Before test Flashcards
Which processes use substrate level phosphorylation
In Krebs Cycle 2 ATP
Glycolysis 2 ATP
why is oxidation named oxidation
Oxygen is one of the worlds best electron acceptors.
how many carbons does oxaloacetate have
4
there are _ acetyl-CoA per glucose broken down in glycolysis
there are 2 acetyl-CoA per glucose broken down in glycolysis
the electrochemical gradient creates a potential _____ (voltage) across the
membrane (more + on one side)
the electrochemical gradient creates a potential difference (voltage) across the
membrane (more + on one side)
So why do we need to breathe O 2 ?
Without O 2 , there would be no acceptor of e - at the end of the E.T.C.
Electrons would back up, protons would not be pumped to create the
concentration gradient, there would be no ATP production and NADH and
FADH 2 would not be able to drop off e - ’s
