pyruvate

What products are formed during two phases of Glycolysis?

pyruvate-G3P

What type of reaction is aerobic respiration?

redox

During the citric acid cycle, each acetyl group entering the cycle yields

1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2

Which reaction is the aerobic respiration of glucose?

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O → 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + energy

Compare and contrast aerobic and anaerobic pathways used by cells to extract energy from organic molecules. Include the mechanism of ATP formation, the final electron acceptor, and the end products in your comparison.

BOTH aerobic and anaerobic pathways, electrons are transferred from glucose to NADH, and these electrons pass down an electron transport chain that is linked to the formation of ATP via chemiosmosis. Carbon dioxide is produced in both pathways. However, the final electron accepted in the AEROBIC PATHWAY is O2, which is converted to water. In the ANAEROBIC PATHWAY the final electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule such as nitrate or sulfate, which in turn is converted to a more reduced inorganic molecule.

Explain why fermentation is a highly inefficient process.

Only part of the fuel (glucose) is oxidized. It requires a large supply of fuel to perform the same amount of work as if aerobic respiration (20 times as much glucose). There is only a net profit of 2 ATPs during fermentation versus the 36-38 produced during aerobic respiration.

Explain how proteins can be metabolized by the same pathways that oxidize glucose

Proteins are converted to their components amino acids which in turn are deaminated to urea and various types of carbon skeletons. These carbon skeletons then feed into glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and / or are converted to acetyl CoA

Peter Mitchell demonstrated ATP production by aerobic bacteria to prove what process?

chemiosmosis

Which is a product from the first reaction of the citric acid cycle?

citrate

FAD is converted to FADH2

citric acid cycle

GDP is phosphorylated

citric acid cycle

In eukaryotes, where does glycolysis occur?

cytosol
