aerobic respiration - answer the process by which cells use oxygen to obtain usable
energy from an energy source
where aerobic respiration occurs - answer mitochondria
glycolysis - answer(where) in cytoplasm of cell, (who) glucose 2atp 4adp and 4pi, (what)
using the energy of 2 atp molecules, glucose is split into 2, 3-carbon molecules called
pyruvate, (why) the conversion of a 6 carbon into two 3-carbons liberates potential
energy that recharges 4adp molecules; glucose + 2 atp ---> 2 pyruvate + 4atp = 2 atp
net
oxidation of pyruvate - answer(where) mitochondria, (who) pyruvate (3 carbon), (what)
two molecules of 3-carbon pyruvate are broken into two, 2-carbon molecules of acetyl-
CoA
Krebs cycle - answer(where) mitochondria, (who) acetyl-CoA, 34 adp + 34 Pi, (what) 2-
carbon molecules are built up and broken down in a series of cyclical chemical
reactions where CO2 is released as waste, (why) to recharge 34 adp into 34 atp,
