Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the net outputs of glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 Pyruvate

Front

How many carbons are in Acetyl-CoA?

Back

2

Front

What are the inputs to the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle)?

Back

2 Acetyl-CoA, 1 ADP, 3 NAD+, 1 FAD+

Front

What are the total outputs of glycolysis?

Back

4 ATP, 2 pyruvate, 2 NADH

Front

How many carbons are in pyruvate?

Back

3

Front

What is the primary purpose of glycolysis?

Back

To convert glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.

Front

What is the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration?

Back

NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting electrons during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

Front

What is the significance of the Citric Acid Cycle?

Back

It generates electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and ATP, and it is a key metabolic pathway for energy production.

Front

What is the difference between substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation?

Back

Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, while oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the electron transport chain.

Front

What are the end products of the Citric Acid Cycle?

Back

3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP (or GTP), and 2 CO2 per Acetyl-CoA.
