Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What is the starting material for glycolysis?
glucose
What are the products of glycolysis?
- 2 NADH
- 2 ATP (net)
- 2 pyruvate
Where does glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm
Is oxygen required for glycolysis?
NO
What happens during acetyl-CoA production?
- Production of NADH
- Releases CO2
- Breakdown into acetyl
What is the starting material for acetyl-CoA production?
2 pyruvate
What are the products of acetyl-CoA production?
- 2 NADH
- 2 CO2
- 2 acetyl-CoA
Where does acetyl-CoA production take place?
mitochondria
Is oxygen required for acetyl-CoA production?
YES
What are the starting materials for the Krebs cycle?
2 acetyl-CoA
What are the products of the Krebs cycle?
- 6 NADH
- 2 FADH2
- 4 CO2
- 2 ATP
Where does the Krebs cycle take place?
mitochondria
Is oxygen required for the Krebs cycle?
YES
What is the role of high-energy electrons in the electron transport chain?
Removed from NADH and FADH2
What happens to electrons in the electron transport chain?
Their energy is extracted through exergonic oxidation and reduction reactions
