Quiz Matching

Question 1

glycolysis

Answer 1

a pathway in which glucose is oxidized to pyruvic acid. One 6-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid.

Question 2

Krebs cycle

Answer 2

a series of biochemical reactions that release carbon dioxide and result in the formation of ATP

Question 3

ETC

Answer 3

Electron Transport Chain which is the 2nd stage of aerobic respiration where molecules in the thylakoid membrane and mitochondrial membrane that uses energy to pump protons across the membrane.

Question 4

acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA)

Answer 4

the compound that reacts with oxaloacetic acid in the first step of the Krebs cycle

Question 5

Fermentation

Answer 5

a process in which cells make a limited amount of ATP by converting glucose into another organic compound, such as lactic acid or ethyl alcohol, in the absence of oxygen
