1. This is the process of breakdown of 6 carbon containing glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid. One molecule of pyruvic acid have 3 carbons. It is a common step for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm of all the organisms. It leads to the formation of four molecules of ATP and consumption of two molecules of ATP. Therefore net ATP gain is only two molecules. It reduces two molecules of NAD+ to NADH.
2. Citric acid cycle or kreb cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle is an important step for aerobic respiration. It takes place in the presence of oxygen only. It begins with the condensation of two carbon containing acetyl coenzyme a with four carbon containing of oxaloacetate to form 6 carbon containing citric acid. It takes place in mitochondrial matrix in eukaryotes and in cytoplasm in prokaryotes. It is an important process because it leads to the generation of maximum number of ATP. It occurs twice for one molecule of glucose. It leads to the reduction of three molecules of NADH and one molecule of FADH2. It undertakes to two decarboxylation steps and therefore two molecules of carbon dioxide formed in one cycle.

Briefly describe glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Talk about ATP, high-energy electron carriers, oxygen requirements,...
QUESTION 65 Free energy (delta G) is higher during the citric acid cycle than during glycolysis. Despite this, only two molecules of ATP will be generated in the krebs cycle. Most of the remaining free energy that is released during the krebs cycle will be O a. Used to synthesize GTP O b. Converted into kinetic energy O c.Lost as heat d. Used to reduce pyruvate Oe. Used to reduce electron carriers such as NADH and FADH2
Which energy pathway has a direct requirement for molecular oxygen (O2)? citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain glycolysis electron transport chain citric acid cycle
From your knowledge of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, calculate the amount of ATP that can be produced from 20 molecules of lactose metabolized aerobically through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
DIAGRAM and BRIEFLY explain how energy from high energy electron carriers is converted to ATP during respiration in mitochondria and aerobic bacteria. Label each process involved in energy conversions, and label two of the proteins involved in the final steps of making ATP. (compare this to ATP production during Photosynthesis) [hint: discuss electrons, gradients, and phosphates, and the proper terms for the pathways involved.]
6-10 Should have been inhibited fermentation citric acid cycle oxidation of pyruvate electron transport glycolysis cristae males no ATP Which statement about fermentation is false? Fermantation is used as a way of making a small number of ATP's per glucose molecule when the mitochondria are not working. Fermentation is used as a way of making a small number of ATP's per glucose molecule when the oxygen is temporarily not present. Heat is a product of fermentation. The main of fermentation...
