The synthesis of ATP from glucose, lipids and proteins

The process where one molecule of glucose is converted into two molecules of pyruvic acid is called _____________.

How many molecules of ATP do we get as a consequence of GLYCOLYSIS?

If OXYGEN is available the molecules of pyruvic acid are converted into molecules called

• acetyl coenzyme A

• acetyl coenzyme B

A coenzyme is a a non-protein compound that is necessary for the functioning of an enzyme.

• true

• false

If OXYGEN is available the molecules of acetyl coenzyme A enter two things

• the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain

• the motorcycle and the electron transport ghost train

If OXYGEN is NOT available the molecules of pyruvic acid are converted into

• glucose

• lactic acid molecules

How many molecules of ATP do we get as a consequence of anaerobic fermentation?

Where does GLYCOLYSIS occur?

• the cytoplasm

• mitochondria

Where does AEROBIC RESPIRATION occur?
