1
Q
What is catabolism and anabolism?
A
Catabolism -> large molecules converted into small molecules + energy
Anabolism -> small molecule +energy converted into large molecules.
2
Q
What is the role of NAD+ and FAD?
A
To help regenerate more ATP
3
Q
During anaerobic respiration other electron acceptor can be used, like oxygen in aerobic respiration, which are these and which conversion do they do?
A
Fructose + NADH + H+ -> Mannitol + NAD+
Fumarate + FADH2 -> Succinate + FAD
