3- Stage two, The Link Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
what is the link reaction
A
the stage of respiration linking glycolysis to the Krebs cycle
2
Q
if oxygen is present _____ is transported into the _____ _____ via ____ _____
A
- pyruvate
- mitochondrial matrix
- active transport
3
Q
what is oxidative carboxylation
A
the removal of CO2 and H+ from pyruvate, producing acetate,
the released H+ ions is accepted by NAD
4
Q
what happens after oxidative carboxylation
A
acetate combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl coenzyme A
5
Q
what happens after acetyl CoA is formed?
A
it enters the Krebs cycle
6
Q
what does one pyruvate molecule produce
A
- 1x CO2
- 1x NADH
- 1x Acetyl CoA
6
Q
