Bootcamp Chapter 3 Flashcards
Where does glycolysis occur?
Cytosol
How many NADH, ATP, and pyruvate are formed in glycolysis?
2, 4, 2
ATP produced during glycolysis comes from which process?
substrate level phosphorylation
Describe pyruvate decarboxylation.
Where does it occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
End product of glycolysis (pyruvate) will be converted to acetyl CoA via PDC enzyme.
cytoplasm (bacteria), and mitochondrial matrix (eukaryotes)
2 pyruvate molecules produced from glycolysis will produce ____ NADH and ____ CO2 in pyruvate decarboxylation.
2, 2
The Krebs cycle takes place in the _______
mitochondrial matrix
Acetyl CoA made from pyruvate in pyruvate decarboxylation will combine with ____ to form ____ in the citric acid cycle.
oxaloacetate, citrate
What are the final products of the Krebs cycle?
Describe why the net amount changes.
3 NADH
1 FADH2
1 ATP
2 CO2
Everything doubles when net amount is accounted for because glycolysis produces two pyruvate molecules.
Oxidative Phosphorylation
process where ADP forms ATP from NADH and FADH2 by passing electrons through carrier proteins
What is the overall goal of aerobic respiration?
Regnerate NAD+ via O2, which is required for the continuation of glycolysis
What is the final electron acceptor in alcohol fermentation?
Acetaldehyde
What is the modified version of the Krebs cycle that plants and bacteria use?
What does it produce?
Glyoxylate cycle
produces sugar from acetyl CoA
