T7 Respiration: Glycolysis and Link

Question 1

Name the four stages of respiration

Answer 1

GLYCOLYSIS
LINK
KREBS
ETC and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 2

Describe the full process of glycolysis

Answer 2

Glucose 6C is coverted into Glucose-6-phosphate (One ATP used)

Glucose-6-phosphate is converted into hexose-1,6-bisphosphate (One ATP used)

Hexose-1,6-bisphosphate is unstable so breaks down into two molecules of triose phosphate (3C)

Each molecule of triose phosphate is converted into pyruvate 3C, producing two molecules of ATP and one NADH and H+ per molecule

Question 3

WHere does glycolysis occur

Answer 3

Cytoplasm

Question 4

Where does the link reaction occur

Answer 4

Matrix of the mitochondria

Question 5

Describe the link reaction

Answer 5

Each molecule of pyruvate is converted into Acetyl CoA

CO2 is produced
NAD is converted into NADH and H+
CoA enzyme is used

Question 6

How many carbons in Acetyl CoA

Answer 6

2
