Q

What is the net yield of glycolysis?

A

2 ATP per 1 glucose

18
Q

What is the process of glycolysis?

A

Two ATP molecules are used to break glucose into smaller units. A phosphate group is added to the 6 carbon compound. Each three carbon compound reacts with a phosphate group. Hydrogen atoms are transferred to NAD+, producing NADH. Each thrree carbon sugar is converted to a 3 carbon molecule of pyruvate. Four ATP molecules are produced.

19
Q

When does fermentation occur?

A

When there is no oxygen

20
Q

What happens when there is no oxygen?

A

Fermentation occurs

21
Q

What is the process of fermentation?

A

pyruvic acid –> lactic acid, ethyl alcohol, NAD+

22
Q

what can stop fermentation being used and make glycolysis continue?

A

when NAD+ is made

23
Q

What are the two types of fermentation?

A

lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation

24
Q

What is the difference between Lactic acid and alcoholic?

A

Lactic turns pyruvic acid into a three carbon compound while alcoholic turn pyruvic into ethyl alcohol and CO2

25
What is the process of lactic acid?
6cs (glucose) --> glycolysis --> 3cs (pyruvic acid) | --> 3cs (lactic acid)
26
what is the process of alcoholic fermentation?
6cs (glucose) --> glycolysis --> 3cs (pyruvic acid) | --> CO2 and 2cs (2 carbon compound) --> 2cs (ethyl alcohol)
27
how much percent of the energy available is captured as ATP through glycolysis
2 percent
28
The energy in glucose in fermentation is held in ...
pyruvic acid
29
glycolysis alone or as a part of fermentation =
not very efficient
30
What are the stages of aerobic respiration?
krebs cycle and electron transport chain
31
where is the krebs cycle loacted?
mitochondrial matrix
32
what does the krebs cycle make?
NADH
33
the electron transport chain is located in the ...
inner membrane
34
the electron transport chain turns ...
NADH --> ATP
35
What is the process of the Krebs Cycle?
Pyruvic acid + Co-enzyme A --> Acetyl CoA
36
What is the last stage of cellular respiration
electron transport chain
37
What are the three stages of cellular respiration
glycolysis krebs cycle electron transport cahin and chemiosmosis
38
What are the two turns of krebs cycle
4 CO2 molecule 2ATP hydrogen atoms --> 6NADH, 2 FADH2
39
In the krebs cycle, the bulk of energy is still not
transferred to ATP
40
1 glucose equals
38 ATP
41
Most eukaryotes make
36 ATP
42
Cellular respiration is 20 more efficient than
Glycolysis
