Q

Occurs in cytoplasm

Outline the process of glycolysis in a mammalian cell. [6]

30
Q

MM

4) coenzyme transfers acetyl group with 2C to Krebs Cycle

5) 0 ATP produced

ACetyl COA transported to krebs cycle

4) ATP produced
5) Subst level phosp
6) enzyme caalysed reactions
- oxaloacetate is regenerated and can recombine with ACoA

45
Q

mechanism of redox indicators when determining respiration rates

A

1) dehydrogenation happens regularly throughout the different stages of aerobic respiration
2) the hydrogens that are removed from substrate molecules are used in oxidative phosphorylation and are transferred by NAD and FAD
3) when DCPIP and methylene blue are present, they can also take up hydrogens and get reduced (blue -> colourless)
4) faster the rate of respiration, the faster the rate of hydrogen release and faster the dyes get reduced and turn colourless
5) therefore the rate of colour change can correspond to the rate of respiration in yeast
5) rate of respiration (sec^-1) = 1 / time (sec
