Q

What does Glycolysis do?

A

Breaks down glucose to get pyruvate

20
Q

How many pyruvate molecules are produced as a result of Glycolysis?

A

2 for every glucose molecule

21
Q

True or False? During Glycolysis, 2NAD+ is reduced to 2NADH

22
Q

How many ATP molecules are gained through Glycolysis?

23
Q

Where does Pyruvate Oxidation occur?

A

In the Mitochondria

24
Q

Before the Citric Acid Cycle, what breaks off from the 2 acetyl CoA?

A

Coenzyme A and 4CO2

25
What "remainder" enters the Citric Acid Cycle?
2-C acetyl
26
True or False? The Citric Acid Cycle has many steps, each with their own enzyme.
True
27
For each initial glucose, what does the Citric Acid Cycle yield?
2 ATP, 6NADH, 2FADH2
28
In the ETC, when electrons are delivered to the proteins, what initially happens to them?
The electrons are passed off like a relay race and move through the ETC
29
True or False? Having excess H+ is good.
False
30
How is excess H+ reduced?
The H+ binds to the ATP synthase and turn its 'motor' so it can bind to the ADP and add a phosphate to create ATP
31
What is ADP?
The substrate for ATP
32
What is the waste product when binding to the ATP synthase?
H20 (oxygen + H+)
33
How much ATP is produced through Oxidative Phosphorylation?
~30 molecules
34
What is the term for when H+ is reduced by binding to the ATP synthase?
Chemiosmosis
35
What are the 2 things that occur during Oxidative Phosphorylation?
ETC and Chemiosmosis
36
True or False? Many toxins disrupt Chemiosmosis and the Mitochondria.
True
37
Rotenone is found in ______
Insectiside
38
Cyanide and Carbon Monoxide is produced by ______
Mites, found in almonds
39
Oligomycin is found in ______
Antibiotics
40
Which type of respiration uses oxygen: Aerobic or Anaerobic?
Aerobic
41
True or False? Anaerobic Respiration needs oxygen to occur.
False
42
How is cellular respiration related to photosynthesis?
Their inputs and outputs are inverses (one's output is the other's input, and vice versa)
43
What are the inputs for Cellular Respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
44
What is the formula for Glucose?
C6H12O6
45
What are the outputs of Cellular Respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
