Document Summary

Citric acid cycle: takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria. Before the citric acid cycle can t begin-pyruvate must be converted to a acetyl coa. The remaining two carbon atoms attached to coa enter the citric acid cycle and are completely oxidized to carbon dioxide. Nadh and fadh2(electron carriers)- donate electrons to electron transport chain at the end of electron transport chain-> electrons are passed the oxygen forming water. Electrons transfer causes protein complexes to pump hydrogen ions from the mitochondria matrix into the inter membrane space. About 40% of energy and glucose molecule is harvested for use. Fermentation consists of glycolysis plus reactions that regenerate and nad+ Lactic fermentation- pyruvate is reduced directly to nadh to form lactate.

Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose monomer and dimers. Glucose is converted to pyruvate and then to acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters the citric acid cycle and is broken down to CO2 and in the process produces NADH & FADH2, which is utilized in the generation of ATP via the electron transport chain. Why does the cell go through this elaborate pathway to convert glucose to carbon dioxide and water and in the process generate ATP? Why not use a simpler and shorter mechanism to breakdown glucose?

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...
