Respiration

Question 1

What is glycerol converted to and fed into aerobic respiration where?

Answer 1

3c sugar (triose phosphate) enters glycolysis

Question 2

What is fatty acids made into and fed into aerobic respiration where?

Answer 2

Split into 2c fragments that enter kerbs as acetyl coA

Question 3

What are the positives of using fats compared to carbs?

Answer 3

More hydrogen = more NAD & FAD so more ATP
Every 1g of lipids produces twice as much ATP

Question 4

How are proteins used in aerobic respiration?

Answer 4

Amino acids delaminated into ammonia and keto acids (one is pyruvate) which is used in links
Others fed into kerbs

Question 5

What is substrate level phosphorylation?

Answer 5

Production of ATP while using phosphate groups transferred from donor molecules
OR
When enough energy is released from a reaction to bind ADP to Pi

Question 6

What is oxidative phosphorylation?

Answer 6

Energy to make ATP comes from a series of oxidation-reduction reactions and released in transfer of electrons through chain of electron carriers
