The Krebs Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
What happens during the krebs cycle?
A
acetyl Coenzyme A joins a 4 carbon compound to form a 6 carbon compound
coenzyme A is recycled
decarboxylation occurs when 6c compound becomes 5c compound
dehydrogedantion occurs
2
Q
What can lipids do?
A
can be respired aerobically - broken down into acetyl CoA to enter krebs cycle
3
Q
What is substrate level phosphorylation?
A
creation of ATP without ATP synthase - phosphate is added to ADP from another molecule
