24
Q

Alcoholic fermentation forms _____ from ______

A

Alcohol, glucose

25
Alcoholic fermentation requires ______ ______ from glycolysis
Pyruvic acid
26
Alcoholic fermentation produces _____ _______ and ____
Ethyl alcohol, CO2
27
Lactic acid fermentation in humans builds up in _____ (soreness & cramps)
Muscles
28
Lactic acid fermentation has ____ acid that chances to ____ acid
Pyruvic, lactic
29
Lactic acid fermentation requires ____ acid
Pyruvic
30
Lactic acid fermentation produces ____ ____ and small amounts of ____
Lactic acid, ATP
31
Respiration from fats and proteins: fats and proteins can be broken down into _______ that can enter the respiration path
Molecules
32
Respiration from fats and proteins: ____ produce twice as much ATP as ____ because it has twice as many ____
Fats, glucose, bonds
33
Respiration from fats and proteins: _____ give about the same amount of energy as _____
Proteins, carbs
34
Why are proteins not preferred?
They are needed to build other proteins and enzymes in your body
35
When you break down a bond you get _____
Energy
36
How many carbons are there in glucose? Pyruvic acid? How many pyruvic acids can be produced from one glucose?
6, 3, 2 Pyruvic acids from one glucose
37
Why pyruvic acids is formed from glucose do we make bonds or break bonds? What do we get as a result?
Break the glucose bond to create pyruvic acids. We get 2 pyruvic acids
38
What has to happen to pyruvic acid in order to begin Krebs cycle?
It breaks down chemical bonds
39
How many carbons does Acetyl CoA have? Do we gain or loose carbon? What is formed as a result? Do we make bonds or break bonds? What do we get as a result?
Acetyl CoA: 2 carbons, we lose one
