| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is metabolism? | how the animal gets energy |
| What is glycolysis? | it is a quick, anaerobic process that converts glucose to pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm to make a small amount of energy. |
| Is glycolysis reversible or irreversible? | reversible |
| What is step two of metabolism? | conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA |
| Does conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA aerobic or anaerobic? | aerobic |
| Where does conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA occur? | in the mitochondria |
| What happens if no oxygen is present in conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA? | lactic acid is formed |
| What is step three of metabolism? | the krebs cycle |
| Where does the krebs cycle occur? | in the mitochondria |
| Is the krebs cycle aerobic or anaerobic? | aerobic |
| Is the krebs cycle slow or fast? | slow |
| Is the krebs cycle reversible or irreversible? | irreversible |
| What does glycolysis start and end with? | it starts with glucose and ends with pyruvic acid |
| What does conversion of conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA start and end with? | it starts with pyruvic acid and ends with acetyl CoA |
| What does the krebs cycle start and end with? | it starts with acetyl CoA and ends with CO2 and energy |
| What does the electron transport chain do? | it exchanges NADH2 for ATP |
| Which step produces the most energy? | the krebs cycle |
| Carbohydrates can be converted to fat (true/false) | true |
| What nutrient, if broken down to quickly, can lead to ketone production? | lipids |
