During cellular respiration, oxidation is the result of the removal of _______ atoms from substrates such as glucose.
hydrogen
__________ and ________ are the coenzymes that carry out the oxidation during cellular respiration.
NAD+ and FAD
The production of ATP by using the electrochemical gradient of H+ is known as:
chemiosmosis
The prep (transition) reaction takes place in the:
mitochondrial matrix
In the electron transport chain, _____________ is the terminal electron acceptor.
O2
The total ATP yield of cellular respiration, in terms of ATP, is:
36 or 38 ATP
In terms of its need for oxygen being present, glycolysis is an ________________ series of reactions.
anaerobic
Why is it beneficial for pyruvate to be reduced during fermentation?
because it regenerates NAD+
Production of ATP during glycolysis is via a process called:
substrate-level phosphorylation
substrate-level phosphorylation
NADH produced during glycolysis is transported and becomes part of which phase of cellular respiration?
electron transport chain
The net production of ATP molecules from glycolysis is:
2
During the preparatory reaction, 2 molecules of _________, a waste product, are produced.
CO2
Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
the mitochondrial matrix
During the citric acid cycle, _________ ATP, __________ NADH, and _________FADH2 are produced via oxidation reactions.
2 6, 2
2 6, 2
The coenzymes NADH and FADH2 are carrying what to the electron transport chain?
high-energy electrons
The first six-carbon product of the citric acid cycle is:
citrate
During the electron transport chain, each of the carrier proteins, in turn, is _____________ then _____________.
reduced, oxidized
After accepting the low energy electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, O2 reacts to form:
H2O
The hydrogens from NADH and FADH2 are pumped to ______________ by electron transport chain carrier proteins
the inner membrane space
The sum of all the metabolic processes that involve breaking down other molecules in the body is known as:
catabolism
