Bio Quiz Flashcards
What is the overall reaction of Glycolysis? What is the end result?
Glucose (1 molecule) → 2 Pyruvate molecules
Net gain of 2 ATP
Production of 2 NADH Molecules
Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?
Cytosol of the cell
What are some key phases that take place in glycolysis?
Energy Investment phase and Energy Payoff phase
What is the significance of Glycolysis?
Energy production: Provides a quick source of energy; Building blocks the pyruvate can enter the mitochondria
What are the end results of the ETC?
Production of H2O and 32 ATP
What happens with NADH?
Gets passed along the ETC from protein to protein until the energy dies
What happens with FADH?
Gets passed along the ETC from protein to protein until the energy dies
What makes the ETC the most energy producing of all the steps?
Efficient in producing ATP and Chemiosmosis
What is the final electron acceptor?
Oxygen
How is water produced?
Through the coupling of the energy reduced NADH and FADH and oxygen
What are the reactions called that happen in the ECF?
Redox reactions
