Study Notes
Glycolysis
- Glycolysis breaks down glucose into two pyruvate molecules, 2 NADH, and 2 ATP (net).
Aerobic Respiration
- Oxygen is the final acceptor of electrons and H+ in the electron transport phosphorylation.
Krebs Cycle
- Pyruvate must be converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
Humans require Oxygen to survive
- Humans are obligate aerobes as they require oxygen to survive.
Evolution of Oxygen metabolism
- Organisms had to evolve a way to deal with free oxygen in the atmosphere.
