Aerobic respirationWhat is aerobic respiration - answer releasing energy by breaking down glucose into
carbon dioxide and water
What is the chemical equation for aerobic respiration - answerC6H12O6 + O2 = CO2
and H2O
How is the energy released from respiration stored - answer by the phosphorylation of
ADP to ATP
What are the four stages of aerobic respiration - answer Glycolysis, link reaction, krebs
cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
Where does glycolysis occur - answer in the cells cytoplasm
Where do the link reaction , krebs and oxidative phosphorylation occur - answer in the
mitochondria
Name the three co-enzymes that are used during aerobic respiration – answer NAD ,
FAD and co enzyme A
What is the product of glycolysis - answer2 x pyruvate molecules
What is the intermediate product in aerobic respiration before pyruvate can be formed -
answer2 x triose phosphate molecules
How much ATP and ADP are used/made during glycolysis and what is the net gain or
loss - answer2 x ATP required to break glucose nto the two triose phosphate molecules.
Converting triose phosphate to pyruvate phosphorylates 4 ADP molecules to ATP
making a net gain of 2 ATP
What other by product of glycolysis apart from pyruvate and ATP is there - answer2
NAD molecules are reduced to NADH
What is the fate of the pyruvate and the NAD produced in the glycolysis reaction -
answerNAD goes into mitochondria to be use in oxidative phosphorlyation and pyruvate
goes into mitochondria fro the link reaction
Where does the link reaction occur - answerits the first stage that occurs in the
mitochondria
