25
Q

functions of dehydrogenase

A

transfers electrons from G3P to the oxidizing agent AND+ and NADH

uses energy from energonic transfer of electrons to add a phosphate from the cytosol to the oxidized G3P to form 1, 3-biphosphoglycerate

26
Q

A

continue to Kreb cycle and the ETC to synthesize ATP only in the presence of O2
