A
Mitochondria
2
Q
How many ATP does Aerobic Respiration of 1 glucose yield
A
36-38 ATP
3
Q
what is glycolysis
A
Glucose –> 2 Pyruvates
4
Q
what does glycolysis yield
A
2 ATP and 2 NADH
5
Q
what does pyruvate grooming yield
A
2 NADH
6
Q
what does the Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) yield
A
2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2
7
Q
aside from using glucose in glycolysis, where else can the body get fuel for these processes
A
Carbs, Proteins, Fats
8
Q
What is fermentation
A
If there’s no oxygen for the cell, organic compounds act as both electron donors and acceptors
9
Q
what are 3 functions of fermentation
A
-allows organism to survive w/o O2
-removes toxic excess NADH
-replenishes supply of NAD+
