle coenzyme A formed in the link reaction?
2
A
-pyruvate is oxidised using NAD to remove H AND CO2 released to make acetate
-coenzyme A added to make acetyle coenzyme A
2
Q
How is ATP useful in many biological processes?
4
A
-releases energy in small amounts
-broken down in one step
-lowers a.e
-resynthesised
3
Q
Why is it important that plants produce ATP during respiration and in photosynthesis?
5
A
-photosynthesis doesnt produce ATP in the dark
-ATP can’t be moved from cell to cell
-plants use more ATP than they make
-some tissues cant photosynthesise
4

2
A
-link reaction
-krebs cycle
5
Q

-link reaction
-krebs cycle
6
