16
Q

What does the CoA enzyme do other than transport the molecules?

A

Converts NAD+ to NADH and combines with pyruvate to produce acetyl CoA and carbon dioxide.

17
Q

How many times does the Krebs cycle prep have to happen in order to break down a glucose molecule?

A

Twice because of the two pyruvates glycolysis produces.

18
Q

What does the Krebs cycle do?

A

Breaks down the remaining acetyl CoA into carbon dioxide, ATP, NADH, and FADH2

19
Q

What is the first step of the Krebs cycle?

A

Acetyl CoA combines with a four-carbon molecule

20
Q

What do the two carbons in acetyl CoA become in the Krebs Cycle?

A

Carbon Dioxide

21
Q

what are Products from Krebs Cycle?

A

NADH, ATP, FADH2, CO2

22
Q

How many times does the Krebs cycle have to happen in order to break down a glucose molecule?

A

Twice because of the two acetyl CoA Krebs cycle prep produces.

23
Q

Where does the Krebs Cycle Occur?

A

In the Matrix inside of a Mitochondrion.

24
Q

What gas is created in the Krebs Cycle?

A

Carbon Dioxide

25
Q

Does cellular respiration oxidize or reduce glucose?

A

Oxidizes.

26
Q

What is the space inside the folds part of the mitochondrion called?

A

The matrix

27

36 ATP

36
Q

What is lactate fermentation? What is the problem with it? How to solve it?

A

A process where lactate is created from pyruvate because of lack of oxygen

It builds up causing cramps.

Heavy breathing, drinking water

Which fermentation process creates Co2?

A

Alcohol fermentation
