How many carbons are in pyruvate?
3 carbons
What is dehydrogenation?
Removing a Hydrogen.
What is decarboxylation?
Releasing a CO2 molecule
Where does Krebs cycle occur?
Mitochondria matrix
How many carbons are in Oxaloacetate?
6 carbons
Citrate forms a five carbon compound, why?
A CO2 molecule is removed.
Which two substances are released by the reduction of an NAD+ molecule?
Reduced NAD (NADH) and H+
What is combined with oxaloacetate and what does it form?
Acetyl CoA, it forms a 6 carbon sugar, Citrate.
How many turns of the krebs cycle for each glucose molecule
2, because each glucose makes 2 pyruvate and each pyruvate is one turn
What two products are common between the Krebs cycle and glycolysis?
ATP and NADH
What two products are common between the Krebs cycle and Links reaction
CO2 and NADH
What products released from Krebs cycle will go to the electron transfer chain?
NADH and FADH2
What is the name of the scientist who discovered the Krebs cycle
Sir Hans Krebs
What are the products and how many of them are formed
6 x NADH
4 x CO2
2 x FADH2
2 x ATP
Summarize the differences between Krebs cycle and glycolysis.
Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm.
Krebs occurs in mitochondrial matrix.
Glycolysis results in the production of two pyruvate molecules whereas krebs is a continuous cycle.
There is no FAD in glycolysis but there is in the krebs cycle.
