Q

What two coenzymes accept electrons and are therefore reduced and can then take electrons to the electron transport chain?

A

NAD+ and FAD
NAD+ + 2e- + H+ -> NADH
FAD + 2e- + H+ -> FADH2

Q

Name the three main phases of cell respiration.

A

Glycolysis- occurs in the cytoplasm ( on the thylakoids)
Preparatory step- occurs in mitochondria
Citric Acid Cycle- occurs in the mitochondria
Electron Transport Chain- occurs in mitochondria

Q

What is the step between glycolysis and the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)?

A

In glycolysis, one 6 carbon molecule of glucose breaks down to two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate
Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis
NAD+ is reduced to NADH (endergonic) when glucose is oxidized to pyruvate (exergonic)

where the pyruvate made from glycolysis is oxidized by the NAD+, which is reduced to NADH and is sent to the electron transport chain.

Q

What molecule enters glycolysis? What is the final product? How many ATP are produced? Is this substrate level phosphorylation or oxidative phosphorylation? Is NADH produced?

A
  1. One 6 carbon molecule of glucose breaks down to two 3 carbon molecules of pyruvate
  2. Pyruvate
  3. Net gain of ATP from glycolysis= 2
  4. Phosphorylation of ADP to produce ATP
  5. Net gain of NADH=2

Q

Describe the Preparatory Step that occurs before Krebs Cycle? What is the product? What is lost in order to produce this two carbon molecule from three carbon pyruvate?

A
  1. 3 carbon pyruvate is transformed to a 2 carbon Acetyl CoA and carbon dioxide is released
  2. 2 NAD+ molecule are reduced to NADH and carbon dioxide
