Is an energy harvesting process that transfers the chemical energy from glucose and other substances from ATP
Cellular respiration
Is processed by the cell into pyruvate via glycolysis
Glucose
One round of Krebs cycle produces?
3 NADH and 1 FADH²
Glucose is ultimately broken down into 2 molecules of (blank) with a net gain of?
Pyruvate
2 ATP, 2 NADH
The Krebs cycle takes place in the
Mitochondrial matrix
Glucose is processed by the cell into pyruvate via
Glycolysis
The pyruvate moves to the next step where it is decarboxylated and becomes bound to
Coenzyme A
When the Coenzyme A becomes bounded, it forms?
Acetyl CoA
Where the acetyl initially reacts condense with oxoloacetate forming citrate
Krebs cycle
Several rounds of oxidation and ( blank) to remove 2 molecules of CO², the oxoloacetate is regenerated.
Decarboxylation
The (blank) utilizes the electrons in the NADH and FADH² to power proton pumps.
Electron transport chain
True or false.The electron transport chain is composed of four complexes.
True
Acquires electrons from NADH and FADH² respectively and transfer the electrons to Coenzyme Q
Complex I and II
Transfers electrons from Coenzyme Q to Cytochrome C
Complex III
Transfers electrons from cytochrome C to Oxygen, forming water.
Complex IV
All except complex III pump protons to the
Intermembrane space
True or false. This accumulation of protons drive the protein ATP synthase, which creates ATP from ADP and phosphate using the potential energy of H fusion.
T
All this is possible with the use of (blank) as the final electron acceptor.
Oxygen
If oxygen is scarces such as in (blank), the (blank)!must be regenerated to continue glycolysis.
Anaerobic conditions
NAD+
The pyruvate is reduced to (blank) via this method in humans. In yeasts, this results in the production of (blank)
Lactic acid
Ethanol
Write the overall reaction for cellular respiration
C⁶H¹²O⁶+6O² ->6CO²+6H²0+25ATP
Glucose + oxygen that yields to carbon dioxide + water + ATP
What is the literal meaning of glycolysis
Sugar splitting
Where in the cell does glycolysis take place?
In the cytosol
What is the advantage of glycolysis taking place stepwise?
If energy is released all at once it cannot be harnessed. Organic molecules are broken down in a series of steps to harness all of the energy.
