Cellular Resporation Flashcards
First step to Cellular respiration (CR)?
Glycolysis
Second step?
Acetyl co A
Third?
Citric acid cycle/Krebs cycle
Fourth?
ETC
Where does the glycolysis take place?
Cytoplasm
What step doesn’t require o2?
Glycolysis. Also known as fermentation if no O2
Point of glycolysis?
Split glucose into many small carbons
2 3-carbons form glycolysis also know as
Pyruvates
Net yield form glycolysis (4)
2-pyruvates, 2 H2O, 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 H+
Acetyl CoA occurs where?
On its way to citric acid cycle
What happens to Pyruvates in Acetyl coA?
Co enzyme A attaches to Pyruvates to become Acetyl coA, which goes to citric acid cycle from there.
Pyruvates become
Acitate
Krebs cycle happens where?
Matrix
Does it require O2? (Citric acid cycle)
Yes
By product of citric acid cycle because of Pyruvates broken down?
CO2
