Q

What is ADP + Pi

A

ATP

16
Q

ATP and NADH are produced from

A

The Krebs cycle

17
Q

Glycolysis produces

A
  • 2 ATP molecules by substrate-level phosphorylation

- 2 NADH produced by the reduction of NAD+

18
Q

For glycolysis to continue, NADH must be recycled to NAD+ by either

A
  • aerobic respiration

- fermentation (anaerobic)

19
Q

What is aerobic respiration?

A
  • oxygen is available as the final electron acceptor

- produces significant amount of ATP

20
Q

What is fermentation

A

(Anaerobic)

  • occurs when oxygen is not available
  • organic molecule is the final electron acceptor
