Document Summary

6. 6 overview: cellular respiration occurs in three main stages. Occurs in the cytosol of the cells. Begins by breaking glucose into two molecules of a three-carbon compound called pyruvate. Pyruvate is oxidized to a two carbon compound and citric acid cycle completes the breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide. Nadh and relation electron carrier, fadh2 shuttle electrons to an electron transport chain embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Chemiosmosis, the potential energy of the concentration gradient of h+ is used to make atp. 6. 7 glycolysis harvest chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate. Glucose has six carbons and are shown in the two molecules of pyruvate at the completion of this stage. Substrate-level phosphorylation: an enzyme transfers a phosphate group from a substrate molecule directly to adp, forming atp. Intermediates: compounds that form between the initial reactant, glucose, and the final product, pyruvate. Example of a metabolic pathway in which each chemical step feeds into the next line.

Related Questions

Which of the following accurately describe difference(s) between oxidative phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation during aerobic respiration in eukaryotes?

	a.	Oxidative phosphorylation relies on energy initially derived from redox reactions to power ATP synthase, and substrate-level phosphorylation relies on enzymatic reactions to phosphorylate ADP.
	b.	Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane and substrate-level phosphorylation only occurs in the cytosol.
	c.	Oxidative phosphorylation uses oxygen as a substrate and substrate-level phosphorylation uses phosphate.
	d.	Oxidative phosphorylation takes place during glycolysis and the electron transport chain and substrate-level phosphorylation occurs during the citric acid cycle and chemiosmosis.
	e.	Oxidative phosphorylation produces less ATP than substrate-level phosphorylation.

Question 48

Soccer (assuming field player) is a sport which is 90% aerobic.

True

False

Question 50

Glucose is necessary for fatty acid oxidation because...

		its derivative, pyruvate, is condensated with carbonic acid to form oxaloacetate, which in turn is a necessary carbon compound in the citric acid cycle
		it is needed to convert fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoA which in turn is oxidized to acetyl CoA
		glucose is decarboxylated into cytochrome oxidase which is a necessary intermediate in the citric acid cycle
		its derivative, acetyl CoA, is condensated with carbonic acid to form lactase, which in turn is a necessary carbon compound in the citric acid cycle

Question 51

In aerobic ATP production, the role of oxygen is to...

		to keep the electron transport chain operational
		to accept electrons from the 3rd cytochrome and thereby oxidizing it so it can accept new electrons
		act as a oxidizing agent by accepting electrons from the electron transport chain and combining with hydrogen ions (protons)
		all of the above

Question 52

The primary purpose of the citric acid cycle is...

aerobic glycolysis

gluconeogenesis using lactate

the decarboxylation of carbon compounds to produce NADH.

the shuttling of hydrogen ions through the inner mitochondrial membrane

Question 55

Which of the following is the best predictor of marathon running performance?

	A.	Maximal rate of pyruvate oxidation
	B.	Maximal rate of lactate formation
	C.	Amount of adipose tissue triglycerides
	D.	Pre-race blood glucose concentration
