A2 respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The minimum energy requirement of an organism | BASAL METABOLIC RATE |
| The first stage of aerobic respiration | GLYCOLYSIS |
| The main respiratory substrate | GLUCOSE |
| The addition of Hydrogen to a substance | REDUCTION |
| The addition of electrons to a substance | REDUCTION |
| The coenzyme that removes hydrogen atoms during glycolysis | NAD |
| What do we call the addition of phosphate when the energy comes from the substrates? | SUBSTRATE LEVEL PHOSPHORYLATION |
| The end products of glycolysis | 2ATP, 2X2 hydrogen atoms, 2X pyruvate |
| Is oxygen used during glycolysis? | NO |
| If oxygen is available, what happens to the pyruvate? | LINK REACTION |
| Which TWO chemical processes take place in the Link reaction? | DECARBOXYLATION, DEHYDROGENATION/REDUCTION |
| What products are formed in the Link reaction? | CO2, REDUCED NAD, ACETYL CO-A |
| What is the reaction that follows the link reaction? | KREBS CYCLE |
| What are the products made during the Krebs cycle? | CO2, REDUCED NAD,ATP, REDUCED FAD, A 4-C COMPOUND |
