40
Q

Aer
stages within system: aerobic glycolysis (5)

A

1) glucose -> pyruvic acid – by enzyme PFK
2) provides enough energy to re-synthesise 2 mol ATP
3) done in presence of O2
4) reactions take place in sarcoplasm
5) O2 present - pyruvic acid combines with coenzyme A to form Acetyle CoA

41
Q

Aer
stages within system: Krebs cycle (6)

A

1) Acetyle CoA + oxaloacetic acid -> citric acid
2) citric acid goes through cycle of reactions called Krebs cycle
3) this produces enough energy to re-synthesise 2 mol ATP
4) CO2 produced as by- product of these reactions
5) takes place in matrix of mitochondria
6) Hydrogen ions (H^+) also produced in this process & carried through to ETC

42
Q

Aer
stages within system: Electron Transport Chain (ETC) (5)

A

1) H^+ ions carried through to ETC from Krebs cycle
2) H^+ ions combine with NAD & FAD to form NADH & FADH
3) this releases enough energy to re-synthesise 34 mol ATP
4) happens in cristae folds of mitochondria
5) H^+ ions also combine with O2 to from H2O (by-product)
