Accumulate in the mitochondrial matrix. They come from NADH and FADH2 in the electron transport chain.
What is produced from pyruvic acid in the first step of aerobic respiration?
Acetyl CoA is produced as CO2 and NADH are released.
FAD
An electron carrier that is changed to FADH2, similar to NAD+.

Glycolysis
Biochemical pathway where glucose is converted into three carbon molecules of pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.

Under what conditions would the cells in your body undergo lactic acid fermentation?
During strenuous exercise when muscle cells get low on oxygen, they will use it for a short period of time.
Where does glycolysis take place in eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
Eukaryotes - cytosol / Prokaryotes - cytosol
The products from the Krebs cycle that drive the electron transport chain are:
FADH2 and NADH
Describe the major events in glycolysis.
Glucose is split into 2 pyruvic acid.
Identify the two major parts of cellular respiration.
Glycolysis and Aerobic Respiration
alcoholic fermentation
Glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol; a process used by yeast cells and some bacteria.
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, with no release of carbon dioxide. Involved in making cheese and sauerkraut; also made in our muscles.
Contrast the roles of glycolysis and aerobic respiration in cellular respiration.
Glycolysis- Glucose is converted into pyruvic acid, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.
Krebs Cycle
Is a biochemical pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA, producing CO2, NADH, FADH2 and ATP.
What is the role of oxaloacetic acid in the Krebs cycle?
It combines with acetyl CoA to form citric acid which is broken down into oxaloacetic acid again as ATP, NADH, FADH2 and ATP are produced.
Glycolysis produces only 2% of the energy from glucose. Where is the remaining energy in glucose?
It is in pyruvic acid and will be broken down in aerobic respiration to release more energy (ATP).
Glycolysis makes 4 ATP, but the final net gain is only 2 ATP. Why is this?
It takes 2 ATP to start glycolysis, and this must be subtracted from the 4 ATP produced yo get the final net amount of 2 ATP.

Krebs cycle
Relate aerobic respiration to the structure of a mitochondrion.
Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and the Electron Transport Chain occurs in the inner membrane (cristae) of the mitochondria.
Compare lactic acid fermentation with alcoholic fermentation.
Lactic Acid fermentation produces Lactic acid as a waste product. Alcoholic fermentation produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.
What important molecule is generated by both lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation?
NAD
Krebs cycle
Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.
Electron Transport Chain
Occurs on the cristae (inner mitochondrial membrane).
Pyruvic Acid
Produced in Glycolysis and then used during Fermentation of Anaerobic Respiration
Summarize the events of the steps before the Krebs cycle.
Pyruvic Acid is transformed into Acetyl CoA. The products of this step are: 2 CO2 and 2 NADH.
Fermentation
The combination of glycolysis and additional pathways (lactic acid and alcoholic) which regenerates NAD+.
anaerobic respiration
The process by which cells convert glucose into energy in the absence of oxygen.
What happens to the electrons at the end of the electron transport chain?
They combine with oxygen to form water as ATP is produced.
aerobic respiration
Used to make a lot of ATP; has to occur in the presence of oxygen; Involves the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain.
