Aerobic System

Question 1

Aerobic Glycolysis

Answer 1

Glucose (six-carbon molecule)
Pyruvic Acid (two, three carbon molecules)

Question 2

Glycolysis(sarcoplasm/cytoplasm) to the kreb’s cycle

Answer 2

6C (glucose/glycogen), to a 3C (pyruvate/lactate) to a 2 C molecule (Acetyl Coenzyme A)

Question 3

Aerobic Metabolism- where do these processes happen?

Answer 3

Glycolysis (both aerobic and anaerobic): takes place in the sarcoplasm.

Beta-Oxidation (functions in parallel with glycolysis): cleaves a free fatty acid (FFA) molecule down into two carbon molecules.

Question 4

Where does the kreb’s cycle and electron transport chain take place?

Answer 4

it takes place in the mitochondria (inner matric and cristae, respectively)

Question 5

Kreb’s cycle- how the process moves from sarcoplasm to the mitochondria?

Answer 5

2x pyruvate molecules (3C).
2 x CO2 molecules.
2x Acetyl Coenzymes A molecules (2C)
only then can the sugar or fat (acyl coenzyme A) enter the mitochondria
