catabolized

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

chemiosmosis

In eukaryotes, where does glycolysis occur?

cytosol

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

1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2.

Which of the following is an end product of glycolysis?

ATP

In the electron transport chain, exergonic redox processes drive the endergonic reaction in which:

ATP is produced by phosphorylation of ADP.

How does anaerobic respiration differ from aerobic respiration?

Anaerobic respiration utilizes NO3− as the terminal electron acceptor.

Aerobic respiration is regulated by the binding of ATP or AMP to what enzyme?

phosphofructokinase

During the first phase of glycolysis, because glucose is relatively stable and not easily broken down, two ____ reactions take place to transfer a phosphate group from ATP to the sugar.

phosphorylation

The energy released during the chain of electron transport molecules is used to create a(n) ____ gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane for chemiosmosis.

proton

During aerobic respiration, what molecule is degraded for the formation of acetyl coenzyme A?

pyruvate

In glycolysis, a six-carbon glucose molecule is converted into two three-carbon molecules of:

pyruvate.

A glucose molecule that is metabolized via aerobic respiration has been completely broken down and released as CO2 by the end of:

the citric acid cycle.

Glycolysis yields a net energy profit of ____ ATP molecules per molecule of glucose.

two

Alcohol is the end product of fermentation by what type of organism?

yeast

What is the role of the oxygen molecules required for aerobic respiration?

To form ATP

If yeasts are grown under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is converted first to ____ and then to ____.

acetaldehyde; ethyl alcohol

Saturated fatty acids store more energy than unsaturated fatty acids. Based on your knowledge of aerobic respiration, you draw this conclusion because saturated fatty acids:

are deaminated.

Which of the following steps in the citric acid cycle directly produces a molecule of ATP (or GTP)?

succinyl CoA → succinate

What is the chemical reaction illustrated in the figure?

the energy investing phase of glycolysis

In glycolysis, glucose receives two phosphate groups from ____, thus forming fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate.

ATP

Which of the following statements about the electron transport chain is true?

ATP synthesis associated with the electron transport chain is an example of substrate level phosphorylation.

Which reaction is the aerobic respiration of glucose?

Why must the transfer of electrons from glucose to oxygen during aerobic respiration take place in a series of steps?

The energy of the electrons can be used to make ATP.
