2 ATP
4 CO2

Question 4

What is the purpose of the Krebs cycle

Answer 4

To extract energy in the form of ATP, NADH, and FADH2 from the complete breakdown of glucose

Question 5

Aerobic or Anaerobic?

Answer 5

Aerobic

Question 6

6 steps of Krebs cycle

Answer 6

1) series of energy extraction reactions
2) citric acid broken down into a 5-C, then a 4-C molecule
3) CO2 released
4) remaining 4-C molecule is converted back into starting 4-C molecule
5) energy released by rearranging C-bonds
6) energy captured by ATP, NADH, and FADH2
