Question | Answer |
---|---|
Cellular Respiration | Process by which living cells obtain energy from organic molecules |
What is the primary goal of cellular respiration? | To make ATP and NADH |
The four metabolic pathways | Glycolysis, breakdown of pyruvate to an acetyl group, Citric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle), and Oxidative phosphorylation |
Energy Investment | 2 STP hydrolyzed to create fructose-1,6 biophosphate |
Cleavage | 6 carbon molecules broken into two 3 carbon molecules of gylceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) |
Energy Liberation | Two G3P molecules broken down into two pyruvate molecules 2 NADH and 4 ATP |
