Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Cellular Respiration transforms glucose into
ATP
1 glucose yields about
38 ATP
What are the three parts of Cellular Respiration?
- Glycolysis
- Krebs
- ETC
Glycolysis is the act of
Breaking up glucose into 2 Pyruvates
Glycolysis is in need of
2 ATP
How many net ATP are generated during Glycolysis?
2 ATP
What does Fermentation use to oxidize NADH back into NAD+?
Use pyruvates
Glycolysis reduces
2NAD+ into 2NADH
What is the Net production of Glycolysis?
- 2 ATP
- 2 NADH
- 2 Pyruvate
The Krebs cycle also generates
2 ATP
Krebs is fueled by
CoA, which is attached to the remaining pyruvate
What is produced by the Krebs Cycle?
- CO2
- NADH
- FADH2
- ATP
The bulk of ATP is produced in the
ETC
How is NADH formed in both glycolysis + Krebs?
Hs are added to the NAD+, making them NADH
For each molecule of glucose, how many NADH formed in both glycolysis + Krebs?
10 NAD+s for each molecule of glucose
