Glycolysis Flashcards
1
Q
Where are e- transferred in aerobic metabolism?
A
To the terminal oxygen
2
Q
Where are e- transferred in anaerobic metabolism?
A
NADH production outpaces utilization
3
Q
What effect does anaerobic metabolism have on glycolysis?
A
It halts glycolysis b/c there is a build up of NADH that needs to be converted back to NAD+ to keep glycolysis running. The cells achieve this by reducing pyruvate to lactate and regeneating NAD+.
