Glycolysis book quiz Flashcards
What happens to the products of glycolysis?
ATP is hydrolyzed to fuel many reactions within the cell; some energy is lost as heat in the process.
The molecules of NADH serve as both energy and electron shuttles within the cell.
Glycolysis alone results in the formation of relatively small amounts of ATP and NADH compared to the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
What happens to the pyruvate produced by glycolysis?
When oxygen is available, pyruvate is most often transported to the mitochondrial matrix, where it is converted to a substrate for the citric acid cycle.
In the absence of oxygen, some cells can use pyruvate as a substrate for a number of alternative pathways, most notably, lactate fermentation or alcohol fermentation.
Which of these processes occurs in the mitochondria?
I. Glycolysis
II. Citric acid cycle
III. Oxidative phosphorylation
Citric acid Cycle
Oxidation phosphorylation
What happens to excess energy in the electron transport chain that is not used to establish an electrochemical gradient of protons?
It is dissipated as heat.
