For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ NADH enter the electron transport chain.
This process splits glucose in half and produces 2 ATPs for each glucose.
Which statement describes glycolysis?
This process produces some ATP and carbon dioxide in the mitochondrion.
Which statement describes the citric acid cycle?
This process uses energy captured from electrons flowing to oxygen to produce most of the ATPs in cellular respiration.
Which statement describes the electron transport chain?
Glucose is not a usable energy source for most enzymes
Why do cells convert the energy stored in the bonds of glucose into energy stored in the bonds of ATP?
because lactic acid fermentation doesn't produce a gas
Why don't we use bacteria that perform lactic acid fermentation to make bread?
Yeast
Which of the following uses alcohol fermentation in the absence of oxygen?
FADH2
Which of these is NOT a product of glycolysis?
Respiration continues to extract energy from pyruvate. In fermentation, pyruvate is wasted.
Why is respiration a better method than fermentation for extracting energy from glucose?
The final product of the process serves as an initial reactant in the process.
Why is the Krebs cycle called a cycle?
glycolysis
Which of the following processes takes place in the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell?
Oxygen
The final electron acceptor of cellular respiration is _____.
glycolysis and fermentation
A line of mutated yeast cells, called Wee mutants, has no mitochondria. Their name comes from the fact that these cells are very small compared to other yeast cells. Which energy-harvesting processes can Wee mutants perform?
