Glycolysis/the citric acid cycle

Question 1

Is glycolysis anaerobic or aerobic

Answer 1

anaerobic

Question 2

Phase 1 :

Answer 2

Invest
- An endergonic process where ATP gets hydrolyzed
- Takes place in the cytoplasm
- The negatively charged phosphates allow for it to split into two parts

Question 3

Phase 2 :

Answer 3

Cleavage
- 6 carbon molecules splits into two carbon molecules

Question 4

Phase 3:

Answer 4

Payoff
- 2 ATP, 2 pyruvate, and 2 NADH are produced

Question 5

Glycolysis

Answer 5

The process in the cytoplasm where glucose is broken down and synthesized to produce pryuvate

Question 6

Pyruvate oxidation

Answer 6

• in eukaryotic cells: mitochondrial matrix
• Pyruvate gets split to produce carbon dioxide and ATP is produced
• Electrons get transferred from NAD+ to NADH
• The remaining Acetyl group gets moved onto the next step

Question 7

The citric acid cycle

Answer 7

• Acetyl group is fully oxidized to carbon dioxide
• twice as many ATP and electron carriers are produced
• Acetyl group gets regenerated
• goes from a 6 carbon molecule to a 4 carbon molecule releasing more carbon dioxide

End goal:
- 3 NADH
- 2 FADH2
- 2 ATP
- CO2

Question 8

Oxidative phosphorylation

Answer 8

The remaining electron carries turn energy into ATP

ATP
and water is produced
