Pre-krebs and Krebs cycle Flashcards
1
Q
what is before the Krebs Cycle?
A
Glycolysis
2
Q
what comes from glycolysis and goes into the Krebs cycle?
A
the 2 pyruvates from glycolysis gets used in The Krebs cycle.
3
Q
what happens in the pre-krebs cycle?
A
The Pyruvates from Glycolysis combines with an enzyme called Coenzyme A (CoA). This reaction produces a molecule of Acetyl CoA.
4
Q
What is the Krebs cycle?
A
The Krebs cycle is a Cyclical series of reactions that give off CO2 and produces one ATP per cycle
5
Q
Is the Krebs cycle Anaerobic or Aerobic?
A
The Krebs Cycle is Aerobic.
6
Q
How many times doe the Krebs cycle happen?
A
the cycle Turns once per pyruvate molecule (2 turns per glucose molecule) and Produces Two ATP
7
Q
Where does The Krebs Cycle happen?
A
The Krebs cycle occurs on the Matrix of the mitochondria.
