How does the Krebs cycle differ from glycolysis in terms of the energy produced?
Glycolysis produces a net 2 ATP, while the Krebs cycle produces 2 ATP directly and also provides NADH and FADH2 for the electron transport chain to produce more ATP
What type of combustion occurs in anaerobic respiration?
Incomplete
What is the end product of aerobic respiration?
CO2 and H2O
How does the electron transport chain work to produce ATP?
Electrons from NADH and FADH2 are passed through a series of electron carriers
This creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane
The proton gradient drives ATP synthase to produce ATP
What are the stages of aerobic respiration?
Glycolysis, Link reaction, Krebs cycle, Electron transport chain
What are the three stages of aerobic respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
How does the energy yield of aerobic respiration compare to anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic yields significantly more ATP
What is the end product of anaerobic respiration in animals?
Lactic acid
What type of respiration requires oxygen?
Aerobic respiration
What is the main difference in products between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic produces CO2 and water; anaerobic produces lactic acid/alcohol
What is produced during glycolysis in anaerobic respiration?
2 ATP
How do aerobic and anaerobic respiration work together?
They ensure energy is available for cellular needs
