Study Notes
- Aerobic respiration of glucose has 4 stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle, and electron transport/chemiosmosis.
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and splits glucose into pyruvate.
- The link reaction converts pyruvate into acetyl CoA which enters the Krebs cycle.
- Hydrogen atoms are transferred to NAD to produce reduced NAD in all three stages.
- NADH and FADH release their hydrogen atoms as protons and electrons in the final stage.
- Electrons pass through an electron transport chain and protons are used for ATP synthesis.
- The presence of oxygen is necessary for oxidative phosphorylation.
- Glycolysis can occur in the absence of oxygen in anaerobic respiration.
- Glycolysis yields 2 ATP and NADH which carries electrons to the electron transport chain.
- The Krebs cycle produces CO2, ATP, and reduced NAD and FAD.
Test your knowledge on the aerobic respiration of glucose with this quiz! From glycolysis to the Krebs cycle and electron transport/chemiosmosis, this quiz will challenge your understanding of the four stages involved. Learn about the link reaction, the importance of NADH and FADH, and how ATP is synthesized. See if you understand the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration and the role of oxygen in oxidative phosphorylation. Test your knowledge on the production of CO2
