Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
How many ATP does aerobic respiration produce
A
38 ATP
2
Q
Where does glycolysis take place
A
Cytoplasm
3
Q
Where does the Link reaction take place
A
Mitochondrial matrix
4
Q
Where does the Krebs cycle take place
A
Mitochondrial matrix
5
Q
What are the 2 ways ATP can be generated in respiration
A
Substrate-level phosphorylation and Oxidative phosphorylation
6
Q
What is substrate-level phosphorylation
A
ATP is generated directly through energy released via respiration reactions. This occurs in glycolysis and Krebs
7
Q
Describe glycolysis
A
Phosphorylation of glucose using ATP to form phosphorylated glucose. Uses 2 ATP
Splits to 2 Triose Phosphate
Oxidation of triose phosphate to 2 pyruvate
Uses formation of 2 ATP
1 NAD reduced into NADH
Net gain of ATP
