| When O2 is present, pyruvate enters what organelle to complete the oxidation of glucose? | Mitochondria |
| What is pyruvate oxidized to before official start of krebs cycle? | Acetyl CoA |
| What are the 3 steps that links glycolysis to citric acid cycle? | 1. Pyruvate carboxyl group is removed 2. Remaining 2 compounds are oxidized to acetate & electron is transferred to NAD+ 3. CoA attaches to Acetate |
| What is a another name for the citric acid cycle? | Krebs Cycle |
| What does the citric acid cycle oxidize fuel from? | Pyruvate |
| What does the citric acid cycle generate? | 2 ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2 |
| How many steps does the citric acid cycle have? Does each step have the same enzyme or a specific one? | 8 with a specific enzyme. |
| How does the acetyl group of CoA join the cycle? What does this form? | It joins by combining with oxaloacetate. This forms citrate |
| What do the next 7 steps do to make the process a cycle? | They decompose citrate back to oxaloacetate. |
| What are NADH & FADH2 produced by? | They are produced by cycle relay electrons extracted from food to the ETC |
| In what part of the mitochondria does the kreb's cycle take place? | Matrix |
| What is produced at the stage of pyruvate oxidation? | 2 NADH & 2 CO2 is released |
