Respiration: Link Reaction Flashcards
1
Q
LR- Step 1
A
- Pyruvate is oxidized to acetate by NAD
- NAD becomes NADH
- CO2 byproduct
2
Q
LR- Step 2
A
- Acetate combines with coenzyme A to produce acetylcoenzyme A
3
Q
LR- Products
A
- reaction occurs twice for every glucose molecule
2 Acetyl CoA
2 CO2 released
2 NADH
4
Q
KC: Step 1
A
- Acetyl CoA reacts with a 4C molecule
- releases CoA
- produces a 6C molecule that enters cycle
5
Q
Step 2
A
- 6C molecule loses 2x CO2
- Produces ATP from ADP + Pi
- oxidised by Coenzymes
- FAD becomes FADH
- 3X NAD becomes 3X NADH
6
Q
