Module 11 Flashcards
Acetyl coA
Intermediate product between glycolysis and Karen’s cycle in cellular respiration. *pyruvate breaks down to acetyl coA** enters krebs is further broken down
Cellular respiration
Use of oxygen to release energy from nutrients also aerobic
FADH2
One electron carrier produced in Krebs. Transferred to the electron transport chain where the electrons are used to generate ATP
Aerobic
Requires energy
Fermentation
Does not require energy and they do not break down all glucose fully to carbon. Only produces tiny amount of ATP
NADH
an electron carrier molecule produced in glycolysis and Kreb cycle.
Anaerobic
Doesn’t require energy
Krebs cycle
Second stage of aerobic that occurs when acetyl coA combines with a four-carbon molecule and goes through a cycle of reactions, producing ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2.
Electron transport chain
Produces the most ATP and the last stage
Glycolysis
Breakdown of glucose into pyruvate. Occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and produces small amounts of ATP and the NADH.
