Q

What is the fate of pyruvate?

A

If oxygen is available it is sent to the mitochondria.
If oxygen is NOT available it is sent to the cytoplasm.

Q

What are the ATP totals for glycolysis, Krebs, and ETS for GLUCOSE with and without oxygen?

A

38 ATP

17
Q

What is the name of the processes in which fatty acids are broken down during metabolism?

A

beta oxidation

18
Q

The fatty acid chain is broken into smaller carbon chains called what?

A

Acetyl-CoA

19
Q

Does the body prefer to use amino acids for energy?

A

No because it does not yield much ATP and requires more energy to make ATP
