What is the term for metabolic pathways that release stored energy by breaking down complex molecules?
Catabolic pathways
What is the term used for the metabolic pathway in which glucose is degraded in the presence of oxygen to carbon dioxide and water?
Cellular respiration
Which of the following statements are correct about an oxidation reduction reaction?
A and B are correct
Which statement is not correct with regard to redox reaction’s?
A molecule is reduced if it loses electrons
The molecule that functions as the reducing agent and a redox or oxidation reduction reaction
Loses electrons and loses energy

C6H12O6 is oxidized and O2 is reduced
When a glucose molecule loses a hydrogen Adam as a result of an oxidation reduction reaction the molecule becomes
Oxidized
When a molecule of NAD+ Gains a hydrogen atom the molecule becomes

Where does glycolysis take place
Cytosol
The ATP made during glycolysis is generated by
Substrate level phosphorylation
Which process and eukaryotic cells will proceed normally weather oxygen is present or absent
Glycolysis
Substrate level phosphorylation accounts for approximately what percentage of the ATP formed during glycolysis?
100%
In addition to ATP, what are the end products of glycolysis
NADH and pyruvate
Starting with one molecule of glucose, the net products of glycolysis are
2 NADH, 2 H+, 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 H2O
In glycolysis, for each molecule of glucose oxidized to pyruvate
2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are produced
Which of the following intermediary metabolites enters the citric acid cycle and is formed, in part, by the removal of a carbon from one molecule of pyruvate?
Acetyl COA
Where in cellular respiration acetyl COA accumulates in which location?
Mitochondrial matrix
Cellular respiration harvest the most chemical energy from which of the following
Chemiosmotic phosphorylation
During aerobic respiration, electrons travel down hill in which sequence?
Food –> NADH –> electron transport chain –> oxygen
