  • describe glycolysis?

    1)glucose phosphorylated using ATP to create glucose phosphate
    2)isomerism occurs and phosphorylation again into fructo-1,2-bisphosphate
    3)then because it is highly reactive it splits into 2 TP molecules
    4)TP is oxidised and turns into pyruvate
    5)NAD is reduced and net gain of 2 ATP
  • in anaerobic what is pyruvate converted to?

    lactate or ethanol
  • describe the link reaction?

    1)pyruvate is decarboxylated
    2)then oxidised to create acetate while NAD is reduced
    3)acetate combines with coenzyme A forming acetyl coenzyme A
    4) products are carbon dioxide , nadh and acetyl coA
  • where do glycolysis and the link reaction take place?

    cytoplasm and matrix
  • krebs acronym?

    6 5 4 4 4
    n n n f n
    c a
  • what type of phosphorylation happens in krebs? 

    substrate-level
  • what is oxidative phosphorylation ?

    process where energy is taken from reduced coenzymes to create ATP, involving electron transport chain and chemiosmosis
  • what is the terminal electron acceptor in aerobic?

    Oxygen
  • how much ATP from 1 glucose?
