glycolysis |
|
Why are carbohydrates and fats considered high energy foods? |
They have a lot of electrons associated with hydrogen. |

Substrate-level phosphorylation accounts for approximately what percentage of the ATP formed during glycolysis? |
100% |
|
n addition to ATP, what are the end products of glycolysis? |
NADH and pyruvate |
|
Starting with one molecule of glucose, the "net" products of glycolysis are |
2 NADH, 2 H+, 2 pyruvate, 2 ATP, and 2 H2O. |
|
In glycolysis, for each molecule of glucose oxidized to pyruvate |
2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are produced. |
|
A molecule that is phosphorylated |
has an increased chemical reactivity; it is primed to do cellular work. |
|
Why is glycolysis described as having an investment phase and a payoff phase? |
It uses stored ATP and then forms a net increase in ATP. |
|
In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the pyruvate 1) loses a carbon, which is given off as a molecule of CO2, 2) is oxidized to form a two-carbon compound called acetate, and 3) is bonded to coenzyme A. These three steps result in the formation of |
acetyl CoA, NADH, H+, and CO2. |
|
During cellular respiration, acetyl CoA accumulates in which location? |
mitochondrial matrix |
|
For each molecule of glucose that is metabolized by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, what is the total number of NADH + FADH2 molecules produced? |
12 |

|
Where are the proteins of the electron transport chain located? |
mitochondrial inner membrane |
|
In chemiosmotic phosphorylation, what is the most direct source of energy that is used to convert ADP + Pi to ATP? |
energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase |
|
Energy released by the electron transport chain is used to pump H+ ions into which location? |
mitochondrial intermembrane space |
|
When hydrogen ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix across the inner membrane and into the intermembrane space, the result is the |
creation of a proton gradient. |
|
