Q

Aerobic Pathway happens in ______, ______ and _____ _____

A
  • E.T.C.
  • glycolysis,
  • Krebs Cycle
17
Q

Glycolysis***

A
  • splits glucose into TWO pyruvate molecules
  • takes place in CYTOPLASM
  • 2 ATP per glucose
  • 2 NADH’s
18
Q

Mitochondria is the site of _____ & ______

A
  • krebs cycle

- E.T.C.

19
Q

Outer Membrane

A

-allow pyruvate & NADH to ENTER

20
Q

Inner Membrane

A
  • Christae, has molecules E.T.C & ATP

- synthesizes ENZYMES

21
Q

Inner Compartment contains…

A
  • DNA
  • ribosomes
  • enzymes of KREBS CYCLE
22
Q

Krebs Cycle breaks…

A

down ORGANIC molecules besides glucose

23
Q

E.T.C

A

1) e- from NADH & FADH2 passed in chain, flowing DOWN energy gradient
2) energy RELEASED by e- transfers goes into synthesis of ATP

24
Q

***O2 is the final…

A

e- ACCEPTOR in E.T.C.

-combines with e- and H+, forming H2O
