Respiration
AQA A level biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Stages of aerobic respiration | Glycolysis, Link reaction, Krebs cycle, Oxidative phosphorylation |
| Location of glycolysis | Cytoplasm |
| Stages of glycolysis | Phosphorylation, oxidation |
| Glycolysis phosphorylation | glucose phosphorylated from ATP -> glucose phosphate + ADP ATP used to add another phosphate -> hexose biphosphate hexose biphosphate split -> two triose phosphates |
| Glycolysis oxidation | Triose phosphate oxidised/loses hydrogen -> two pyruvates NAD collects lost hydrogen ions -> reduced NAD |
| Products of glycolysis | 2 pyruvate 2 reduced NAD 4 ATP total/ 2 ATP net |
| Which coenzymes are used in respiration? | NAD and FAD |
| Location of Link reaction | mitochondrial matrix |
| Link reaction | Reduced NAD and pyruvate are actively transported to matrix pyruvate is oxidised to acetate (forming reduced NAD) carbon removed and CO2 forms acetate combines with coenzyme A to form acetylcoenzyme A (2C) |
| Products of the link reaction per glucose molecule | 2 acetylcoenzyme A molecules 2 carbon dioxide molecules released 2 reduced NAD molecules |
| Location of Krebs cycle | mitochondrial matrix |
