32
Q

First step of KREBs cycle

A

Acetyl-Coa enters matrix of mitochondrion

33
Q

Second step of KREBS cycle

A

coA leaves system, which goes into the KREBS cycle

34
Q

Third step of KREBS cycle

A

Acetyl CoA rects with 4 carbon molecule which makes a 6 carbon molecule known as CITRIC ACID

35
Q

The KREBS cycle is an _____ process

A

aerobic

36
Q

What is produced in the KREBS cycle

A

2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 4 CO2

37
Q

What is the fourth step of the KREBS cycle

A

Citric acid is oxidized and transfers electrons and hydrogens to NAD+ which turns into NADH and also creates a 5 carbon molecule

38
Q

During each transfer of electrons and protons in the KREBS cycle what else is released

A

CO2

39
Q

What other electron carrier molecule is produced during the KREBS cycle

A

FADH2

40
Q

For every glucose molecule used ____ intermediate and KREBS cycles are performed

A

2

41
Q

Why are 2 intermediate and KREB cycles performed for every glucose molecule

A

bc glycolysis produces 2 pyruvic acids which is what starts the cycles

42
Q

What is the last step of cellular respiration?

A

Electron transport chain

43
Q

Where does the electron transport chain occur

A

inner membrane/cristae

44
Q

Which step in cellular respiration has the bulk of the energy

A

electron transport chain

45
Q

Why does the electron transport chain extract so much energy from its reactants

A

bc oxygen is at the end of the chain which is one of the worlds most powerful electron acceptors

46
Q

What is the first step of the electron transport chain?

A

NADH and FADH2 pass their high energy electrons to the electron transport chain (turning them into NAD+ and FAD)

47
Q

What is the second step of the electron transport chain?

A

The high energy electrons are passed from protein carrier to protein carrier

47
Q

what happens while The high energy electrons are passed from protein to protein (-2e)

A

the proteins pump H+ across the cristae

how many times does the KREBS cycle always occur and why

A

twice once for each pyruvic acid

68
Q

What kind of respiration is the electron transport chain

A

aerobic respiration

69
Q

What is the main goal of the electron transport chain

A

uses the high energy electrons from glycolysis and the KREBs cycle (stored in the high energy electron carriers) to convert ADP into ATP

70

where is the electron transport chain located in eukaryotes

A

cristae

71
Q

where is the electron transport chain located in prokaryotes

A

cell membrane

72
Q

How many high energy electrons are passed from protein carrier to protein carrier at a time in the electron transport chain

A

2 at a time

73
Q

what is the final amount of ATP made in cellular respiration

A

32

74
Q

what is the math to get to 32 ATP

A

Every NADH = 2.5 ATP and there are 10 NADH = 25 ATP
Every FADH2 = 1.5 ATP and there are 2 FADH2 = 3 ATP
