Glycolysis notes

Question 1

What is the combustion reaction of cellular respiration

Answer 1

C6H1206 + 6 02 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP + heat

Question 2

Does glucose spontaneously combust

Answer 2

No

Question 3

Glucose combustion does what

Answer 3

Releases energy all at once

Question 4

Cellular respiration does what

Answer 4

Releases energy in a series of enzymes - controlled reaction

Question 5

What 2 major mechanisms is ATP generated through

Answer 5

Substrate-level phosphorylase

Oxidative phosphorylation

Question 6

Does glycolysis require oxygen

Answer 6

No

Question 7

Substrate level phosphorylation allows ATP to do what

Answer 7

And I love ATP to be generated by anaerobic organisms or for ATP production to continue in aerobic cells when oxygen is unavailable

Question 8

What is energy from NADH & FADH2 oxidation used for

Answer 8

It is used to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane as electrons are passed from NADH & FADAH2 to other electron carriers that are part of the ETC
