Exam 3 Flashcards
properties of amphibolic metabolic pathways
3 overall key outcomes of the central metabolic pathways
ATP, reducing power (like NADH), precursor metabolites
Do all microbial cells have glycolysis?
Do all microbial cells have the Krebs cycle?
Do all microbial cells carry out some type of fermentation?
Do all microbial cells carry out some form of respiration?
Does a cell that is abe to carry out glycolysis a fermentation. the Krebs cycle, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration carry out all of these metabolic processes at all times?
Why is glycolysis; what are its general traits; and what does it do?
Where does glycolysis occur in the cell?
Cytoplasm
What is the general summary equation of glycolysis?
Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2NAD+ -> 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH
Why is NADH reoxidation so important for a cell’s metabolism?
How is ATP produced during glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and/or a microbial fermentation?
