cellular respiration in germinating peas Flashcards
glycolysis is the process from
1 glucose turns to = 2 “NADH, 2 “ATP”
Acetyl-CoA synthesis and Krebs Cycle
2 Pyruvate turns to = 8 NADH, 2 FADH, 2 ATP
Electron-Transport Chain
10 NADH, 2 FADH turns to = 32 ATP
the pyruvate synthesized during what?
glycolysis
what does pyruvate convert to?
acetyl-CoA
how does pyruvate convert to acetyl-CoA?
in the presence of oxygen, once acetyl enters mitochondria, it converts
what extra is created in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA?
one molecule of carbon dioxide & one molecule of NADH
acetyl-CoA is metabolized through what SIX REACTIONS
Krebs Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle
Krebs Cycle or?
Citric Acid Cycle
Citric Acid Cycle or?
Krebs Cycle
each molecule of acetyl-CoA is metabolized to produce what?
2 molecules of CO2, some ATP, electrons
what are the extra “Kreb’s Cycle” electrons used for?
they are transfered to yeild reduced forms) NADH and FADH
what are the “reduced” electron-carrier molecules?
NADH & FADH2
what does the electron-transport chain synthesize?
ATP
what is the electron transport chain?
its a membrain-ey protein chain that collects electrons and hydrogen. The transporters switch between “reduced” and “oxidized” forms within the cell.
what are the “oxydised” electron molecules
NAD+ & FAD
