Cellular Respiration transforms glucose into
ATP
1 glucose yields about
38 ATP
What are the three parts of Cellular Respiration?
Glycolysis is the act of
Breaking up glucose into 2 Pyruvates
Glycolysis is in need of
2 ATP
How many net ATP are generated during Glycolysis?
2 ATP
What does Fermentation use to oxidize NADH back into NAD+?
Use pyruvates
Glycolysis reduces
2NAD+ into 2NADH
What is the Net production of Glycolysis?
The Krebs cycle also generates
2 ATP
Krebs is fueled by
CoA, which is attached to the remaining pyruvate
What is produced by the Krebs Cycle?
The bulk of ATP is produced in the
ETC
How is NADH formed in both glycolysis + Krebs?
Hs are added to the NAD+, making them NADH
For each molecule of glucose, how many NADH formed in both glycolysis + Krebs?
10 NAD+s for each molecule of glucose
Why is NADH a better electron donor than FADH2?
NADH has electrons at highest level, allowing transfer of electrons directly to complex I in ETC
