Q

Coupled reactions

A

Spontaneous reaction provides energy needed by the nonspontaneous one; common paired nonspontaneous reaction is formation of ATP(ADP)

Q

Monosaccharides in Glycolysis produce

A

NADP, ATP, conversion of one hexose molecule into 2 3-carbon Pyruvates, Pyruvate is modified to Acetyl-CoA, Acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle; occurs in cytoplasm

Q

NADH and FADH2 can enter the

A

Electron Transport Chain

17
Q

The Electron Transport Chain

A

Coenzymes are recycled to their oxidative forms, energy released is used during oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP

18
Q

Occur in mitochondria

A

Fatty oxidation, amino catabolism, the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
