III Flashcards
Where does glycolysis take place?
Cytoplasm
What is the input of glycolysis?
C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+
What is the output of glycolysis?
2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 H2O
What is the basic molecule that goes into fermentation?
Pyruvate
What process produces lactic acid, and where does it take place?
Fermentation in muscle
The two products that fermentation can produce are?
Lactic acid and ethanol
Which process can occur with or without oxygen?
Glycolysis
The process by which Pyruvate is converted into Acetyl CoA is called?
Pyruvate decarboxylation
Where does Pyruvate decarboxylation take place?
The mitochondrial matrix
What is the process by which Acetyl CoA is transformed into coenzymes?
The Citric Acid Cycle
What is the process by which coenzymes are oxidized and energy is released as electrons are passed from carrier to carrier?
The Electron Transport Chain
Process by which ADP is converted into ATP is called?
Oxidative Phosphorylation
What happens to NADH and FADH2 for them to pass energy to ATP synthase?
They are oxidized.
How many ATP total are produced in aerobic respiration?
36
How many carbons are in Pyruvate?
3
