Solution Summary

The solution helps in understanding cell respiration, gylcolysis, krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.

Solution Preview

Glycolysis:
Harvests chemical energy by oxidizing glucose to pyruvate. This occurs in the cytoplasm.
Glucose + 2NAD + 2ATP ----- 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 4ATP

The bridge between glycolysis and the Kreb's Cycle:
Pyruvate enters the mitochondria via a transport protein located in the mitochondrial membrane and is converted to acetyl CoA which also releases NADH. ...

  • The energy in glucose is transformed into ATP

    Before the Kreb's Cycle can act on the products of glycolysis, the pyruvic acid molecules from glycolysis diffuse into the mitochondria of the cell and undergo further aerobic respiration transformations.

  • The body Metabolism

    Hence, ATP GENERATION - ATP EXPENDITURE = NET ATP For each turn of the Kreb's cycle, how much ATP is produced? Thirty (30) ATP molecules are produced for each turn at the Kreb's cycle.

  • Basic questions on cell biology

    Sugar, in the form of glucose, enters the cell to the CYTOPLASM where it is broken down by the process of GLYCOLYSIS. The products of glycolysis enter the MITOCHONDRIA where the KREB's CYCLE takes place.

  • Kreb's Cycle and Energy

    Consider the following reactions, which are two consecutive steps in the cyclic, multistep metabolic pathway referred to as the Kreb's cycle.

  • Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration description

    The 2nd part of the respiration process occurs in the mitochondria. This is known as the Kreb's Cycle or the Citric Acid cycle.

  • Lactic acid build up.

    For more ATP you need to enter into the Kreb's cycle (or citric acid cycle). From the Kreb's cycle and glycolysis you can derive a total of 38ATP. However, to get these ATP (largely formed from the reduction of NADH to NAD+) you need oxygen.
