Respiration

Question	Answer
Respiration equation	Oxygen+Glucose ----- Water+carbon dioxide(+energy) O2 + C6H1206 ---- H2O + CO2 (+ATP)
Where does glycolysis occur	in the cytoplasm
what are the FOUR stages of glycolysis	stage 1: activation of glucose by phosphorylation stage 2: splitting of phosphorylated glucose stage 3: oxidation of triose phosphate stage 4; production of ATP
How many ATP are produced during glycolysis	net gain of 2
How and where does the pyruvate go to after glycolysis and how?	It is actively transported to the matrix of the mitochondria
The equation of the link reaction	pyruvate + NAD + CoA ---- acetyl CoA + NADH + C02
What does the krebs cycle involve and where	located in the matrix of the mitochondria the krebs cycle involved a series of oxidation and reduction reactions
Krebs cycle	coenzymes involved FAD and NAD Image: 40332b74-8e08-43ca-8993-4e80d6cd035f (image/jpg)
Where is the electron transport chain located?	the inner folded membrane of the mitochondria the cristae
State the importance of coenzymes in the ETC	The NADH and FADH 'donate' protons and electrons
State the importance of electrons in the ETC	Electrons are passed down carrier molecules in a series of oxidation-reduction reactions releasing energy
state the importance of oxygen	O2 acts as the final acceptor of H+ ions this is so there is not a 'back up' of ions
