What happens in glycolysis? |
ATP is used to phosphorylate glucose jnto hexose bisphosphate, which then splits up into 2 molecules of triose phosphate which are oxiidised to pyruvate. |
|
|
How many and what kind of molecules are produced in glycolysis? |
There is a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 Reduced NAD per glucose molecule. |
|
|
What happens in the link reaction? |
The pyruvate is converted into acetate (by decarboxylation and the reduction of NAD). Acetate combines with coenzyme A to form Acetyl coenzhme A. |
|
|
What happens in the krebs cycle? |
Acteyle coenzyme A (2-C) combines with oxyloacetate (4-C) to form Citrate is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated to produce a 5-C compound which is then used to regenerate oxalpacetate. |
|
|
How many and What molecules are produced in the krebs cycle? |
1 coenzyme A 1 oxaloacetate 3 Reduced NAD 1 Reduced FAD 1 ATP 2 CO2 |
|
|
Describe and explain how ATP id produced in the krebs cycle. |
ATP is produced by substrate level phosphylation. (The transfer of a phosphate group from an intermediate molecule to ADP |
