Q

What happens during glycolysis (sugar splitting)?

A

1 molecule of glucose is split in half to produce 2 molecules of pyruvate

24
Q

What is needed to start the process of splitting the glucose molecule in glycolysis?

A

2 ATP molecules and 2 NAD+ molecules

25
Q

What is the equation for glycolysis?

A

C6H12O6 + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+ —> 2 Pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 NADH

26
Q

Glycolysis occurs without oxygen which means it is _____.

A

Anaerobic

27
Q

What is the PDC (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex)?

A

A group of enzymes that prepares pyruvate to enter the 3rd step of cellular respiration (the Krebs cycle)

28
Q

Pyruvate contains ___ carbon atoms and the Krebs cycle can only accept a molecule with ___ carbon atoms. So PDC’s job is ______.

A

to remove one of the carbons from pyruvate and attach the remaining 2-carbon structure to a coenzyme called Acetyl Co-A

29
Q

The carbon that is removed in PDC leaves in the form of ____.

A

CO2

30
Q

Because there are 2 molecules of pyruvate at the end of glycolysis, what is produced in PDC?

A

2 molecules of acetyl Co-A, 2 molecules of NADH, and 2 molecules of CO2.

31
Q

The process of glycolysis produces ATP and NADH by converting one molecule of ______ to 2 molecules of ______.

A

glucose, pyruvate

32
Q

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is found in the _____ of the mitochondria.

A

Matrix

33
Q

______ is made of many glucose molecules bonded together, and its function is to store energy.

A

Glycogen

34
Q

During the PDC, a molecule of pyruvate is converted to _____, a molecule of _______ is produced, and _____ is lost.

A

Acetyl Co-A, NADH, CO2

35
Q

What is a process that indirectly requires oxygen?

A

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex

36
Q

What is a process of cellular respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm?

A

37
Q

What is a process of cellular respiration that takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria?

A

Electron transport chain

38
Q

What is regenerated each time the Krebs cycle is completed?

A

The first molecule (oxaloacetic acid)

39
Q

What happens during the Krebs cycle?

A

Acetyl Co-A is combined with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid. Citric acid is broken down and rearranged to form the original oxaloacetic acid molecule. 3 molecules of NADH, 1 of FADH2 and 1 ATP are made. CO2 is released.

Oxygen is also known as the ______

A

final electron acceptor

oxidize

43
Q

Electron transport occurs along the _______ of the mitochondria.

Q

The products of the Krebs cycle are 3 molecules of _______, 1 molecule of _____, and 1 molecule of _____.

A

NADH, FADH2, ATP

Q

In the last step of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts electrons to form ______.

A

47
Q

What are the primary goals of electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation?

A

to oxidize electron carriers

use the energy from those electrons to make ATP

48
Q

What does ATP synthase do?

A

It allows the H+ ions back into the matrix

49
Q

How many ATP molecules are produced for each molecule of glucose that’s broken down?

A

about 36

50
Q

Fermentation produces _____ in yeast and _____ in muscle cells.
