Cellular Respiration 2/3 Pyruvate Processing & Citric Acid Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
where does pyruvate processing occur
A
mitochondria matrix
2
Q
what are the pyruvate processing reactants
A
2 pyruvate 2 CoA 2 NAD+
3
Q
what are the pyruvate processing products
A
2 NADH 2 CO2 2 Ac-CoA
4
Q
what is the importance of oxygen in pyruvate processing
A
it allows pyruvate to enter the mitochondria and be converted into acetyl-CoA
5
Q
what are the reactants of the citric acid cycle
A
1 acetyl-CoA 3 NAD+ 1 FAD 1 ADP 1 H2O
6
Q
what are the products of the citric acid cycle
A
3 NADH 3 H+ 1 FADH2 1 ATP 2 CO2
7
Q
what are the steps of pyruvate processing
A
carboxyl group removed making CO2, then oxidization which transfers electrons from NAD+ to NADH, then transferred to CoA making acetyl-CoA
8
Q
how many reactions does the citric acid cycle have
A
8
